Review of The Muppet Movie (1979) by Trevor R — 19 Jun 2011

Having just begun to get into the Muppets' tv shows in preparation for the new movie coming out, I had to check out their older movies too. I know only the main MAIN characters well, and this flick stuck with those but I also got to know some other ones.

I gotta say the movie charmed the daylights out of me. The muppets are just so dang lovable. Jim Henson and Frank Oz do most of the voice work for the main muppets. Cameos from some pretty big names in show business abound in the film and even another Henson alum.

I won't spill any names, but I enjoyed being surprised many times throughout. The usual catchy songs found in pretty much every muppet medium are most definitely present. I really enjoyed The Muppet Movie and if you're going to see the new one but haven't watched anything muppet, check this out (as well as their tv show, The Muppet Show).
