Dog City (special)

From Muppet Wiki

Dog City originally aired as part of episode 104 of The Jim Henson Hour on May 5, 1989 and was later shown on The Odyssey Channel as a stand-alone special without the MuppeTelevision framing segments. It was in this form that it was released on region 2 DVD, where it was marketed as Dog City: The Movie.

The special inspired an animated spin-off series, Jim Henson's Dog City.

The full film is available for viewing at the Paley Center for Media.
