♪ A little more green, cha-cha ♪

- Ooh, I love your drawing, Gonzo.

- Me too!

But why did you draw a muffin in outer space?

- Because this is no ordinary muffin.

It's a Gonzonian Moon Muffin.

- Moon Muffin? That sounds tasty.

- Oh, they're more than tasty, Rizzo.

Gonzonian Moon Muffins are

the most delisharrific muffins you'll ever have.

[all speaking at once] - I wanna try a moon muffin.

- Sweet gouda, I want one too.

- I don't know, guys. Making Moon Muffins

isn't exactly easy peasy pickle squeezy.

To make out-of-this-world muffins,

you need a lot of out-of-this-world ingredients.

Like Supernova Space Sugar from the mines of Sweetonia.

Meteor Milk from the Milky Way River.

And, of course, Bubble Berries from the Fizzy Soda Seas

of Planet Gonzo.

It would be a lot of work.

- Well, I'm sure we can get it all done if we work together.

[all speaking at once]

- Then what are we waiting for?

Let's get those ingredients.

[all cheer]

[heroic music]

- Okay, Gonzo.

What's our first stop?

- The Planet Sweetonia,

where we'll find the Supernova Space Sugar.

- Very well.

Animal, set a course for Sweetonia.

- Aye, aye, Captain Piggy.

- Behold, the sparkling mountains of Sweetonia.

The mines here have all the Supernova Space Sugar

we could ever want.

- Come on, crew. Let's beam down there and get that sugar.

- Icicles! It's beautiful.

- Grab one of those hammers, everyone.

We're gonna need 'em to get the sugar crystals out

of the cave walls.

- Then, come on, everybody. Let's get to work.

[all cheer]

- Ehh, this is a lotta work just to get some sugar.

- Rizzo, what are you doing?

We need your help mining for sugar.

If we get less than what we're supposed to,

we may not be able to make enough muffins for everyone.

- Nah, you all got this.

I'll just be up here, uh, supervising.

- Aww, okay.

- [yawns]

While they're taking care of that sugar,

I'll just catch me a little nap.

[grunts]

Come on.

Boy, this cave floor isn't exactly comfy.

Too bad there's nothing to put my head on.

Aha! That'll do.

[strained] Come on.

Rizzo. Needs. A. Pillow.

Haha!

[rumbling] Uh...

Maybe I'll take a nap later.

[yelps]

all: Huh?

- Grab the sugar!

It's a rock slide!

[all scream]

- Hang on, everyone!

all: Whew! - Sheesh!

Who knew trying to get settled for a nap

could cause a rock slide?

I--I mean, uh, boy that was close.

[chuckles nervously]

- Well, did we at least get enough sugar

for the Moon Muffins, Gonzo?

- There's only one way to find out. Follow me.

Allow me to present the Moon Muffin Meter.

When you pour an ingredient inside this bad boy,

it shows ya if you have enough

to make a full batch of muffins.

- Oh, no.

The sugar line didn't go all the way to the top.

- I guess we didn't get quite enough, but it's close.

We can probably still make enough muffins for everyone.

I think...

- All right, then.

Let's go get the next ingredient.

- There it is, folks. The Milky Way River.

Home of the creamiest Cosmic Milk you've ever tasted.

All we gotta do is use our jetpacks

to fly down and scoop it up in buckets.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Nobody said nothing about flying and scooping and stuff.

That sounds like a lotta work.

I'll wait on the ship, thank you very much.

- But, Rizzo,

we need everyone's help to get the milk.

We'll all have to make extra trips without you.

- Eh, you guys will be fine.

I'll stay here and keep an eye on the ship.

- [growls] Come on, everyone.

all: Whooaa!

- Whoa, oh, oh!

- [hums]

[upbeat music]

♪

- Aha! Whoo-hoo! Hehe!

- [laughs]

- Ooh, high score.

- Whew! Moon Muffins sure need a lot of milk.

[beeping]

- Moldy guacamole!

Our jetpacks are running out of fuel.

They're gonna shut down.

- Oh, no. It's 'cause we had to make

so many extra trips without Rizzo.

- But we can't stop.

We haven't gotten all da milk we need yet.

- There isn't time! Everyone, back to the ship!

[wails]

[beeping, then shuts down]

all: Whooaa!

- Um, Starship Piggy, we have a problem.

- Rizzo, my jetpack is out of fuel,

so I'll need yours to-- [gasps]

all: Whoooaaaa!

- Our friends are in trouble!

Moi has to save them!

