Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Madilyn Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Davis P Muppet Treasure Island (1996) is a very fun muppet adventure film. It has good characters played by talented actors who can portray them well, like Tim Curry for example. The chemistry between the characters is good, both muppet and human. I especially Tim curry as Long John Silver and Kevin Bishop as Jim Hawkins, they both portrayed their characters well and had good natural chemistry on screen together. The script contained both humorous moments and more dramatic/sentimental content. The action, much like with the great muppet caper (1981) is mild and somewhat comical. It's fitting and safe for family viewing. The film as a whole comes highly suggested for the entire family to watch and have fun with. Because at it's core, that really is what this film is all about, having some fun. Having fun and being entertained that is, which you will experience in this movie. It pretty much follows the exact treasure island formula just with muppet characters mixed in and toned down some in order to make it suitable for younger children and families. 8/10 for muppet treasure island. Pretty well made film.

DarthVoorhees I don't think there's a 'children's' franchise that has more appeal to adults than Jim Henson's Muppets. I liked them as a kid but as an adult I love them. Their humor has so much nuance and clever wit that the jokes and characters get better with age. 'Muppet Treasure Island' might just be my favorite Muppet film and that is a hard thing to truly say because the Muppets have so much re-watch ability. I think what I like here is how sincere the story is while exploiting bizarre Muppet humor. It takes an audacity to adapt Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel with Kermit and the gang. The movie is a hoot and I laughed a lot here but at the same time there's a great deal of heart and emotion involved. That's what has always been so wonderful about the Muppets and this swashbuckling adventure is no exception.What's so impressive here is how much integrity the original Stevenson story keeps while adapted in Muppet form. There are no cheap laughs at the expense of Long John Silver or Jim Hawkins. They blend seamlessly into the narrative. While Kermit, Fozzie, Piggy and the gang fill the outer cast and provide us with the classic humor, they never take away from the plot. Kermit is especially good as Captain Smollet. He gets some really heavy character motivation no doubt taken from the Stevenson novel and Kermit relays it very well. As do all the other characters. It doesn't feel out of place or thematically schizophrenic when we go from scenes showcasing the menace of Long John Silver to a rip roaring musical number affectionately called 'Cabin Fever'.Tim Curry is brilliant in this film. His interaction with the Muppets is seamless. In some of the lesser Muppet entries the human actors seem to be making fun of the Muppets (Charles Grodin in 'The Great Muppet Caper' is particularly bad'.) Curry treats them like they are real actors. This seems like it should be a no brainer but it is critical for this story here. Curry's band of buccaneer Muppets are actually quite menacing and some of the scarier creatures in a traditional Muppet film because the interaction is so good. The film isn't just an adaptation of 'Treasure Island' all the great Muppet humor and heart is intact and in some instances as funny as ever. Frank Oz's Fozzie Bear steals every scene he is in as Squire Trelawney(well in actuality the half witted son of Squire Trelawney). I particularly love how they use Gonzo and Rizzo in this film. They become Jim's companions on this voyage. Jim Henson always liked to portray the Muppets as dreamers and the excitement these characters relay over this pirate adventure is so in tune with the Muppets. 'Muppet Treasure Island' is not to be missed. It is funny and smart. I'd love to see the Muppets tackle another piece of literature because they really make it come alive in a new way. Highly recommended

studioAT After the so-so 'Muppet's most wanted' it was nice to go back and watch this film, which really does show the beloved characters off at their best.Using a lot of the same techniques as the earlier success 'Muppet Christmas Carol' the Muppets give their own fun filled interpretation of Treasure Island.Tim Curry holds the film together with a fabulously over the top performance, that more than makes up for the rather slow beginning. In typical Muppet fashion there are cameos and songs, as well as some now rather dated pop culture references that kids won't get but it doesn't matter.If you feel a bit let down by their recent outing, then a look back at this truly classic Muppet film could be what you need.

vip_ebriega My Take: The Muppets charm, along with the guests stars in this entertaining family romp. MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND wasn't meant to be a serious adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure story, so why not simply enjoy it. This Muppet version of the classic story is fun, funny and spirited. There's a lot of funny moments, most of which come from the exuberant glee of Jim Henson's batch of funny Muppets. Although adults will find much to deprive and annoyed, this is a fun and enjoyable romp for the young, young-at-heart and for those willing enough to be so.The story is basically similar, as we once again go across the sea, joining the young Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop) and the feisty pirate Long John Silver (Tim Curry), in search of the long lost treasure. The film is given a Muppet twist, which includes much of our favorite Muppet characters, including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear, Gonzo and all of those other rambunctious little Muppet characters are here and there.Adults may find a small discomfort when watching this kid-oriented film, but it's still a fun and bright family movie, mostly recommended for the younger set. Here's simply viewing it as a fun and appealing, with that you'll find it quite a pleaser. Any Muppet fan will be pleased by this jolly costume party, and kids will have a howling good time.Rating: *** out of 5.
