The Muppets Take Manhattan

Kermit and the Muppets take their college musical to New York City, hoping to make it on Broadway. They face rejections and challenges, but their determination (and some classic Muppet antics) keeps their dreams alive. It’s a charming story about friendship, ambition, and finding your way in the big city.
