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

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

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

Pros: The muppets!
Cons: None
Summary: 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 ... read more

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
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Humor, Music, Cameos
Cons: DVD quality, Thin plot, Production values
Summary: 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. ... read more

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

Pros: The best of all the Muppet Movies, truly inspirational
Cons: The guest stars are dated by today's standards
Summary: Frog leaves the swamp for Hollywood to make it big in the movies. Frog meets friends along the way that share that dream. Sound dull? Hardly.
This is the movie that supposedly tells Kermit's rise to fame. From his roots of playing banjo in ... read more

Pros: Great family movie, an awesome soundtrack, simply a classic movie
Cons: Big Animal is scary for little kids
Summary: This movie is on in our house at least 3x a week. I had it on tape for a while but didn't realize what a jewel I had on my shelf. Now that my daughter is 2 and I only want quality shows on tv for her, I broke out this movie. She absolutely loves it, ... read more

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

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

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

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

Pros: Excellent songs, very funny, surprising cameos
Cons: Silliness bordering on insanity
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: fresh entertainment every time you watch it
Cons: none
Summary: When the Muppets began this movie, as Kermit's voice, singing from a log in a swamp, and the camera zooms in from far, far away, the Rainbow song becomes everything. A guitar-strumming, bike-riding, car-driving, deal-
fanagling frog brings together ... read more
