The Muppets take on Robert Louis Stevenson in their inimitable way in this rollicking musical version of the pirate saga. Using the bare bones of the classic story as a framework, director Brian Henson press-gangs the likes of Billy Connolly, Jennifer Saunders and Tim Curry into service for a series of hilarious cameos, accompanied by some rousing songs and the now customary “romance” between Miss Piggy and Kermit. Adults may find the voyage a long haul, but children will love it.

A rollicking, unmemorable musical treatment of an oft-told tale which has some difficulty accommodating the story to its Muppet characters: Miss Piggy appears as Benjamina Gunn, Fozzie Bear is Squire Trelawney and Kermit becomes Captain Smollett.

Something lacking from this one.
Having been a fan of the Muppet movies since I was a kid with the likes of Muppet Movie & Christmas Carol, which both had well written comedy & wit.
Muppet Treasure Island seems to lack both of these, and adding to the fact the leading actor was poor and cannot sing, I was left feeling disappointed by this one. -

High Seas Muppet Madness
Expect the usual Muppet mayhem with an all-star cast in a hilarious adaptation of a well known film. Fun for everyone.
