The Muppets

The Muppets Guía y cronología

Kermit wants to get the show on, Miss Piggy wants her moment, and everyone else seems to have brought a fresh complication. The Muppets turn that backstage disorder into songs, jokes and occasional sincerity. Their films and television series let the same personalities play many roles without needing one strict shared history.

Kermit and the others play different roles from one production to another. There is no need to reconcile every origin story, stage show and literary adaptation into one biography.

Overview & recommendation

Kermit is trying to hold everything together, even when the acts, stars and scenery seem determined to fall apart. The Muppets make that struggle funny through music, backstage arguments and characters who care about their improbable show.

The films give the gang room for road trips, mysteries and reunions. Television returns to performance and workplace comedy in several forms. Christmas Carol and Treasure Island cast the Muppets in familiar stories, while Mayhem turns its attention to the band; your preferred kind of comedy matters more than a strict timeline.

Try The Muppet Movie or an episode of The Muppet Show first. Continue through the films if you like the ensemble adventures, or browse television for more performance comedy. Keep The Muppets (2011) before Muppets Most Wanted when watching that film pair.
