'The Muppet Movie’ Added to the 2024 Slate of Fathom’s Big Screen Classics

The Muppet Movie Presented by Fathom Events
Fathom Events’ Big Screen Classics announces the addition of “The Muppet Movie” to the 2024 film series line-up.  The beloved movie returns to celebrate its 45th anniversary in theaters nationwide on Sunday, June 2 at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm local time, and Monday, June 3 at 7:00 pm local time.

Following massive global success with the television hit “The Muppet Show,” which at its height aired in more than 100 countries around the world, Muppets creator Jim Henson took a huge creative risk to have the characters star in their first motion picture. The result, “The Muppet Movie,” directed by James Frawley, proved to be an enormous box-office hit. The film also charmed critics and received an Academy Award® nomination for “The Rainbow Connection,” the film’s iconic theme song with music and lyrics by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher.

The film stars Kermit (performed by Henson), Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear (performed by Frank Oz), Gonzo (performed by Dave Goelz) and his chicken Camilla (performed by Jerry Nelson), Scooter (performed by Richard Hunt), and Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem as they embark on a road trip to Hollywood where fame and fortune beckons, driven only by hope, dreams and a wisecracking bear.
