Muppet Treasure Island
"...A fairly worldly-wise affaire d'amour, allowing the vivid sorcery beauty of the original to work on its own level as well as providing fodder for parody, slapstick and the vaudeville revue formula of the Muppets' television shows..."
Muppet Treasure Island
A rollicking, unmemorable musical treatment of an oft-told tale which has some difficulty accessible the black lie to its Muppet characters: Misapprehend Piggy appears as Benjamina Gunn, Fozzie Bear is Squire Trelawney and Kermit becomes Captain Smollett.
Muppet Treasure Island
The Muppets gobble up on Robert Louis Stevenson in their inimitable way in this rollicking tuneful adaptation of the pirate saga. Using the bare bones of the deathless piece as a framework, supervisor Brian Henson pressure-gangs the likes of Billy Connolly, Jennifer Saunders and Tim Curry into service for a series of hilarious cameos, accompanied by some spirited songs and the then traditional "romance" between Avoid Piggy and Kermit. Adults may find the voyage a desire , but children will affair it.
