The Great Muppet Caper [G]

After London’s fashion queen, Lady Holiday, is robbed, investigative reporters Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo fly to London to interview her for their paper. After the trio arrive in London, another jewel robbery takes place and Miss Piggy is framed for it. While everyone’s attention is on arresting Piggy, Gonzo manages to hear the real criminals’ plan to steal Lady Holiday’s prized possession: the fabulous Baseball Diamond. So, to clear Miss Piggy’s name, Kermit and all his friends plan to catch the real thieves red-handed. 

Filled with action, excitement, romance, villainy, comedy, and all new songs, The Great Muppet Caper is my third favourite Muppet movie. 

Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo are investigative reporters who set off for London when England’s fashion queen, Lady Holiday, has her jewels stolen. But upon arriving in London to interview Lady Holiday, Kermit mistakes Miss Piggy for the fashion designer and invites her to dinner to discuss the robbery. As fate would have it, Lady Holiday appears at the same restaurant where another robbery takes place, one that Miss Piggy is framed for. As luck would have it, Gonzo manages to get a picture of the real criminals and overhears their plan to steal Lady Holiday’s most prized possession: the Fabulous Baseball Diamond. So it’s up to Kermit and his friends to catch the real criminals and prove Piggy’s innocence, but unfortunately the odds are against them. 

With a simple and exciting story as its backbone, The Great Muppet Caper is a classic Muppet movie filled with comedy, all new songs, and heaps of celebrity guest stars including Charles Grodin, John Cleese, Joan Sanderson, Peter Ustinov, and Diana Rigg. 

Packed with jokes, familiar faces, romance, excitement, and heaps of coincidences, The Great Muppet Caper is a fun family film and my third favourite Muppet movie.
