The Song of the Cloud Forest

The Song of the Cloud Forest is a Muppet story that was first shown as part of episode 7 of the short-lived television series The Jim Henson Hour and later included on the DVD Jim Henson's The Song of the Cloud Forest and Other Earth Stories. It was written by David Young, and featured music by David Lebolt, Mark Radice, Phil Ramone, and Zak Smith. It told the story of a golden toad (where its species hasn't gone extinct yet) looking for a mate.
