VHS Movie Reviews of Muppet Treasure Island
Movie Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been looking for this movie for so long now. It was brand new. So 5/5Movie Review: Not Happy
Summary: 1 Stars
This dvd only played through once before it started skipping like crazy. I am very disappointed with this purchase. I paid close to $20 for this dvd that is by no means in good condition. My son loved the story so much that I've purchased another one from another website for $10 less than I paid here & it's brand new.Movie Review: Muppet Treasure Island
Summary: 5 Stars
Our family loves the Muppets and Tim Curry does a terrific job of being the main villain pirate. He's absolutely amazing.Movie Review: Fun, Adorable movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids absolutely love this movie, and so do I. The Muppets are great as always, and the classic story of Treasure Island with a Muppet twist, humans mingling with Muppets as if they naturally belong together, is really fun to watch.Movie Review: Still a decent Muppet Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
A lot of people panned this selection from the recent Muppet Movie installments, but I remain a fan and like the movie quite a bit. Gonzo and Rizzo once again man the narration helm and Tim Curry makes a great Long John Silver. The music is good, but is definately a touchy spot as some of the vocal ranges do not seem quite right. Just make sure you keep your mind out of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" when watching Curry strut and sing.
Summary of Muppet Treasure Island
Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate tale takes on a life of its own in the hands of the hilarious Muppets(TM)! MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND(TM) -- the Muppets' very first action-adventure -- is the fun-packed, music-filled, high-seas swashbuckler the entire family will enjoy over and over. It all begins when young Jim Hawkins inherits a long-lost map to a pirate's treasure. Jim hires the great ship Hispaniola where he meets the good Captain Smollett (Kermit the Frog) and the evil yet charming Long John Silver (Tim Curry). With adventure in their hearts and treasure chests of gold in their eyes, they set sail on the bounding main only to discover danger at every turn -- including Benjamina Gunn (Miss Piggy), Treasure Island's worshipped love goddess who's dressed to kill! Featuring a rollicking musical score by Academy Award(R)-winning Hans Zimmer (THE LION KING, 1994), MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND is a real gem that "explodes with wit, weirdness, and wildy inventive fun." (New York Post)Kids love this Muppet take on Robert Louis Stevenson's pirate classic, about the pirate Long John Silver (Tim Curry) and his takeover of a ship in order to track down buried treasure. His friend and then nemesis is earnest cabin boy Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop), who teams with the captain of the ship (Kermit the Frog) and several shipmates (including Gonzo, Ratso, and Fozzie) to foil Long John's nefarious plot. An odd subplot finds Captain Kermit stopping at a desert island to find his long-lost love (Miss Piggy--who else?). The Muppets have not lost their wild sense of humor, which works on enough levels to amply entertain children and their parents in imaginative fashion. --Marshall Fine