- Yeah, yeah. Sounds good.

- Hang on.

Here I come.

[exclaims]

[gasps]

all: Whoooaaaa!

[all grunt]

all: Thanks, Piggy! - We really owe you one!

- Hey, are those Moon Muffins ready yet?

I'm starving.

Uh, what?

- I don't think we even have enough milk to make them.

- Only one way to find out.

- Fishsticks!

The milk line is short too.

- Well, maybe we can make up

for not having enough Sweetonian Sugar

and Cosmic Milk by adding a few extra Bubble Berries.

- All right, then. Where to next?

- Set course for the Fizzy Soda Seas of Planet Gonzo.

Hang on, everyone.

[all speaking at once]

- How come Gonzonian Bubble Berries are underwater, Gonzo?

- 'Cause they grow inside the shells of Gonzonian Clams

that sleep at the bottom of the ocean.

Okay, now we have to do this quietly.

You do not want to wake up a Gonzonian Clam from its nap.

- I don't know. Those berries look heavy.

I think I'm gonna sit this one out.

- Not again.

You didn't help us collect the sugar

and you didn't help us scoop up the Cosmic Milk.

- And now you're not gonna help us get Bubble Berries either?

- It's just, uh--

oh, someone's gotta stay on the sub

to keep an eye out for any sea monsters.

I got your backs.

- [sighs] All, right everyone.

Remember, nice and quiet.

[Gonzonian Clams snoring]

- Rizzo was right. [grunts]

These things are heavy.

- Hoo boy!

I can't wait for my muffin.

- One more berry oughta do it.

- Leave it to me.

Wait for it...

- Ugh! Leapin' limburger, what's he doing?

Reading that clam a bedtime story?

- Annnddd...got it.

- [over loudspeaker] Hello.

[all gasp] - Would you guys hurry up

so we can get to making muffins already?

I'm gettin' hungry here!

[Gonzonian Clams barking]

- Cheesy chalupa! They're awake.

Swim like the wind!

- [wails]

- Get away! Get away! [all yelp]

[all groan]

- Hey, guys. Good news.

I didn't see a single sea monster while youz were gone.

- Rizzo, you woke up the clams

and made Kermit drop the last Bubble Berry.

- Gonzo, do you think we have enough to make the muffins?

- Hmm. The Bubble Berry Meter is not full either,

but we did get a lot.

- You heard the man. We got a lot.

So let's go bake some muffins.

- Oh, Rizzo. One does not simply bake Moon Muffins.

- You don't? - To give their outsides

that special crunchalicious crunch,

ya gotta fire-roast 'em in Mount Schnoz,

the biggest volcano on Planet Gonzo!

all: Wow! - Wow! The volcano big.

- All we gotta do is take all the ingredients

we collected in here

and throw them into the volcano.

- Wait for it.

Here they come!

[all gasp]

[all cheer]

- Sweet cheddah, this looks even more delicious up close.

- But how come I didn't get one?

- Uh-oh. I guess we didn't get enough ingredients after all.

- But that's not fair.

Summer worked just as hard as the rest of us.

Mining the sugar and collecting the milk,

getting the Bubble Berries from the clams.

Here, Summer. Take my muffin.

- Or you could have mine. We could share it.

- Here, Summer. I'll share mine.

- Wait. She should take mine.

You all worked really hard getting the ingredients

for these muffins, and I didn't do my share.

I'm sorry. - Aww, thanks, Rizzo.

But I don't want to eat this unless we all have a muffin.

- Really?

all: Yeah.

- We'll just have to go back

and get the ingredients for one more.

- Aww. Thanks, everyone.

But last time, you all did everything.

This time, I'm gonna put in the hard work.

[upbeat music]

♪

[all cheer]

- [giggles] Finally!

- Toldja these Moon Muffins would be worth it.

- And they're gonna taste even better

knowing that I did my fair share to help make 'em.

- I'll say! - Mm-hmm.

[munching loudly]

- Hey! - Whoa!

- Whoops! [chuckles nervously]

I forgot to tell you, that happens sometimes

when you eat Moon Muffins.

But it'll wear off... uh, eventually.

both: Gonzo!

[laughter]

both: "Muppet Newsflash."

[all speaking at once]

- Your turn, Kermit.

- Hey, guys.

You aren't going to believe this.

I heard my mom talking to our neighbor,

and he says he's growing a watermelon as big as a house.

[all speaking at once]

- Well, Fozzie, I'm sure your neighbor

doesn't really have a watermelon as big as a house.

