At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Alright, so this isn't very good. The kid is in over his head, the songs are fairly mediocre, & the direction is egregiously lazy. But can we just appreciate how perfect Curry is within the Muppet universe? He totally buys in to the idea of talking puppet-creatures, and he makes such a charismatic pirate. Still, neither he, nor the sardonic and anarchic Muppet humor, can make this any better than "meh".

My favorite Muppet Film, watched with my son many, many times. Suitable for adults and children alike. Humorous film with great catchy songs and a good performance from Tim Curry. Still keeps the story of the original Treasure Island classic going while bringing fun and humour to the captains table. Tunes like "Cabin Fever" are memorable and bring a smile to the face. I remember the film was launched in the UK in Bristol at the same time as the " Festival Of The Sea " which was a festival to mark Bristol's nautical past and of course has connections with Robert Louis Stephenson's Classic book. If you have children or just love the Muppets this is the film for you. Billy Connolly also makes an appearance in this film and of course the Muppets as usual have their own characters and sometimes you just forget that they are just puppets. Well written and a memorable film.

The Muppets gang try on this classic story with pirate treasure. It's got the irreverent sense of humor. That's definitely the good part of this movie.The less good is the bland boy lead Kevin Bishop. He's acceptable but just nothing special. The same can be said of the songs. It's just not memorable.The biggest sin of this movie must be the late entrance of both Kermit and Miss Piggy. How dare they treat Kermit as a secondary character. And Miss Piggy doesn't even get in till much much much later. That's a crime against pigmanity. I was wondering if they cut her out entirely.

Director Brian Henson gives us the fifth Muppet movie with Muppet Treasure Island. The film follows Jim Hawkins played by Kevin Bishop receiving a treasure map after his father Billy Bones played by Billy Connely dies. Jim meets Long John Silver played by Tim Curry who wants the map for himself. The muppets are really funny in this film, the musical performances are spot on, and Tim Curry is as encentric as ever. Although in this film The muppets really don't have a lot to work with, the film is a little to violent for small children, and Miss Piggy does not show up until 1hr 6min in the movie. Despite all the negatives i still recommend this film.Rated G.1hr 40min/100min.***/****
