The Frog Prince (TV)

The Frog Prince (released on home video as Tales from Muppetland: The Frog Prince) is a 1971 special directed by Jim Henson. It is a retelling of the classic fairy tale of The Frog Prince featuring Kermit the Frog as the narrator, Kermit's nephew Robin as the Frog Prince, Sir Robin, and Sweetums, among others. This television special marked the debut of both Robin and Sweetums to the world of The Muppets. The Frog Prince is often claimed to be the first time that Kermit was specifically identified as a frog. However, the distinction actually dates back as far as 1968, even before his appearances on Sesame Street.
