Kermit's Swamp Years is a lacklustre direct to video film aimed at younger kids as older kids will find it too childish and boring. Adults will just find it lacking the wit and imagination of The Muppet Show.
The older Kermit returns to the swamp where he grew up after many years away and reminiscences on his younger days when he and his his frog friends Croaker and Goggles ventured out of the safety of the swamp into the outside world where they were hunted down by a biology teacher looking for frogs to dissect at school. Goggles is captured by a pet store owner and the other two with the help of a stray dog called Pilgrim who knows more about the outside world go to look for him.
The story has a hint of Toy Story films but without the charm. It just looks like a cheapo sequel with vary little care put into it and some not very good songs. You also of course miss the other Muppet characters, although you see a few variations of them. You do see younger versions of Waldolf and Statler though.
