Scooter's scrapbook of chaos: Jim Henson plays EVERYONE and won't let a frog finish a sentence.
Children's Songs and Stories (with the Muppets) was released by Playhouse Video in 1985, as part of a series of compilations featuring songs and sketches from The Muppet Show. In this one hour compilation, Scooter presents his scrapbook of songs and scenes from The Muppet Show for children. He tries to introduce his "personal favorite" song, but is continually interrupted by various characters (all performed by Jim Henson). Muppet Show guest star appearances include Brooke Shields, Twiggy, John Denver, Julie Andrews, Judy Collins and Charles Aznavour.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Playhouse Video released multiple Muppet compilations in 1985, but this is the only one framed as Scooter's personal archive—making it essentially early 'found footage' horror for felt.
This compilation captures peak Muppet guest star energy: real celebrities willing to look absurd opposite foam frogs, a tradition that basically died with the 1990s.
