The Muppet Babies looking for the missing monkey.
Georges Seurat was a 19th-century French artist most famous for his painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The art piece is often used as an example of the pointillism technique from the Post-Impressionism period, and was the inspiration for Stephen Sondheim's Broadway musical, Sunday in the Park with George (featuring Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Charles Kimbrough, and Robert Westenberg).
