Muppet Babies (Seasons 1–7)

Muppet Babies (1984) is Jim Henson's animated children's series, and you can watch online on iFILM. This time the famous Muppets are toddlers: baby Kermit, bossy little Piggy, oddball Gonzo, sweet Fozzie and the rest share one giant nursery, looked after by the ever-patient Nanny.

The moment Nanny steps out, the playroom becomes a pirate ship, a rocket launch or a deep jungle. The babies have almost nothing but their imaginations, and that turns out to be plenty — each episode tumbles them into whatever world they can dream up. Frank Welker, Russi Taylor and Greg Berg lead the voice cast, with Howie Mandel, Dave Coulier and a young Whoopi Goldberg dropping in along the way.

The show ran from 1984 to 1991, picked up a shelf of Daytime Emmy wins for animation, and taught a generation of kids that imagination is the best toy in the house. Cozy nostalgia for parents, a gentle adventure for the very young. Stream Muppet Babies (1984) online on iFILM.
