  Never too old!
  
  This film is just as good as I remember from my childhood, it’s great for adults who love Disney films.

  A Muppet Treasure!
  
  Achieves the double feat of being true to the quality of the book while being a hilariously funny musical - and Tim Curry is brilliant!

  The best Muppet Movie & the best Treasure Island

  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.
