All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Anyone with brains knows that Hollywood has never made an honest movie in its life . . . . and muppet creator Jim Henson's handy relation, Brian, keeps the b.s. of Hollywood alive by occupying Jim's position as muppet movie director just because he's related.Typically claustrophobic muppet mess which seems to lack a script -- or at least a coherent one. Brian Henson's choppy direction remains a sore spot accompanied by the usual patented muppet movie noise and confusion. Tim Curry expectedly overacts as 'Long John Silver' and he looks adequately embarrassed while he does it.Jim Henson was a genius who was responsible for the rise of the muppet empire, but that empire should finally fall by disappearing from American movie theaters for good.

Six years after the puppet legend's maniacal death of Staph Infection, His child quickly got away with the most dazzling Muppet film i've ever seen o_O, The story follows Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop) working at an inn alongside hotheaded innkeeper Mrs Blubridge (Jennifer Saunders). After his friend Billy Bones (Billy Connoly) Dies via 'The Black Spot' Jim and his two Muppet friends Gonzo & Rizzo quickly look for the treasure Billy was talking about. Alongside John Silver (Tim Curry (I Love this guy X3)) whom is really a cook but is sneakily abandoning Sam the Eagle just to claim the treasure of his own, For he had one leg that Billy warned Jim about. Moral: TRUSTING TIM CURRY IS A BIT...WELL...PENNYWISE!

Though it does not have the reputation of its predecessors, this is perhaps the most consistently entertaining Muppet movie so far; like the previous entry, MUPPET Christmas CAROL (1992), it transposes the lovable 'characters' into the environment of a popular children's classic – in this case, R.L. Stevenson's quintessential pirate yarn "Treasure Island". Unlike the Dickens tale, this particular plot had never before been attempted as a musical (much less a lampoon)…but, for the most part, it retains the flavor of the original (despite innumerable modern interjections and in-jokes that sometimes fall flat) and proves surprisingly faithful (with the obvious modification so as to accommodate Miss Piggy). She appears as Benjamina Gunn, while Kermit is the 'fearsome' Captain Smollett (with Sam Eagle as his first-mate who likes to anticipate his would-be ruthless commands). Though usually the major figures in a Muppet show, Kermit and Miss Piggy (their best bit involves them hanging over a precipice, with the former's eyeballs virtually bursting out of their sockets as he valiantly holds the latter by her feet) are overshadowed here by Rizzo the Rat – who, apart from being perennially hungry (as was his custom), is instilled with a cynical outlook and nervous demeanor but also a shrewd business sense (turning the "Hispaniola" into the poor man…er…mouse's cruise liner)! – and a dopey-looking pirate goat appropriately dubbed "Clueless". Also notable, though, is the vicious Blind Pew (who prefers to address his particular affliction in modern parlance i.e. "visually challenged"!); The Great Gonzo is basically no more than his weird-looking self (and that is all he needs to be, really), but Fozzie Bear is a hoot as the self-proclaimed "half-wit" son of Squire Trelawney (who has named and carries conversation with his index finger!). On the human front, we get two name actors – Tim Curry as an adequately roguish Long John Silver and Billy Connolly (with heavy Scots accent intact) as Billy Bones; the kid playing Jim Hawkins acquits himself well enough, too, and there is a hilarious running-gag early on involving the female inn-keeper's acute sense of hearing. Typically, the songs are no great shakes per se but serve their purpose for the duration.

Featuring our favourite puppets, the muppets, this particular Muppet film is based on Treasure Island. It is not totally similar to the original book - but who cares? This is a hilarious, exciting and even heart-warming film. Both the muppets and the non-muppets do a very good acting job. The muppetty plot laid out works very well. The songs are well-written, fun and can stick in your head (pleasantly) for days. As I may have mentioned in a different way, the jokes are very good. I do not think this film would be worth watching without the humour, really.You probably know the story, a boy called Jim Hawkins finds a treasure map and sets sail out for Treasure Island for treasure (duh) and meets the evil Long John Silver - with one leg. Well, imagine this plot with muppets featured! Meet Gonzo and Rizzo, Jim's companions, Kermit as the Captain of the Hispaniola (Captain Abraham Smollett) and more!I recommend this fantastic film to anyone who likes the muppets and their sense of humour and films with mad songs. Enjoy "Muppet Treasure Island"! :-)
