How could anyone hate this?

Seriously, MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND is funnier than any "adult" comedy made in the last ten years. While not held in the same regard as the Muppet movies of the 1980s or MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL, I thought this movie was amazing and easily the most hilarious of all the Muppet movies I've seen. The Muppets are all well-cast and the human performers are wonderful, especially Tim Curry. There's a talent in being able to actually talk to felt with a straight face.

It breaths life into a tired old story.

Hold on tight...I'm gonna say something that will no doubt shock many of you. I don't particularly like "Treasure Island". I think it's a bit silly and there have been way too many versions. So, I wasn't exactly excited when my daughter suggested we see the film. Fortunately, this Muppet version offers enough to make it worth seeing--unlike the typical version of this classic (but dull) tale.

The plot is very similar to the original story but with (fortunately) many Muppet touches. When the film sticks to the original plot and (especially) the original style of language, the film lags a bit. But, when silly stuff is tossed in, the audience's interest is piqued and the film becomes quite clever. A few of the very funny touches are the rats you see throughout the movie, the Swedish Chef's cameo and the truly nutty but wonderful 'Cabin Fever' song! It doesn't always work, I will admit, such as perhaps one song too many and some painful singing by the child playing young Jim Hawkins. Nothing against the kid--I am sure he's a swell person, but here he is a but underwhelming--and this would be true of many child actors given such prominence in a film.

Overall, though I was predisposed to dislike this one, I didn't. There was enough for this curmudgeon to like and it's actually one of the better Muppet films. Surprise, surprise.

late Kermit/Miss Piggy entrance

The Muppets gang try on this classic story with pirate treasure. It's got the irreverent sense of humor. That's definitely the good part of this movie.

The less good is the bland boy lead Kevin Bishop. He's acceptable but just nothing special. The same can be said of the songs. It's just not memorable.

The biggest sin of this movie must be the late entrance of both Kermit and Miss Piggy. How dare they treat Kermit as a secondary character. And Miss Piggy doesn't even get in till much much much later. That's a crime against pigmanity. I was wondering if they cut her out entirely.
