Gerrit H @Gerrit Feb 8 This was probably one of the most annoying movies I've ever watched with my grandson. Why the movie diverged so far from the book is beyond me. The only saving grace of the movie was the actor for young Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop). They substitute the mother with a mean innkeeper, there's an absurd tourist area on treasure island, they have Jim Hawkins giving Long John Silver the treasure map on the boat, they have Jim Hawkins abducted by LJS from the Hispaniola, and on and on it goes. You couldn't pay me to watch it again. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Feb 3 The worldwide gross is $34,327,391.00. See more Brandon F. @bfulk Dec 17 Here’s an informed opinion. See more Wayne K Mar 21 The cinematic follow up to one of my favourite films of all time, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island was never going to have the same appeal as the previous film, considering I didn’t get round to watching it until well into my 30s. But the franchise has survived for so long because of its inventiveness and wide appeal, and with this being an adaptation of one of the most famous books ever written, it feels like a perfect match. Many have spoken about how Tim Curry is the ideal actor to appear in a movie like this because the man is basically a live action Muppet, and its hard to disagree. He looks like he’s having a whale of a time, and as a result, we do too. The Muppet characters all fit well into their respective rolls, and having the droll duo of Rizzo and Gonzo at the forefront provides some of the films biggest laughs. It doesn’t have a great deal of songs, and as a result its easier to distinguish them, and each are fun and memorable. The story takes quite a few twists and turns towards the end, but it’s never difficult to follow what’s going on. It’s a film that knows it’s audience, what they expect and how to deliver it. Not the finest Muppet outings, but a barrel of laughs nonetheless. See more Zander K @ZanderKrout 01/22/2025 I grew up watching this movie and loved it. I recently rewatched and it was still funny and witty. If you have children please show them this masterpiece!! See more james j 01/11/2025 Lots of people are talking about the original 6 Muppets movies. For me, the Muppets movies are this one and the Christmas Carol. Currie's performance in this is no less than Caine's in Christmas Carol. The songs are better, and you know it. I love this movie so much, and I always will. Getting a critic to review this film is like getting vegetarian to review a Sunday roast. They are wrong and this film is a must see. There is a podcast called how did this get made, this film will never appear on it because it is fantastic, Muppets forever ( but mainly this film and Christmas Carol). See more Read all reviews
