Muppet Movie

Pros: innovative, very funny, a great back-story to the characters
Cons: none

The Muppets have now been around for a long time, but they got their start in film back with The Muppet Movie. It served as an introduction of Jim Henson’s characters to the mainstream audience of movie-goers, and set the stage for many more ...

Pros: It's the Muppets. Entertaining family movie with wonderful cameos.
Cons: Some people could think it is silly.

When I was a child, I grew to love The Muppet Show and looked forward to watching it and Sesame Street. I barely remember the first time I saw The Muppet Movie, the first major movie featuring the Muppets. Since then I have ...

Pros: Pitch-Perfect Characterization of Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo...Music, Madness...
Cons: 1) I'm Crazy. 2) A few pacing problems?

With almost 400 Epinions under my belt, there are still some notable vacancies in my reviews. Products, books, and movies that I'm certainly obsessed with, but have, until this point, felt inadequate to review. Not because I wouldn't do a good job, but...

Pros: Humor, Music, Cameos
Cons: DVD quality, Thin plot, Production values

Hi everybody! I just realized that I haven’t written any reviews this month, and I do like to get one out at least that often. Even though I have plenty of free time this summer, I don’t have the kind of access to movies that I have during the year....

Pros: Excellent songs, very funny, surprising cameos
Cons: Silliness bordering on insanity

The best of the series, this road trip film traces the origin of the popular Muppets that were widely known when this was released as stars of the television hit The Muppet Show. Unfortunately, where I am at least, The Muppet Show isn't even syndicated ...

Pros: Fun and creative characters, keeps my attention, cute soundtrack, makes me laugh
Cons: Slow pacing at the end, sound quality

I’m on a bit of a Muppet kick, so I spent my morning watching The Muppet Movie. This 1979 release is the first feature length film starring the Muppet characters, and explains how they all meet for the first time. Apparently it does a pretty ...

Pros: The muppets!
Cons: None

Everybody knows Jim Henson's famous creations, the muppets. I've seen and loved "The Muppet Show" since I was a kid. Who doesn't know who Kermit the Frog, Fozzy Bear, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo are? And who doesn't love such Sesame Street characters like...

Pros: fun movie to watch for all ages
Cons: none

Note: This is my 300th review!! I am so excited to have gotten to 300, finally, and I hope that you enjoy it! It was hard to pick what to review for this milestone review but, as you will see, this is one of my favorite movies ever so I...

Pros: The Muppets in their prime when the stories revolved around the main ones Almost flawless
Cons: Maybe one or two dull songs, not much else

Being born in 1980, when I was a boy, I had my own personal heroes, the Transformers, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Hulk Hogan (whom I covered previously in my review of his DVD), Pee-Wee Herman, The Ninja Turtles, etc. However, nearly all of...

Pros: Nothing offensive, humorous, fun songs
Cons: Starting to look a little old

I first saw "The Muppet Movie" when I was in fifth grade. We were singing "The Rainbow Connection," a song from the movie, in choir, and I wanted to see how that song fit into the plot.

I have seen "The Muppet...

Pros: Zany Muppets, great songs, lots of cameos
Cons: It ends

Jim Henson's "The Muppet Movie" is thought of as, appropriately, a classic. Taking the chance on a big screen from the hit TV series "The Muppet Show", Kermit and company were a huge success.
...

Pros: Not a dull moment, great story, great acting by everyone, even the puppets
Cons: No sequel has come close

I saw this movie in the theater with some of my siblings when it came out many years ago. Contrary to the ridiculous description given to the movie, it does not star Edgar Bergen, Mel Brooks, OR Milton Berle. It stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog,...

Pros: Arguably the best family film to come out of the 1970s; great soundtrack
Cons: Film is dated by several celebrity cameos

"A bear in his natural habitat... a Studebaker." --Fozzie Bear, The Muppet Movie


What do you get if you cross a bug-eyed, banjo-strummin' frog, a wisecracking bear, a love-struck pig with delusions of grandeur, a brilliant...

Pros: Fantastic Family Fun
Cons: There aren't more movies like this one..

I remember watching this one when I was small. As it began, Kermit the Frog sits on his log in the swamp, playing the banjo, not even knowing all the things he's missing out on in the world until the day an agent comes paddling through the water, and...

Pros: Kid friendly
Cons: If adults are caught watching it, they'll be called immature

I never was one that watched the old Muppet television shows, but this movie really makes up for all that.

From the opening scene to the final credits, this film is by far the best work I've seen on film. Other movies had their high points,...
