He's packaging a blockbuster.

Look! It's wonderful!

Like a dream come true.

Don't count your tadpoles until they're

hatched. I still have to audition.

Hey, ain't nothin' to it

but to do it.

And where do you think

you're going?

Hi, there!

I'm going to audition for Lew Lord.

You can't just walk in here

off the street, you know.

Especially not with

all these animals.

Animals?

What's wrong with animals?

This is a movie studio,

not a zoo!

Besides--

I'm allergic to animal hair.

Now, get along, all of you.

Now, wait a second.

See here, miss.

I may not be one of your fancy

Hollywood frogs, but I deserve a chance.

We're going to stay here until you let

us in to see Lew Lord, aren't we, gang?

Yes! Yes!

- Yeah, come on!

- We're gonna sit right down and wait.

Shake! Shake, everyone!

- That's it!

- Go get 'em, man!

Allergies are nothing

to sneeze at.

I'm allergic to cats, myself.

Okay, way to go, guys!

Thanks, miss.

Well, friends...

Mr. Lord? Forgive the interruption,

but I'm here to audition.

Yes, yes.

We've come over 2,000 miles just--

Oh, boy.

We're all with you.

Please, sir, my name is Kermit the Frog,

and we read your ad...

and, well, we've come

to be rich and famous.

Miss Tracy...

'' Rich and Famous'' contract...

for Kermit the Frog and company.

How did a frog

make the big time?

It starts when we're kids.

A show-off at school

Makin'faces at friends

You're a clown and a fool

Doin'pratfalls and birdcalls

and bad imitations

Ignoring your homework

There's that dedication

Working the mirror

You're getting standing ovations

You're burning with hope

You're building up steam

What was once ''juvenile-ish''

is grown up and stylish

You're close to your dream

If somebody out there loves you

- Stands up and hollers for more

- More!

You've found a home

at the magic store

All right, everybody,

-Fozzie, take those wagons out of there.

Yes, sir. I'm off.

Scenery over there. Great.

Moving right along. Hey!

Hey, those are

the trees for the swamp.

Mellow and profitable.

Songs about rainbows

That's part of what rainbows do

Rainbows are memories

Sweet dream reminders

Of what is it

All of us watching and wishing

We'd find it

I've noticed

Someday you'll find it

The rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers and

Life's like a movie

Write your own ending

Keep believing

Keep pretending

We've done just what

we set out to do

Thanks to the lovers

The dreamers

Go home! Go home!

Bye-bye.
