The Muppets' roots as a theater troupe essentially mean that both Muppet Treasure Island and the following film The Muppet Christmas Carol are essentially performances put on by the Muppets. Muppet Treasure Island story would be the furthest set in the past with the story taking place in the 18th century so, in chronological terms, it would be the ...
Moving up next by a whole century would be The Muppet Christmas Carol, with the various Muppet characters bringing the classic Charles Dickens Christmas story to life. The central human Ebenezer Scrooge is played by Michael Caine, with the primary Muppets at the center being Gonzo and Rizzo as the story's narrator. Despite featuring a cast of Muppe...
The first movie The Muppets ever starred in and acting as an origin story for how the group came together, The Muppet Movie focuses on Kermit the Frog traveling from the swamp to Los Angeles, and meeting many of the Muppets on the road.

Unlike Kermit, Fozzy, and many others who are clearly animals or some form of a human, Gonzo has always been ...

The movie was based around the idea of the characters as a pop culture institution, with new character Walter and his brother Gary (Jason Segel, who also was the film's writer) deciding they needed to reunite the group to put on a show to save the old Muppet...
The latest Muppet film is 2014's Muppets Most Wanted. Muppets Most Wanted is the most direct sequel the franchise has ever had, even picking up directly as 2011's The Muppetsend.
