One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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.

Six years after the puppet legend's maniacal death of Staph Infection, His child quickly got away with the most dazzling Muppet film i've ever seen o_O, The story follows Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop) working at an inn alongside hotheaded innkeeper Mrs Blubridge (Jennifer Saunders). After his friend Billy Bones (Billy Connoly) Dies via 'The Black Spot' Jim and his two Muppet friends Gonzo & Rizzo quickly look for the treasure Billy was talking about. Alongside John Silver (Tim Curry (I Love this guy X3)) whom is really a cook but is sneakily abandoning Sam the Eagle just to claim the treasure of his own, For he had one leg that Billy warned Jim about. Moral: TRUSTING TIM CURRY IS A BIT...WELL...PENNYWISE!

'Muppet Treasure Island' is a 1996 film released by Walt Disney Pictures (second released by Disney after 'The Muppet Christmas Carol') and Jim Henson Productions, based on the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Starring Kermit the Frog as Captain Smollett and Miss Piggy as Benjamina Gunn (Ben Gunn in the book) and Kevin Bishop as Jim Hawkins. A tale as only the Muppets can tell, they set sail for a treasure with a crew of cutthroat pirates and scallywags.This is in fact, the first and only Muppet film where someone dies (Billy Bones played by Billy Connolly at the hotel). Tim Curry is genius as the notorious Long John Silver, he plays the part well. Altogether, this film is worth the watch, but not the best film of the Muppet franchise. It deserves a solid 9 out of 10. Kids will most likely enjoy the film, as will some adults who enjoy the Muppets.

i remember seeing this movie in the cinemas when i was a kid and unfortunately never had the opportunity to see it again until recently. i was finding movies to buy and i had told my sister once i wanted it. she came to me and showed me she had found it and without a second thought i bought it.we watched it that afternoon and i was in such a good mood watching it. from small appearances by Billy Connolly play Billy Bones to Tim Curry playing Long John Silver was great. the muppets spin on this classic tale was a lot of fun to watch. the muppets truly did well with this movie.this movie will be enjoyed by all the family young and old, soft and tough. you cannot go wrong with this.
