Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
From Muppet Wiki
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a 1978 comedy film, spoofing B horror movies (as well as films such as Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Jaws, and Superman), in which tomatoes attack a small town. The movie spawned three sequels and a 1990 animated series, produced by Marvel Productions.
Clips from the movie were included in multiple episodes of Muppet Babies. The most notable example occurred in "The Weirdo Zone," as Baby Fozzie imagines an attack by the silly tomatoes, seeking revenge on all comedians.
