JIM HENSON'S "MUPPET BABIES": RAIDERS OF THE LOST MUPPETS (TV)
Summary
One in this series of animated children's programs featuring the Muppet Babies, characters based on Jim Henson's Muppets. In this episode, the Muppet Babies let their imaginations lead them on wild adventures when they leave their nursery to look for Animal, who disappeared while the others were playing a game of hide-and-seek. Worried that Nanny will discover that Animal is missing, the Muppets split into two groups to try to find him before lunchtime. Like the film hero Indiana Jones, Kermit -- as Indiana Frog -- leads Fozzie and Piggy into thrilling adventures while they search for Animal in the basement. Meanwhile, Gonzo and the others enter a wild jungle and decide to send Animal a musical message to let him know that they are looking for him. Commercials deleted.