It sounds like he was just exaggerating.

- Exact-a-rating? What's that?

- Exaggerating is when you say something is bigger

or more exciting than it really is.

- So there isn't a watermelon as big as a house?

- I'm afraid not.

But actually, I did just see a news reporter

talking about a very big pumpkin.

I bet you'd like that story.

Let's watch it on the scribble screen.

- Ooh, I wanna hear a story too!

Does the pumpkin turn into a princess, Miss Nanny?

- And have beautiful magic shoes?

- Oh, sorry, everyone.

News reporters don't tell those kinds of stories.

Their stories are about all the interesting things

that go on in the real world.

Here, watch.

- Good afternoon, and welcome to "Muppet News."

This just in: The Biggest Fruit Contest

at the Muppetopolis County Fair was won by a pumpkin.

Let's go to Reporter Bob for the story.

- That's right.

You may say it squashed the competition.

[laughs] Get it?

'Cause a pumpkin is a kind of squash.

- That was a gourd one, Bob.

Huh, gourd? [laughter]

And now, let's take a look at the weather report.

- Now, I better get things ready

for the "Snack O'clock News."

[laughter]

- Everyone, moi just had the most fabulous idea:

I'm going to start my very own news show!

- You're in luck. because I know some really big news

that you can tell people:

Later today, I, Gonzo the Great,

will be performing my new stupendarrific stunt

right in our backyard.

- Ooh, that's perfect.

Moi I am sure it will be the biggest

and most important news story of the whole show.

Now, all I need are some reporters.

- Ooh, I wanna be a reporter.

- Can I be one? - Of course.

- So which one of you is gonna cover my amazariffic stunt?

both: I will! - Uh-oh.

- I don't think we can both cover the story.

- How do we decide who gets it? - I know.

Kermie and Summer can each find some news to report,

and whoever's news is the best

will do the big story about Gonzo's stunt.

- Then what are we waiting for? Let's get reporting.

[all cheer]

[dramatic music]

- Welcome to "Muppet News."

Our team of fabulous reporters

are ready to share some very exciting stories.

First up, let's hear from Kermie at the chicken coop.

- Hi-ho! Kermit the Frog here

with some very important news about Camilla and the Chicks.

Camilla, what are you eating for breakfast this morning?

- Ba'gluck.

- You heard it here first, folks:

the chicks are eating chicken feed!

Back to you, Piggy. - Thanks, Kermie.

Now, let's check-in with our other reporter, Summer.

- Hi, Piggy. I'm here on the backyard stage,

where Fozzie Bear is practicing his latest joke.

I'm sure our audience would love to hear it, Fozzie.

- W--why do eggs make the best audience?

'Cause whatever you say, they crack up!

Huh? [laughter]

Wocka wocka!

- [giggles] Good one.

- [chuckles] That was really funny.

- ♪ Gonna do my stunt, cha-cha ♪

♪ Gonna do my stunt, boom-bah

- Uh-oh. If I don't come up

with some more exciting news to report,

Summer will get to do the story about Gonzo's big stunt.

I better find something fast.

- Let's go now to Kermie

who has another great news story for us.

- That's right, Piggy. I just learned

that Sweetums has written a neat, new rock song.

Let's give it a listen.

- ♪ Dooby-doo-doo, dooby-doo

♪ I like rocks

♪ Yes, I do

♪ Dooby-doo

♪

- Wow, Kermit's report was so good.

- ♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

♪ Doing a stunt, ooh, ooh

- I better find some news that's a lot more exciting

if I'm gonna convince Piggy

to let me be the reporter for Gonzo's stunt.

- Well, folks, it sounds like Sweetums really likes rocks.

Ooh, this just in:

Summer has some even bigger news to tell us.

- That's right, Piggy.

I'm bringing you the very first lunch report on "Muppet News."

Mr. Statler and Mr. Waldorf, tell us, how is your lunch?

- [munches loudly]

Well, Summer, it isn't half-bad.

- Nope. It's all bad.

[laughter]

- Wow, that was even better than Summer's last story.

I gotta find something more exciting.

- [snoring]

- [whimpers] But there's nothing exciting going on.

Unless I pretend a smaller story is bigger than it is.

I'm sure just a little exaggeration wouldn't hurt.

- This is a "Muppet News Flash."

Kermie is at the bouncy pond with some very exciting news.

- Thanks, Piggy. I'm here with Sam the Eagle,

who I just learned is about to catch

the biggest fish in the whole world!

- I am?! Oh, my.

