For old-skool Austinites, I saw this movie in the theater in 1984 at Northcross Mall. That summer my dad was living in Austin and the family in Spring, TX as we worked to move everyone to Austin for my father's new job. My thinking is that on one of our many trips to Austin to see The Admiral and check out the town and where we'd live, my folks took the evening and took me (9) and my brother (11) to see this movie.
Mostly I remember thinking the bits with Kermit in disguise as Hollywood and Broadway types were hysterical. I recognized a good number of the cameos at that point (Dabney Coleman, Brooke Shields, Linda Lavin, etc...) and it was good to see my old muppety pals again on screen.
That year I also picked up the official Marvel Comics adaptation, but it was released as a few issues, and I didn't get one of them. Still, they used exact dialog from scenes, went very cartoony, and so I know some very specific dialog from this movie from re-reading those comics over and over (the Penguins yelling "well, excuuuuuse me!", for example).
