Line 2:
The last of the original trilogy of [[The Muppets|Muppet]] feature films made by [[Jim Henson]], released in 1984. It was also Frank Oz's directorial debut.
 
Another take on the origins of the Muppets, this has them having all known each other during college, making a musical show together called "Manhattan Melodies" and upon graduation, they decide to go to New York City and try to put the show on Broadway rather then just split apart. But with countless failures in trying to sell the show, the group splits apart and go to different parts of the country while Kermit gets a job at a diner and still tries pursuing the dream of getting the show produced. Just as he succeeds and calls all the others back though, he is hit by a car, goes missing and gains a case of amnesia and starts to work in advertising slogans. With the show a week away, the Muppets have to try and find him or try pressing on without him.
 
One of the musical numbers, featuring baby versions of some of the characters became ''[[Muppet Babies]]'' and helped to kick-off the whole [[Spinoff Babies]] craze.
