Ep 4. The Great Muppet Sport-A-Thon

The Great Muppet Sport-A-Thon is the fourth episode of the first season of Muppet Babies. In this episode, the Muppet babies decide to have a sports day, but not all of them are thrilled about it. Fozzie, Kermit, and Piggy are excited to participate in the various sports activities like the relay, while Gonzo and Animal are not interested in the slightest and are more focused on snacks.

As the Sport-A-Thon begins, Gonzo and Animal find themselves left out of the games as Fozzie, Kermit, and Piggy take part in different events. Gonzo takes a snack break, and Animal decides to create his own sport, which he calls "extreme tag." He chases Gonzo around the backyard, and soon, all the other babies join in.

Meanwhile, Fozzie and Kermit are competing in the relay race, but Fozzie is nervous about his performance. He trips and falls, but Kermit cheers him on and they end up winning the race. Piggy also excels in the gymnastics event, but she becomes overconfident and ends up falling off the balance beam.

As the Sport-A-Thon comes to a close, Gonzo and Animal's extreme tag game becomes the highlight of the day. The other babies join in, and soon, they create their own sports equipment out of household items, including a basketball hoop made from a laundry hamper and a frisbee made from a paper plate. They have so much fun playing their own games that they forget about the official sports day altogether.

Overall, The Great Muppet Sport-A-Thon is a fun and lighthearted episode that teaches viewers the importance of participation and creativity in sports. It shows that not everyone is going to excel at every sport, but everyone can find something enjoyable about physical activity. The episode also highlights the importance of inclusion, as Gonzo and Animal are able to create their own version of a sport that suits their interests and abilities.

The animation in this episode is bright and colorful, and there are catchy songs and funny one-liners throughout. The Muppet babies are all lovable characters with their own unique personalities and quirks, and they all contribute to making this episode an enjoyable viewing experience.
