Although Kermit's Mom is seen for the first time in Kermit's Swamp Years, the audience only ever sees her from behind. She speaks to Kermit one night and gives him advice as he gazes at the stars. Later in the movie, Kermit receives guidance from a star, which, like his mother, is voiced by Cree Summer. This could be interpreted as Kermit having mentally created the star based on his mother. In The Muppet Show Pitch Reel, Leo says that Kermit's Mom will be happy when The Muppet Show airs.
