People today might not understand the impact of this movie, as it was much more than just a children's movie.

As kids, we saw muppets in "Sesame Street". As we got older, we saw them in "The Muppet Show". But this was the first time we got to see the muppets on a big screen. The humor of the TV show was still there, and they would throw in references that only the adults would understand. A pig and a frog falling in love? Awwww. "Rainbow Connection" was along the lines of "Green" in terms of what this life had to offer. "Green" was about being different, and that being different was okay. "Rainbow Connection" was innocent and simple. Just like "The Wizard Of Oz", it was always dreaming about seeing a rainbow and wondering what was on the other side. Maybe there's some good at the end of the rainbow, and maybe it's a place where no one complains or dies. In a children's film, Kermit The Frog says that in life we have to keep on hoping and dreaming, even when those dreams fade away:

Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

"Great album, and so good to hear labels like yourselves releasing the music you totally believe in, respect. Love the Flevans piano roller, and John Book's party breaks." -LTJ Bukem
