Claim: The Jim Henson Company was the producer of a movie featuring the Muppets.
Evidence: The company has also produced many films , including The Muppet Movie , The Dark Crystal , and Labyrinth.
An American and British venture produced by Henson Associates and ITC Entertainment between the first half and the second half of the third season of The Muppet Show , the film depicts Kermit the Frog as he embarks on a cross-country trip to Hollywood , California.
Along the way , he encounters several of the Muppets -- who all share the same ambition of finding success in professional show business -- while being pursued by Doc Hopper , an evil restaurateur with intentions of employing Kermit as a spokesperson for his frog legs business.
