Summary: Can you picture that?
Review: The Muppet Movie is possibly the greatest achievement in human history, after the wheel and the electric lightbulb. I remember seeing it as a three year old and crying when it was over because I wanted to see it again. That feeling hasn't left after two decades, and I'm thrilled to see this artistic masterpiece on DVD. As Max the henchman says, I see a frog and a bear in a rainbow colored Studebaker.

Summary: 1 star for the DVD 5 stars for the film
Review: OK I love this movie but I am getting really sick of studios releasing films with no extras on DVD. Muppets in Space has more features than this far superior Muppet film. How sad..I have NO intention spending money on a DVD that has no extra features...I'm getting tired of 6 months later a special edition being released with extras after I bought the first. (Dogma, Shakepeare in Love and others all did this!

Summary: One of the greatest family films... A real treasure!
Review: "The Muppet Movie" remains one of my favorite films of all time, and I'm 23-years-old. No, this is not an attempt to be "so retro, I'm hip". I genuinely love this movie. It is simply a fantastic adventure that the whole family can enjoy. Yes, even the adults. There is plenty of sly mature humor to entertain the parents, not to mention the fact that for most of us older folk we can still vividly remember watching Sesame Street and The Muppet Show back in the 70s and 80s. For us, it's a pleasant walk down memory lane. For the new generation, it gives kids the chance to discover the magic of Jim Henson that they're so sorely missing. They just don't make family films like this anymore. The only films in the past few years that come close are the "Babe" and "Toy Story" movies. Sadly, none of the recent movies featuring the Muppets ever quite captured the magic of this first film. "Christmas Carol", "Treasure Island" and "Muppets in Space", as well as "Elmo in Grouchland" were all pretty good as far as kids films go, but you could definitely tell that they suffered as a result of Jim Henson's absence.See "The Muppet Movie" with someone you love. Relish this timeless tale about following one's dreams. It's an experience you will want to treasure forever, and share with everyone you care about.

Summary: ON DVD FINALLY!!!!
Review: The Muppet Movie is the "kind of Dream that only gets better the more people you share it with" If you haven't seen this as an adult then its time you did. I saw it again shortly after Jim Henson's death, and I made me realize what a wonderful teacher and mentor we had lost. Jim Henson was a Man who took just piece of cloth and made "millions of people" all over the world laugh, cry and sing. But more than that, I think his true gift was his ability to nurture the gifts and dreams of others. I think the Muppet Movie, in large part, is a testiment to Jim Henson's spirit and his gratitude toward everyone else who became a part of his dream, and his encouragement to others to pursue theirs. (Or its a parody on the Wizard of Oz..... think about it) In any case its really funny, and will leave you feeling good. And who can complain about a widescreen version on DVD?

Summary: One of the greats...
Review: I hope that sometime in the future historians will look back and see that the day Jim Henson died was truly one of the saddest days in entertainment history. I say this because I hold the opinion that what Jim Henson was trying to achieve with The Muppets (in all their guises) is what all artists should strive to do regardless of medium. Somewhere in all the mayhem that is the world of Muppets is an inherently pure desire to entertain and put a smile on people's faces. That's not to say art shouldnt be thought-provoking or controversial (a la Eminem or The Meat Dress) but what we all should strive to achieve is the 100% achievement of the goal that Jim Henson accomplished with his felt creations. They make us laugh while teaching us more about the world and ourselves than I feel will ever be given to their credit. Children of the last 3 generations have grown up with the Muppets in some form or another because we as a society trust them never to steer us in the wrong direction. Muppets make mistakes just like we all do, but in the end they know the difference between right and wrong and always try their best to go in the proper direction. I guess that's why I always cry when Gonzo sings "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday": because to see a Muppet sad after trying so hard to make us smile... well... lets just say that sometimes an image, a word, a song can speak more truth than any of us will ever know. I miss you Jim Henson.

Summary: So Funny, it's genius
Review: The Muppet Movie is so well done, that it's Oscar worthy. The cast is a riot and the jokes never turn lame. "The Rainbow Connection" is the best song there is on soundtrack and movie, which I'm at leased glad it was noimnated for a Academy Award. There was for a while rumors going around that a uncut segament release was made and is hard to find, considering the movie is originally 97 minutes long, but was cut down for timing perposes. Right around in the future is a "New" muppet show, so this movie will probably stocked up in video stores around summer. I have a copy of my own and I have been watching it since I was a kid. I just wish that The Jim Henson company would come out with a DVD version. Enjoy!

Summary: A Treat for Kids Young and Old.
Review: First and the best in the Muppet Movies finds Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the gang heading for Hollywood to become stars. Music by Paul Williams and starring Steve Martin and Orson Wells. Jim Henson's creations made a smooth transistion from their hit Muppet Show to the Film screen with class.

Summary: The Best Muppet Movie of All Time!
Review: My sister and I learned all of the songs from this movie long before we actually saw the movie. We used to act out a routine to each song and perform our "show" for our parents. We finally saw the movie years later and loved every minute of it. It brings back some very fond memories. This was Jim Henson at his best. Children's television and movies were forever changed with his talented creations. It's hard to remember that they are only puppets.

Summary: Chilhood Memories
Review: I grew up watching this movie over and over again. My brothers and sisters and I memorized all the songs and sang them all the time. I just came looking for this movie or the soundtrack to give to them as a memory of our childhood. I'm disappointed to find it no longer available. The first song of the movie is the best song. Kermit is sitting on his lilly pad singing and he captures your heart from the start. I love this movie.
