I hate to get all Judith Butler-y in what is essentially “30 of the Disney Corporation’s Legal Properties, Ranked,” but the Muppets have a serious gender issue.

And hey, that’s probably an angrier reaction than is strictly warranted, but Kermit also knows a thing or two about anger, because his outbursts have led to some of the funniest moments in the Muppets Cinematic Universe. But sometimes I just can’t help thinking, If this frog does that stupid Jim Halpert face to the camera one more time, I’m gonna drop-kick him back to the swamp. All of which are beautiful symphonies that speak to the most frigid-hearted among us, myself included.
His most popular songs are essentially him pining about rainbows, or being green, or pictures in his head. All that pressure is enough to make any Muppet a little bit emo, and Kermit is no exception. He’s ostensibly the show’s leader, straight man, and moral center. Look, the Muppets wouldn’t be the Muppets without Kermit.

MUPPETS BEAKER MOVIE
However it wasn’t until 1979, when The Muppet Movie came out, that the Muppets became a household name, and until recently many people associated the Muppets primarily with their feature films and television specials. Equally silly, satirical, and sentimental, the Muppets’ road to stardom started as humbly as any other traveling show: making their way through the late-night circuit before landing their own series, aptly titled The Muppet Show. The Muppets, the troupe of musical felted friends created by Jim Henson, is one of those rare institutions that continuously finds cultural relevance. Somewhere between these two quotes lies the magic of the Muppets. Photo-Illustration: Vulture Photos: Getty Images, Courtesy of Disney+
