the year: 2011
the genre: muppets
the plot: with the help of three fans, The Muppets must reunite to save their old theater from a greedy oil tycoon. While it isn't my favorite Muppet movie, it's a nice tribute.
listen for: "Maniacal laugh... maniacal laugh... "
did you know: Kermit's difficulty in finding a guest star for the reunion show parallels the real life history of the Muppets. Until Rudolf Nureyev's appearance in the second season of The Muppet Show, it was very difficult for the producers to find celebrities willing to appear on the show.
extra bonus points: if you can name 8 people with cameo appearances.
