One
Frog. One Planet. Fifty Years. Put them together and you have the
hoppiest celebration on Earth. To honor the 50th anniversary of
his meteoric rise from the swamp to international icon, The Muppets
Holding Company today announced that Kermit the Frog is taking his
celebration on the road with a whirlwind tour of 50 destinations
around the globe. The world's most beloved frog will kick off his
worldwide adventure on October 14 in the aptly named town of Kermit,
Texas.
Through
the end of 2006, Kermit will meet fans and participate in major
events, visit famous attractions, and enjoy local celebrations in
50 destinations, touching down in numerous countries across four
continents. The globe-hopping star will see renowned monuments such
as the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and the Great Wall of
China, among others. Our ever-youthful frog will touch down at NASA's
Johnson Space Center, brave a Frog Leg Festival in Fellsmere, Fla.,
as well as run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Other activities
will include a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland, a performance with
the Rockettes and Kermit's first-ever USO appearance, where he'll
bring a smile to service men and women abroad.
