The Muppets

Who remembers these guys?

Jim Henson had some great ideas with The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets Take Manhattan, and even after he died his son Brian did a good job following after him, I thought, with Muppet Treasure Island and even A Muppet Christmas Carol. Then there was Muppets from Space, which was okay, nothing great, but then the new movie came out, A Very Merry Muppet Christmas, and the magic, that Henson spark, was just gone, and from there to the Muppet Wizard of Oz to whatever they've done recently...it really breaks my heart that any Muppet movie coming out now is nothing must-see but rather must-avoid-at-all-costs. I think Jim Henson, like Walt Disney, if he knew what had become of all his hard work and his legacy, he'd be spinning 360s in his grave.

How about everyone else? Which of the movies are your favorites?

The Muppets Take Manhattan was my favorite. I have it on tape somewhere around here. I loved when the rats started working at the diner.

It wasn't a "Muppet" movie. I prefered Labyrinth.

I can only take them in very small dosages. I liked the Muppet cartoon show when I was a kid, but didn't care for The Muppet Show. I liked the Muppets Take Manhattans, but every other muppet movie I saw I was bored with.

That's odd, as a kid I found The Muppets Take Manhattan to be the most boring movie, except for the end when they put on the show. Of them all, my favorites were The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island.
