Editor's Notes

  • #16 1. “The Rainbow Connector” is a song written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher for the film “The Muppet Movie.” 2. “The Muppet Movie”is a 1979 musical road comedy-adventure film and the first theatrical film featuring the Muppets. 3. In the film, it is sung by Kermit the Frog as the muppet set out to find adventure. *After a fateful meeting with a big-time talent agent, Kermit the Frog heads for Hollywood dreaming of showbiz. Along the way, Fozzie Bear, the Great Gonzo, and the dazzling Miss Piggy join him in hopes of becoming film stars too. But all bets are off when Kermit falls into the clutches of Doc Hopper, a fast-food mogul seeking to promote his French-fried frog-leg franchise!