This is not the biggest fish in the world.

- What?! Uh no, you're right, 'cause it's even better.

Look, it's a whale.

- Hi, Mom.

- Now that's what I call a big story.

- Thanks, Piggy. This is your friendly reporter,

Kermit the Frog, signing off.

- Kermit, I did not catch a whale.

All I caught was this tiny-- - Sorry, can't talk.

So many exciting news stories, so little time.

[chuckles]

[panting]

- Icicles, Kermit's got lots of exciting stories.

[sighs] If only I had something great to report.

But there's nothin' going on

except for Animal playing in the sandbox.

Unless I exaggerate just a tiny bit

to make things more interesting.

Reporter Summer here on the scene.

Animal has found buried treasure.

- Huh?

Animal just found lunchbox.

I buried it here yesterday.

- No, no, no, Animal.

You found something way more special than a lunchbox.

Look. - Ah! What's happening?

- Inside this chest, you found lots and lots of treasure.

- Ooh, treasure. How fabulous.

- That's right. Treasure and a pirate ship.

- [gasps]

- Wow! Summer that story was

even more fabulous than fabulous.

- Thanks, Piggy.

This is Summer Penguin, until next time.

- Oh, no. That story was really exciting, and--

[gasps] Gonzo's getting ready.

I better hurry.

[panting]

- Looks like Kermit's off to report another great story.

Now I've gotta come up with something better too.

- Hey, dis not treasure.

This grilled cheese.

But just as good. [munches loudly]

- Big news, everyone.

Fozzie is going to juggle 50 kickballs.

- 50? Ahh!

- As you can see, Chef's making a million muffins.

- Million?!

Oh, no!

- And, look, Animal is riding his brand-new woolly mammoth.

- Breaking news!

Two giants are stomping through the city.

[stomping] - Whoooaaaa!

[hearty laughter]

- Wow, those are some very big stories.

It's almost hard to believe they're all true.

Hmm...

Coming up, our biggest story of the day.

Gonzo's newest stunt.

But first, the weather.

- Oh, boy, do I have a perfect weather report for you.

- No, wait, Piggy. I have the best weather report.

- Today's weather report is cloudy

with a chance of rubber chickens.

[rubber chickens squeaking]

- And don't forget your sneakers

because it's also raining soccer balls.

[thunder rumbling]

[all yelp] - Run!

- But wait, bigger news.

There's a pickle tornado coming.

- Whoa! - Yes!

all: Whoa!

- But never mind that. I'm here to report

that this isn't a pickle tornado.

It's an alien invasion.

[warbling]

all: Whoa!

- No, it's a pickle tornado.

[all scream]

- Alien invasion.

[warbling]

- Pickle tornado.

- Alien invasion.

- What is going on out there?

- Pickle.

- Alien.

- Tornado.

- Invasion.

- Tornado. - Invasion.

- Stop the presses!

None of these stories are true.

[all scream, then grunt]

Kermit and Summer have been exaggerating so much

that they are telling lies.

- I can't believe it. - That's awful.

- I guess I did get a little carried away.

- Me too. I just wanted to be as good a reporter as Kermit

and have a chance to report on Gonzo's stunt.

- Summer, I wanted to be as good a news reporter as you,

so I exaggerated my stories.

But pretending things are bigger or more exciting

than they are really is the same as lying, isn't it?

- Yeah, and it's not okay to lie,

especially to your friends.

both: We're sorry, everyone.

all: Aww! - Group hug.

- You know what's even better than not telling lies?

My amazarrific stunt.

And we still don't know who's gonna report on it.

- Of course, I do.

Summer's reporting was fabulous,

but so was Kermie's.

So the very best reporter for the job is...

both of them, together.

- All right! - Friendship!

both: Aw!

- This is Summer Penguin.

- And Kermit the Frog.

So, Gonzo, tell us about your newest stunt.

Are you going to fly around the moon?

- Nope.

- Are you gonna surf on an ocean of sauerkraut?

- Nope. I'm gonna fire out of a cannon

and do somersaults all the way to the pool!

Are ya ready?

- You bet! - Yeah!

- Ba'gluck.

- Gonzo's out of the cannon. - Ooh!

- And he's somersaulting all the way across the playground.

- And what's this?

He's going around the tree?!

- And heading for the pool.

- Will he make it?

- [groans] Hiyah!

Ha-cha! Haha! [both cheer]

[all cheering]

- Hoo boy, I'm even more stuntastic than I thought.

both: And that's no exaggeration.
