Aug 25, 2020 Tonight's Viewing: "Kermit's Swamp Years". A Direct-To-Video Buddy Comedy-Drama & Road Adventure Prequel To "The Muppet Movie" (1979), It's Basically A Story About Kermit The Frog's Childhood Life In The Swamp. One Day, 2 Of Kermit's Friends, Goggles The Toad & Blotch The Bullfrog Get Frog-Napped By A Pet Store Owner, Who Gives Them To A Crazy High School Biology Teacher For Dissection. So Kermit & His Froggie Friend Croaker Leave Their Boggy Home & Set Out With The Company Of A New Friend, A Stray Dog Named Pilgrim (Voiced By Character Actress Cree Summers; Suzie Carmichael In Nickelodeon's "Rugrats"/Penny In The 1980s Animated TV Show "Inspector Gadget"), To Save The Other 2 Amphibians. Now 1st Off, It's Based On The Muppets. I Love The Muppets, I Mean, Who Doesn't? Yet As The Execution Of It All Is, It's Basically A 'We Gotta Save Our Friends!' Type Of Kids' Movie. The Puppetry, Or 'Muppet-try', Is Fantastic As Usual, The Story Is Basic & Harmless, The Songs Are Okay But Forgettable, & There Are Some Legit Funny Jokes & Moments, Etc. But The 'Follow-My-Star' Element Is Pointlessly Clichéd As A Morale Of Any Type, & It Really Isn't Until Near The Climax With The Mad Biology Teacher When Things Seem Ridiculously Weird. Speaking Of Which, I'm Sure He Was A Good Actor. But His Performance In This Muppet Movie Is So Over-The-Top But It's So Unneeded. I'm Sorry But His Acting Is Bad Here. I Mean, COM'ON! It's Like The Case With Paul Freeman As Ivan Ooze In "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" (1995); He Acts Like He's Someone Like Christopher Lloyd, & He's NOT Christopher Lloyd. Anyway, Even Though Things Get Weird & Weak By The Climax & There Are Some Things That Could Raise Questions From A Review Standpoint Of Some Sort, "Kermit's Swamp Years" Is Not Doing Any Wrong. It's What You'd Expect It To Be: Just A Popcorn Family Film/Kids' Film. Not Much To Say Really? It's Okay To Give It A Viewing.
