Summary: I want to be a muppet
Review: I absolutly love this movie. It's been a favorite of mine since it hit the big screen. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to have a good laugh. I really missed Rolfe though; he is the only old-school muppet missing. I think that has something to do w/ Jim Henson's death though. The only thing I did not like about this movie is when Jim Hawkins starts singing. I have to fast forward through it every time.

Summary: in my top ten
Review: If I had to choose ten desert island disks, this would be in the top five. Young Kevin Bishop is adorable and spunky as Jim Hawkins. Tim Curry (we can never have enough Curry) is perfection itself as Long John Silver. The Muppet cast is as brilliant as ever, though Jim is missed with Kermit's every line. Still wonderful, just not the same. And no review would be complete without a quick rave over Billy Connelly as Billy Bones. Lovely!
So, if you know the words, sing along!

Summary: A swashbuckling good time!!
Review: Muppet treasure Island is not only a lot of fun it is also a stylish production also. Billy Connelly is great as are the muppets of course. The music by Hans (lion King)Zimmer is brilliant as are ALL the songs. (Wonderfull score). Kevin Bishop gave an excellant performance as Jim Hawkins and HE SINGS BRILLIANTLY!!! Tim Curry is first rate. Its one I have watched several times and enjoy it more everytime. The 'Cabin Fever' song sequence is priceless!!

Summary: Not their best, but gotta own it anyway
Review: The movie still captures the muppet magic, but just not as sharply. Unlike a prior commentor, I loved muppets in space much more than this movie. The boy's singing is like nails on a blackboard...thankfully, he doesn't do it that often. I have all of the other muppet movies so far, and sadly this is their weakest...but alas, I gotta own it on dvd as I'm a muppet fan. It's worth seeing, but don't expect too much.

Summary: Great Movie, Poor DVD
Review: Muppet Treasure Island is a great Muppet Movie which tells the story of Treasure Island.The DVD however is very unfortunate. It is presented in FULL SCREEN Format only. I know some people don't understand what the big deal is, but WIDESCREEN is the theatrical format. FULL SCREEN is an edited version of the original theatrical (Widescreen format). Films were always edited to Full Screen for VHS. THere is always a message saying that it was modified from it's original version and has been formatted to fit your tv (Standard TVs). To edit the movie two inches are chopped off of both sides of the film in most cases. Plus on Widescreen Tvs to watch this DVD we have to wtach it as a box with two bars on both sides of the movie. There are also no Special Features, So again we'll say Great Movie, Poor DVD.

Summary: Could Be Better
Review: As Muppet movies go this one is average, nothing spectacular. Tim Curry does a dastardly enough Long John Silver and our young protagonist isn't as annoying as most tend to be, but the jokes and gags just aren't as sharp as they were in previous Muppet productions. The music numbers aren't half bad though and there are some memorable moments. While it's nowhere near as bad as Muppets in Space, it's only a little better than Muppets Take Manhattan. If you want the good stuff see The Muppet Movie and the Great Muppet Caper or check out the Best of the Muppet Show DVDs. Here's hoping Disney anamorphically enhances it and hurries up with the excellent Muppet's Christmas Carol on DVD!

Summary: An All-Time Classic!
Review: Our family first saw this movie on vacation at the beach and we haven't stopped watching since. It is indeed one of our top five movies of all time. The writing is fabulous and most songs get stuck in your head. I just hope it doesn't die on VHS. Where's the DVD?!

Summary: "Muppet Treasure Island" will keep you laughing!
Review: The story of Treasure Island will never be the same after you watch this movie. The Disney movie "Treasure Island" may be interesting and good to watch, after watching this movie, you'll have to confess this is much more fun. Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop), Gonzo, and Rizzo are working in an inn when Captain Billy Bones (Billy Connolly) dies. Before he does however, he gives them a map to a great treasure. They escape from the inn before they're killed by Blind Pew and his pirates. With the financial aid of 'rich, half-witted son' Squire Trelawney (Fozzie the Bear) and the 'man who lives in his finger, Mr. Bimbo', they set off to get the treasure with Captain Abraham Smollet (Kermit the frog). But they watch out for 'the one-legged man' but that doesn't mean it's Long John Silver (Tim Curry)? And while watching the whole movie you'll enjoy seeing all the fun Muppets Benjamina Gunn (Miss Piggy), Mr. Samuel Arrow (Sam the Eagle), Polly Lobster (Spa'am), and an assortment of other Muppets. "Muppet Treasure Island" is so very, very funny! I love the humor in it. One of my favorite lines is when Squire Trelawney doesn't seem to understand what and 'ocean' is. Rizzo says to him, "You know, the big, blue, wet thing?" to which Trelawney answers, "Oh, the big, blue, wet thing!" I also love all of the songs, especially "Cabin Fever", "Love Let Us Here", and "Boom, Shalakala". They're hilarious! Don't also miss the other Muppet movies. 1) "The Muppet Movie", the very first Muppet movie in which the Muppets go to Hollywood. 2) "The Great Muppet Caper" is where the Muppets stop thieves from stealing the great baseball diamond. 3) "The Muppets Take Manhattan" do just what the title suggests. The Muppets take Manhattan! 4) "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is I think one of the best adaption of Charles Dickens's book. 5) "The Muppets from Space" finally explains what Gonzo is. He's an alien from outer space! Will he be able to be united with his family?

Summary: Really cute Muppet Movie
Review: This is a great muppet movie! Cute songs too. Mostly good for Gonzo and Rizzo lovers, but Kermit and Piggy are featured. Tim Curry is quite funny in the movie. It's a delightful movie, but most likely not the one you'd watch to get out of reading the book! :)

Summary: Treasure Island Will Never Be the Same Again!
Review: "Muppet Treasure Island" tells the story of the classic novel, with a Jim Henson twist. Kermit is the dashing Captain Smollett, Miss Piggy as the ravashing Benjamina Gunn, Fozzie is the dimwitted Squire Trelawney, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as the intelligent Dr. Livesay, Gonzo, Rizzo, and Beeker as themselves, and several other memorable Muppets. Tim Curry steps in to play the most dreaded pirate ever to sail the Seven Seas, Long John Silver. And Kevin Bishop makes his first appearance on the Silver Screen as the brave, young Jim Hawkins. The Hispaniola and Treasure Island together are now the equivalent to "A Cruise to the Bahamas For Rats"-- compliments of Rizzo the Rat and Rat Tours Limited, the Sweedish Chef makes a rather odd-looking cook on the island, and Statler and Waldorf are the "mermaid" figureheads of the Hispaniola. With brillant songs and musical numbers in addition, this is one movie your family will want to watch again and again!
