Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kermit's Swamp Years is a 2002 Direct-to-DVD movie that serves as a prequel of sorts to The Muppet Movie, following Kermit's years of living in the swamp in Mississippi before he decided to travel to Hollywood.It opens in the present day with Kermit moving right along on his motor-scooter to visit his old family in the swamp, and then he starts to narrate his tale to the audience of one particular adventure he got involved in when he was only a boy. He had two playmates, Goggles, a nervous, cowardly toad with glasses, and Croaker, a smooth, confident frog. Said adventure involved a confrontation with two human frog hunters, Goggles getting frog-napped, a dog named Pilgrim, and an ordeal through a pet shop, through downtown, and climaxing in a high school classroom where they dissect frogs!It is produced by Columbia-TriStar Home Entertainment and Jim Henson Home Entertainment. Even though it is not as popular as most of the other Muppet films, it contains various mythology gags and nods to Jim Henson's legacy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Anachronism Stew: Considering this movie is supposed to detail Kermit's youth, the movie, ideally, would take place no earlier than the early 50s... however, a lot of Croaker's dialogue consists of slang and terminology that was far more common of The '90s and Turn of the Millennium ("Boy, do I have issues!", "I'm not worried, I'm psyched!"). Similarly, when we arrive at George Washington High School, the students are clearly working from modern-day, full-colored text books, and are seen wearing or rolling backpacks, when they would more than likely have books that look like small, jacketless, hardback books bounded together with leather straps.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Touch-tone phones are seen throughout the movie, however, those weren't invented until The '60s, they would have been rotary phones. | |

Advertised Extra: Arnie only has one scene in the film (where he explains that animals should never talk to humans), and yet he's featured on the cover of most video releases. | |

Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Much like his adult counterpart, Kermit's only article of clothing is a green collar around his neck. Goggles' only article of clothing is a pair of glasses. | |

Come to think of it, the movie appears to have taken place more or less in The '70s, rather than The '50s, and that too would have been anachronistic, considering not only did The Muppet Show - hosted by Kermit - premiered in 1976, but Kermit was already appearing regularly on Sesame Street in 1969, and even making appearances with other Muppet characters on The Ed Sullivan Show throughout The '60s. | |
