Highest-grossing puppet movie

Debuting on television in the 1950s, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppets have had a long and successful career, which has included eight theatrical releases and two TV movies. The most successful to date in terms of box-office sales is 2011 Disney revamp The Muppets, which had grossed $160,971,922 (£101,206,000) by 30 March 2012, according to The-Numbers.com. The majority of films that fall into this genre inevitably feature either the Muppets or their TV cousins from Sesame Street. However, 2011's Muppets also beats puppetry films such as Team America: World Police (2004) and The Dark Crystal (1982).
