The Muppets appeared in their first theatrical feature film The Muppet Movie in 1979. It was both a critical and financial success;[1] it made $65.2 million domestically and was the 61st highest-grossing film at the time.[2] Henson's idol Edgar Bergen died at age 75 during production of the film, and Henson dedicated it to his memory. Henson as Kermit sang "Rainbow Connection", and it hit number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. The Henson-directed The Great Muppet Caper (1981) followed, and Henson decided to end the Muppet Show to concentrate on making films,[3] though the Muppet characters continued to appear in TV movies and specials.[citation needed]
