Review of Muppet Treasure Island (1996) by James M — 20 Jan 2008

OK, so I know many Muppet Fans who say Take Manhattan is the best - but I must disagree. I LOOOOOVE this film! It is so fun and silly and FABULOUS!!! All the Muppet Performers are on top of their game here, and the songs are great and infectious.

I LOVE the Pirate Roll Call scene - Old Tom, Really Old Tom, Dead Tom. And then Big Fat Ugly Bug Faced Baby Eating O'Brien and Angel Marie! Funny stuff. I really do enjoy a silly goofy Muppet Film.

And this fits the bill perfectly. The little kid who plays "Jim Hawkins" is adorable and has a lovely voice, and Tim Curry as Long John Silver - doesn't get better than that!!! Do yourself a favor.

Grab a bowl of popcorn and sit your donkeys down on the couch and enjoy some fun Muppet Pirating!!!
