The Muppet Movie
65Worth an evening.
He leaves the swamp to sing, and a restaurant would sell him as frogs' legs.
The review
Kermit leaves the swamp for two reasons that sit side by side. A man heard him sing. A restaurant wants him as the advertisement for frogs' legs. He collects friends on the road to a studio. One motive is a gift. The other is a person turned into a product. The villain does not think those are different.
I would sing along and still say the second part out loud. The trip is cheerful. The threat should not get smoothed into a silly bad guy. The friends keep the road from being a solo errand. The music lasted because it was theirs. Do not let the sweetness erase what that restaurant was trying to buy.

The glance
Household is the thin one.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
