I have to say, I adore this film! I love everything about it, particularly the music. A true gem! Bien fait, Damien!

Beautiful and ever so slightly sad, I'm always amazed at the pathos and personality that can be imbued in animated characters by skilled craftsmen. The feeling of unfailing optimism and lack of comprehension of the concept of death for these little fellas is almost heartbreaking.Overtime is a lovely thing.

Absolutely loved it
  - it would have been nice to have seen a mixture of live action with the fella instead of cg.. but nonetheless class.

Jim Heston, the creator of the Muppets has passed away, and mourning his death are an army of his most famous creation, Kermit The Frog. As the frogs assemble around their diseased maker they celebrate his life by keeping him alive as a large puppet for one last party. A beautiful and well made film that keeps on astonishing its viewers.
