Muppets to the City

The Muppets Take Broadway is a 2020 American musical comedy film directed by James Bobin and Kirk Thatcher and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It stars The Muppets, in their first theatrical film since 2014's Muppets Most Wanted, along Sam Rockwell. It's also the first Muppet film made after the departure of Steve Whitmire, who was fired from The Muppets Studio in 2016.

In a plot somewhat similar to 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan, the Muppets travel to New York to stage one last ''Muppet Show. ''Unbeknownst to them, an enemy from Kermit's past returns with avengeance, and it's up to the frog and his friends to put a stop to him once and for all. Along the way, the Muppets reunite with several friends from their past, including several retired characters from The Muppet Show, several characters from Muppets Tonight, Kermit's old friends from Sam and Friends, the cast of The Jim Henson Hour, Kermit's childhood friends from Kermit's Swamp Years, and even Scooter's twin sister Skeeter from Muppet Babies (in her first official appearance in puppet form, and as an adult). Meanwhile, the original Muppet Show sign has gone missing, and it's up to a search party of Muppets (including Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, Walter and, reluctantly, Miss Piggy) to find it before it's curtains up on the show. Will they find the sign in time?

The film was released in the United States on September 24, 2020 (Jim Henson's 84th birthday) and received positive reviews from critics, praising the characterization and family appeal of the Muppets, the return of several classic Muppets, the film's nostalgic feel, the featured songs, acts and jokes, the Muppeteers' performances, and Rockwell's turn as Doc Hopper, though most criticised the six-year gap between this film and ''Muppets Most Wanted. ''It also raised over $300 million against a $70 million budget.
