Easily, One of the Best Muppet Movies, 24 March 2007
8/10
Author: Fiendish_Dramaturgy from .: Fiendish Writings in the Dark :.

I own the entire Muppet Movie collection, and have watched them all, many times. While this is not my personal favorite, it is easily the best of the line. As an adaptation of a classic work, as was the Muppet Christmas Carol, this zany recreation holds some intrigue, some good tense moments, and great laughs, while managing to project a strong moral center.

With the wild popularity of Disney's Pirates line, I can see why a reissue of this work was necessary. With Tim Curry as Long John Silver, HOW could you go wrong? This is great fun, wildly entertaining, and just plain good.

It rates a 7.8/10 from...
