Summary: My favorite Muppet movie
Review: Of all the Muppet movies that I have seen, "The Great Muppet Caper" is my personal favorite (next to the original Muppet movie). Although I am thirty years old, I still have a soft spot for Kermit and the gang. The premise of this film has Kermit, Gonzo, and Fozzie make a trip halfway around the world to London to try to cover a story that involved a stolen necklace whose owner happens to be a wealthy fashion designer named Lady Holiday. What happens next is a series of follies and hijinks involving Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Miss Piggy. One of my personal favorite scenes is when Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo checks into their hotel which is a dilapidated hotel where the residents are far from boring and extremely colorful. I absolutely love Dr.Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker, Janice (who I think has a fondness for wacky tobaccy), and the Swedish Chef. Another great moment in the film is during the fashion show and Miss Piggy is daydreaming that she was a runaway model and breaks into this whole song and dance routine. I can still watch this movie and still laugh until I am literally crying. I can never tire of The Muppets no matter how old I am.

Summary: Ester Williams, eat your heart out.
Review: Only kidding Ester, but the swimming sequence with Miss Piggy to me is worth the whole entire movie. The song is beautiful and the orchestration is powerful and mind blowing and the 5.1 stereo sound with Charles and Kermit battling over for Miss Piggy in that swimming scene gives me goose-flesh every time i watch it.Artistically these muppet movies are a wonderful combination of live people, great props and scenery, lavish costumes, wonderful music and really great story lines. Even at age 54 i find these movies a wonderful escape from hectic days and are just a joy to watch. Who would ever think "the muppets" would endure these several decades. Jim Henson was a wonderful man and to bad his life was cut so short.

Summary: Kermit and CO go to LONDON!!
Review: The first muppet film directed by the man himself JIM HENSON we see our heroes kermit,fozzie and gonzo head to london to solve a spate of jewell robberies. The film is well cast the stars are great but its the muppets who steal every scene the musical numbers are superb the puppeteering is flawless the on screen muppet effects e.g the bicycle scene are a work of sheere genius.Any muppet fan worth their salt will already own this film on VHS as i do but the DVD edition should be far supperior with those new muppetisms etc.As a puppeteer and puppetmaker myself the muppets are at their visual best esspecially miss piggy who has changed dramatically over the last few years,this was when the muppets were at the height of their popularity and that comes accross in the finished movie. If you havent seen this film you owe it to yourself to purchase this DVD,If you have seen the movie however buy it amyway....

Summary: Good show, Muppets, good show!
Review: The Muppets first action-adventure brings them to jolly-old England and loads of fun. The songs aren't quite as memorable as the 1st, but this is hands-down Piggy's finest work. Gonzo is 1st refered to as a whatever and John Cleese's cameo is not to be missed. Jolly good!

Summary: Perfect!
Review: The Muppets go to London? Perfect situation! Where else are you going to take them to solve the greatest crime of the 20th century:Who stole Lady Holiday (Diana Rigg)'s diamonds? Throw in a very suave Charles Grodin, and a very hilarious cameo by John Cleese, and you have one of the best Muppet films ever made! See it if you haven't!

Summary: A Message From Mr. Movie Buff
Review: The second besst Muppet Movie ever! This movie stars Kermit and Fozzie as twin newspaper reporters, and Gonzo as thier photographer. After losing their jobs, the trio travels to England to solve the case of Lady Holiday's jewel thefts. While there, Kermit meets Miss Piggy and has a great adventure after Miss Piggy is framed, and Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo along with the rest of the gang have to work to bring the real thieves to justice! This was definitely one of the best mysteries I've ever seen, and would have been my favorite Muppet Movie, but The Muppets Take Manhattan edged it out. I loved the story, the Muppets couldn't have been funnier, and you just had to love Animal! A movie for all types.

Summary: Hey, a movie!
Review: The second big-screen outing for Jim Henson's Muppets is nearly as good as the first. Kermit and Fozzie are investigative reporters with Gonzo as their photographer. To save their job's they need to find out who stole Lady Holiday's diamond necklace. Cue unforgettable musical numbers, cleverly choreographed dance routines and more Muppet laughs than you can shake a baseball diamond at.The DVD release of The Great Muppet Caper was a little disappointing. The other two Muppet movies included more extra features, eg. Jim Henson interview or Camera Test, but this release only includes a handful of Muppetisms. Second long comical clips featuring Kermit and the gang. It would have been nice to see the original production featurette for this movie or even some original trailers from The Great Muppet Caper or The Muppet Movie. Even though the special features are a little light we are still presented with the wide-screen version of an excellent Muppet movie with cameos galore and plenty of that Muppet magic. The musical score is also amazing. Provided by Joe Raposo, the man behind other Muppet music such as Bein' Green and the theme from Sesame street, it is as charming and friendly as the Muppets themselves. The sound is also included here in a 'Newly Created Dolby Digital' version so you get the full cinema surround sound right in your own living room! All-in-all, this is a worthy addition to anyones DVD collection.

Summary: They don't make 'em like this any more
Review: This is a comedy classic up there with the genius output of the Marx Brothers and Woody Allen. It is enjoyable for kids of course, but adults will love it too because a lot of the humour is intended to go over kids' heads. It's just a great film.
