About The Muppets Go to the Movies

Directed by Peter Harris, The Muppets Go to the Movies leans on a strong ensemble — Dudley Moore, Lily Tomlin, Jim Henson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 1981.
