There’s no denying the fact that The Muppet Movie is a movie. Many people have seen and enjoyed The Muppet Movie, starring Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, the Great Gonzo, and other beloved Muppets, since its original release in 1979.
But have you ever wondered about the ending of The Muppet Movie? Well, fortunately for you, we could use a little boost in our SEO numbers, so I’m here today to explain the ending of The Muppet Movie. Read on!
Oh wait, I should also mention Jim Henson for SEO purposes. There, that’s done. Now, here’s the ending of The Muppet Movie explained!
At the end of the movie, Sweetums bursts through the screen in a movie theater full of Muppets and shouts “I just knew I’d catch up with you guys!” Then the end credits roll. And that’s the ending of The Muppet Movie explained.
Oh, are you still confused? Well, maybe this will help: Earlier in the movie, Kermit invites Sweetums to travel to Hollywood with him and his friends. When Sweetums runs away to get his luggage (which probably smells), they think he doesn’t want to come to Hollywood so they drive away and he chases after them.
Do you need more? Okay: In The Muppet Movie, Kermit the Frog leaves the swamp and travels across the country to become a star in Hollywood. Along the way, he meets a bunch of other Muppets and they all ride together in a Studebaker, then a station wagon, then a bus.
Should I clarify further? No problem! A bus is a big vehicle without seatbelts. Studebaker was a company that made cars back in old-timey days (the company was named after somebody named Studebaker). A station wagon is a type of car that families used to drive in on trips to Carlsbad Caverns.
Would you like additional information? Sure! Carlsbad Caverns is a really big cave in New Mexico. It’s like Fraggle Rock, but there are no Fraggles or Doozers there (which is why I only gave it three stars on TripAdvisor). It has a bunch of big rock thingies that are shaped like other thingies, and some stalactites and stalagmites.
So let me expand on that a little. A stalactite is a pointy thing in a cave that hangs down from the ceiling. A stalagmite is a pointy thing in a cave that sticks up from the ground. You can remember which is which because a stalactite hangs on tight from the top of the cave, and if you’re walking around in the cave you might trip over a stalagmite. That’s a good mnemonic device!
Not clear on that? I got you covered. A mnemonic device is a cute little memory trick that you can use to remember a piece of information that would otherwise be tricky to remember. If anyone ever asks you to spell it (like on the episode of the ‘90s sitcom Full House when Stephanie Tanner was in a spelling bee), make sure you remember that the first letter of the word is “m!”
Still a little fuzzy? Not to worry! Here’s the deal: The letter “m” is the thirteenth letter of the modern English alphabet. As Wikipedia tells us, it was “derived from the Phoenician Mem via the Greek Mu”. As a Roman numeral, M means 1,000. If you’re using Roman numerals to write out years, M is the year 1000, MM is the year 2000, and MCMLXXIX is the year 1979.
More info on that? You got it. 1979 was the year The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was published. It was also the year Atari released Asteroids, the year Jordan Peele was born, and the year Jimmy Carter was attacked by a crazed swamp rabbit. And it was the year The Muppet Movie premiered.
Would more details be helpful? Well, it’s like this: The Muppet Movie is the first feature film about the Muppets. It’s about Kermit the Frog and his friends traveling to Hollywood to become stars and make a movie. At the end, Sweetums bursts through the screen in a movie theater and shouts “I just knew I’d catch up with you guys!” Then the end credits roll.
And THAT’S the ending of The Muppet Movie explained!
Thanks for reading! This is gonna make our SEO numbers smash through the roof! Just like Sweetums smashing through the screen! And hey, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!
