Watch Muppet Treasure Island For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Powerful

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Muppet Treasure Island is a great movie with a very enjoyable storyline and a terrific cast of both live action actors and voice actors/puppeteers.It is certainly one of the worst Muppet movies,in fact in my opinion it is probably the weakest,but I still thoroughly enjoyed it,I love all the wonderful characters and they never fail to make me laugh and also make me emotional at times.Like all Muppet movies there are loads of great songs,this movies is no exception,the songs are very catchy,although there is certainly no songs as good or as memorable as classic Muppet tunes such as Rainbow Connection or Saying Goodbye.I really enjoyed Tim Curry's performance,he toned down on the usual creepy performances he gives,and portrays a more comedic character,although I thought the ending involving Long John Silver was quite lazily written.Muppet Treasure Island certainly has its flaws,but if you're a fan of the Muppets you can certainly look past them,I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good family film. After the death of his father,a young boy and his two friends,Gonzo and Rizzo,set off to find treasure using his dads treasure map.Best Performance: Tim Curry

Like the rest of the Muppet movies my family and I have on video, I remember seeing them all as a kid, but there was a long period I didn't watch it for a while. My earliest memory of watching the movie was in the fifth grade. I thought it was OK. After a long while, I saw all of these videos on video again, during my high school years. I loved this film - it was my second favorite Muppet movie! Watching it now as an adult, I think it's good, but I don't think it's as good as I thought it was during my high school years.First of all, it's hard for me to talk about this movie without comparing it to their last movie, "The Muppet Christmas Carol." They're almost the exact same movie, production wise that is. Think about it: they were made by the same film companies (Walt Disney Pictures & Jim Henson Productions); they're both based on classic books written by nineteenth-century English writers; the Muppets are sharing the spotlight with live British actors; and they're both made by almost the exact same people. Really! Look at the back of the video, DVD, or Blu-ray cases of these movies. They have the same writers, producers, director, editor, director of photographer, etc.!In fear that his legendary treasure map will fall in the wrong hands, Billy Bones gives the map to young Jim Hawkins. He and his friends, Gonzo and Rizzo, go to central England to find someone to fund the voyage to the treasure. Once this happens, they load the boat and meet the colorful characters on board: Long John Silver, his pet lobster Polly, Samuel Arrow, and Captain Abraham Smollett. What they don't know is Long John and some other pirates on board are planning on committing mutiny and taking the treasure for themselves.Like "The Muppets Christmas Carol," the movie follows the story pretty well. There are things that are changed around here (in fact I think this movie follows the book less than it does in the last movie), but you get the idea of the story. Another comparison between the two films is the Muppets share the spotlight with live actors, especially Tim Curry. Again, it's kind of weird, but it works OK. However, there is a difference between the two movies that makes me appreciate the other movie more than this one. The humor from "The Muppet Christmas Carol" created itself. It came based on the characters and situations as they occurred. Here, there are a lot of references to modern entertainment and pop culture. They reference the NBA, shopping networks, and Disneyland (or Disneyworld). For me, that's kind of annoying. The magic of "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is that they stayed in their time period. The story and the movie both are timeless enough to last forever; there's no reference to anything in modern pop culture - they just tell the story. Here, we're taken out of the magic because of the modern references. To be honest, that's my biggest problem with the movie. I think I'd enjoy the movie just as much as I did as a teenager if it weren't for those references.What do I like about the movie? This is something I should have mentioned in my review for "The Muppet Christmas Carol," but I like the world that's created here for the Muppets. What I mean by that is the Muppets live right beside the live humans here. In the earlier Muppet movies, the Muppets were always together. It was as if they lived together as a group, and the rest of the world had live humans, as if the Muppets were the odd ones. Here, the Muppets live right beside the humans. They live with them, they live like them, they live and walk in the same communities, they work together - much like the world created on "Sesame Street."I also like the relationship between Long John and Jim. It seems really genuine. You buy that these two are buddies. And, like in their last movie, I like that this movie has some dark moments (this one probably goes darker than the previous ones), and it's balanced with a some light-hearted moments. The songs are...OK. I love "Shiver My Timbers" and "Something More Than This." The other songs are OK, though "Love Led Us Here" seems really weird for this movie...or for the scene it was played in. I think it's very Disney-ish, as if the executives from Disney wanted this song to be in the film because there's always a romantic moment in Disney...That, and we need a moment between Kermit and Piggy.In closing, I like this movie. I think it's a good movie that tells the story of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" pretty well. It's a nice way to introduce the story to kids, and see the Muppets take on this story. Take a look and judge for yourself. BOOYIKA!

I remember watching this movie probably when it first came out and then every once in a while on the Disney Channel. I remember laughing every time. Eventually the movie slipped my mind and I hadn't watched it for about 6 years. When I rediscovered it I fell in love all over again! This movie is fantastic and very memorable. I read reviews about Muppet Treasure Island and it seems that it gets overlooked or is underrated. Any Muppet fan needs to see this movie, you will love it. Tim Curry as Long John Silver is wonderful. You can see how much fun he is having with the role. He put his heart into that role and has even been quoted as saying that this role is one of his favorites that he has ever done. Being able to act along puppets and make them seem real by interactions seems like a tough job and Tim Curry pulls it off wonderfully. The songs, cast, writing, jokes and everything with this movie makes it a classic for any Muppet fan of any age. My 4 year old cousin picks this movie whenever she can and she dances and laughs at the movie. 10/10 for any Muppet fan!

I am 16, and I absolutely love this movie. I absolutely love Muppets Christmas Carol as well, but here there is Tim Curry and a great storyline based on one of the best children's books ever. It is a little slow at the beginning, but that is the ONLY thing wrong with it. i can't believe the rating is so low for this movie, it should be more than a 6.5 surely. Don't rate it low because of the target audience, which is children. Believe me, adults will enjoy it too. The set designs as usual in a Muppet movie are splendid, and the songs by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil are fun, and are embedded with great jokes. My favourite is Professional Pirate, which has the best lines of the film, but Cabin Feaver is wonderfully upbeat as well. Tim Curry, the most underrated actor and performer alive today, gives an outstanding performance, that has only been surpassed by Pennywise the Dancing Clown and FrankNFurter. He is at his element here, and he even gives his trademark...The Cheshire Cat grin! The relationship between Silver and Hawkins, played by the immensely talented Kevin Bishop, was so well developed, that the ending seemed poignant.(I could see that both Curry and Bishop looked as though they were fighting back tears in that scene) In fact their relationship was developed better than it was in the book. The Muppets were excellent here, especially Gonzo and Rizzo, who never disappoint. There were some absentees and some additions, most notably Clueless Morgan. Kermit and Miss Piggy have a touching romance, that for once doesn't take too long. Billy Conolly gives an entertaining rendition of Billy Bones, and Jennifer Saunders was hysterical as Mrs Bluebridge. One word of advice; never watch the Muppets Wizard Of Oz! It is dreadful, and without doubt is the worst Muppet movie to date. Watch this though! You'll never regret it. Two Thumbs up and a 9/10. Bethany Cox.
