Muppets – Die Schatzinsel (1996)

Muppets – Die Schatzinsel: Directed by Brian Henson, David Lane. With Tim Curry, Billy Connolly, Jennifer Saunders, Kevin Bishop. The Muppets’ twist on the classic tale.

“Although this film has taken quite a beating since its release, I fail to understand why. The songs are catchy, the script is hilarious, and the performances are stellar.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLetu0026#39;s start with the music. Whether itu0026#39;s the wonderfully fun u0026quot;Cabin Fever,u0026quot; the touching u0026quot;Love Led Us Here,u0026quot; or another one of the wide array of tunes, nobody can say that they are inferior to any other Muppets melodies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe script is full of one liners and clever dialogue that never grows old, delivered by a cast and vocal talents who are incredibly talented. Tim Curry, sinister and wonderful as ever, plays Long John Silver to perfection. Billy Connolly is also worth mentioning, despite his brief appearance in the film. And young Jim Hawkins is just as he should be, albeit surrounded by a crew of muppet pirates.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is my favorite Muppet film, and I think everybody should give it a try and embrace a different sort of humor-filled extravaganza.”
