Kermit's World Tour

From Muppet Wiki

Kermit's 50th Anniversary World Tour was originally meant to have been a year-long event in which Kermit the Frog would travel to 50 locations in celebration of his 50 years in the entertainment industry. Highlights were to have been documented on muppets.com with video and photo galleries.

Due to a shift in management with the Muppets Holding Company, the tour was greatly reduced to just a handful of appearances, the first of which took place on October 14, 2005 in Kermit, Texas. Other stops included the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas on October 15, 2005 and Radio City Music Hall in New York City on November 4, 2005.

A set of Kermit's World Tour magnets were also released featuring additional potential locations. Two Disney pins were also produced celebrating Kermit's birthday (for Walt Disney World and Disney Artist Choice).

Two years after Disney scrapped plans for the tour, Master Replicas, the company behind the photo Kermit, announced that they would be reviving the concept as a photo blog featuring fan submissions of the photo Kermit taken in iconic locales.
