Kermit the Frog gathers the gang to celebrate fifty years of The Muppet Show, revisiting classic sketches, musical numbers and behind-the-scenes memories while reflecting on what made the Muppets such a cultural fixture in the first place.
It’s genuinely fantastic to see Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and the wider Muppet family (and newer characters) back together under one banner, celebrating half a century of felt, chaos and heart. Streaming on Disney+, the special leans heavily into nostalgia — and rightly so — reminding us just how sharp, anarchic and oddly sincere Jim Henson’s creations always were at their best.
There is, however, a slight caveat. Some of the voice work feels a little off, which is a shame given how many talented performers can replicate the originals almost spot-on. It never derails the experience, but longtime fans will notice the tonal shifts more than casual viewers.
That said, the warmth, humour and legacy carry it through. This is a loving tribute rather than a reinvention — a celebration of characters who still matter, still charm, and still know how to put on a show. For fans old and new, it’s a welcome reminder of why the Muppets endure.
