June 16, 2011A fabulous Muppet spoof of pirate movies, it's fun for all ages. This is an hilarious musical comedy. And it stars Tim Curry as Long John Silver! Finally we get to see him play a singing pirate. I love this movie, and I highly recommend it.

January 30, 2010I don't really remember it all that well but it was a little obivous, a little overdone and the absence of a strong lead actor is obivous. Tim Curry is always good though.

September 22, 2009I was so glad when this came out as I thought the Muppets had gone for good. I liked it but I wanted the Muppets to do their own thing like in the originals and not re-tell an old classic stories!

May 22, 2009This story was perfect for Muppet conversion. The whole thing is so right, Curry is great as usual, the songs are good and the look is just right for the Muppet world, a close one next to Christmas carol for effects and looks.

Floyd: Oh, hey, man. Just play the gig. Never get involved in politics.
Animal: Politics! Politics!

The humor is up to Muppet par, with physical comedy, puns, running jokes, and layered gags...Muppet Treasure Island is grand family entertainment. [new DVD review]

There's a gaping hole with Jim gone, however his son directs with great energy, and it's almost impossible not to like Tim Curry and a bunch of Muppets on a reasonably literary pirate ship.

Disappointing Muppet movie. Too much Treasure Island, not enough Muppets.

Lively, enjoyable Muppet madness

Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
Pirates and the Muppets turn out to be a natural fit, even without the late Jim Henson.
