Kermit's Swamp Years is a 2002 American direct-to-video buddy road adventure film directed by David Gumpel and featuring The Muppets.

Young Kermit ventures beyond his swamp home for the first time, alongside friends Goggles and Croaker, all sharing an extraordinary adventure.

The friends run into two scientists, Dr. Hugo Krassman (John Hostetter) and Mary (Kelly Collins Lintz), who intend on capturing frogs.

The fight spills onto a road, where the pair are taken by a pet store owner named Wilson (William Bookston), and Kermit and Croaker venture forth on a quest to save their friends.

Meanwhile, the other animals at the store manage to convince Goggles and Blotch in a lively musical number that being sold to someone as a pet isn't such a bad idea.

Kermit and Croaker meet a stray dog named Pilgrim (voiced by Cree Summer), who saves them from Krassman and Mary, then decides to help them find their friends.

In a daring rescue, Kermit manages to free Croaker from the dissection table and fend off Krassman using some swashbuckling techniques he picked up earlier at a movie theater.

Joe the Armadillo (performed by Mazzarino) hosts the DVD behind-the-scenes featurette, interviewing various members of the production staff and crew.
