Not so great for little guys afterall
I chose this movie for a movie night with my almost 5 and 7 year old girls because I remembered it being a sweet movie and the girls already knew the songs. While the basic plot is fine, after the opening scene of Kermit singing he winds up in a saloon (where he meets Fozzie) but in the saloon there are gun shots and shouts and general roughness to the point that my kids asked to turn it off. They also did not understand the frogs legs restaurant even after I explained it to them they asked "so why would anyone want Kermit's legs?" As an adult or older kid who has seen more movies it is fine, but if your set is easily scared and used to the Barbie movies, Mary Poppins, Madagascar, this was quite a jump with the realistic scenes. I think we will wait a few more years.

Great, but be warned about gun use
Love it, but I would've appreciated a warning about the use of guns. The gang of frog-hunters point their shotguns at Kermit and shoot a frog-cutout as target practice. Also, the "frog killer" character quite violently demonstrates his skill by throwing a sharpened fork at an image of a frog. This film was made before the current sensitivity about gun violence was a big issue, I guess.

hilarious, a great family movie
In The Muppet Movie, Kermit the Frog sets off for Hollywood to become a star and make millions of people happy. Along the way he runs into Fozzie the Bear, The Great Gonzo and his chicken, Miss Piggy, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, and lots of celebrities that parents will recognize. This is a great family movie complete with loveable characters, great music, and an interesting plot. Sure to be a hit with all ages!

I cry at the Rainbow Connection song!
This is the most sweetest and clever Muppet movie. I always cry at The Rainbow Connection song. Kermit is so sweet!

 
Not good for age 5.
I love this movie, but unfortunately I think the violence makes it appropriate for children older than just 5. The idea that people are eating frog legs can be scary (let alone disturbing) for Kermit-lovers. My daughter asked "are they going to cut his legs off". Also, the sharp-shooter that is hired to kill Kermit and the scene with 8-10 men with guns aimed at him were pretty violent, I thought. On another note, the whole "movie about a movie" plot is a little complex for this young age group too.

 
Fun movie
This is a fun movie to watch, although it portrays Hollywood as being a decent place. There are a few references to Hare Krishna, which are either there for historical hippie-era purposes or they're subliminal messages.(?)
