The Muppet Movie

Rating:
Summary: WOW! What a great movie!
Review: When Jim Henson died, the world lost one of the best creators of children's entertainment! This movie is Henson at his prime. Kermit and Fozzie, travelling the nation, gathering all their muppet friends. I taped "Rainbow Connection" on a handheld recorder the night it aired on national television. I played the song on my piano! Now, as a fifth grade teacher, I still use parts of the song as quotes in my classroom. Everyone should watch this movie with the children, grandchildren, parents and grandparents. Fun for the ENTIRE family.

Summary: Best fun on video!
Review: This is the funniest kids' movie I've ever had the pleasure of seeing (and I saw it a few times back in the early eighties!)...the songs are memorable (and musical), the characters are endearing (and funny), and best of all, anyone of any age could see it and love it. It's a must see. Thank goodness for Amazon! I've been searching for this movie for ages.

Summary: Utterly fantastic!!
Review: In today's age of violence filled, sexually charged films, it is refreshing to see something like "The Muppet Movie" being made available. It is great for all ages, with good, sly humor tossed in even for the most jaded of adults. And the songs, oh the songs..from "Rainbow Connection" to "I'm Going to go Back There Someday", all sorts of goodness. Buy this video now! Your soul will thank you for it!

Summary: Magluglious!
Review: Rock On! This is among the greatest kids' movies of all time. Ever seen a frog ride a bicycle, or play the banjo? Yes, it's dated at spots and some of the jokes fall flat, but the music is so good and the characters so charming that one cannot help but smile, broadly... FRENCH FRIED FROG'S LEGS!

Summary: The Muppet movie rocks this world!
Review: In this story, America's favorite puppets go on an exciting journey, to Hollywood. They meet friends along the way, sing songs, and help kermit escape the villian of the story. There are really cute songs, and new characters. This is an all time classic!

Summary: Rainbow Connection-Connecting us all
Review: Ever since I was little I watched the Muppets and I loved em. This is a great movie showing how it all started when Kermit met Fozzie and the rest of the gang. It's got great songs like "I'm going to go back there someday", "Can't live with em, Can't live with out em", "Moving right along", and my personal favorite "The Rainbow Connection". I recommend this movie for- newborns to 1000 yrs. old. Trust me, you'll enjoy every minute.

Summary: Why is this movie not available?
Review: I can only imagine what it must have been like to sit in the 'pitch' meeting with Jim Henson re garding his 'muppet's' idea. "OK, there are these puppets, controlled by grown men, and there's a frog and a woman pig (that by the way knows karate) and they are in love..." I realize now what a genius Jim Henson was. Well anyway, 'Muppet Movie' is hilarious at times, very well-written, and Paul Williams' musical score ranks up there with 'The Sting' and 'Saturday Night Fever'. (How the HELL is this not available on CD?!!!!). The celeb cameos are spectacular (Rich Pryor, Dom DeLuise, Steve Martin, Milt Berle, Orson Welles, Mel Brooks, et al). And, in true Jim Henson form, the jokes are funny for kids and adults. Watch it and enjoy.

Summary: Don't be crazy. Get this movie
Review: Hmmmm...BrianH...as in Brian Henson, maybe? Either way, if you haven't seen this movie, see it. If you don't own this movie, buy it. The music is splendid and the story is great. This beats all the cookie-cutter animated movies coming out of Hollywood these days by miles.

Summary: One of the greatest, most charming movies of all time.
Review: No children's movie has ever come close to capturing this kind of innocence and magic. As far as I'm concerned, this movie replaces "The Wizard of Oz" as the greatest children's classic ever made.
