Davis P Muppet Treasure Island (1996) is a very fun muppet adventure film. It has good characters played by talented actors who can portray them well, like Tim Curry for example. The chemistry between the characters is good, both muppet and human. I especially Tim curry as Long John Silver and Kevin Bishop as Jim Hawkins, they both portrayed their characters well and had good natural chemistry on screen together. The script contained both humorous moments and more dramatic/sentimental content. The action, much like with the great muppet caper (1981) is mild and somewhat comical. It's fitting and safe for family viewing. The film as a whole comes highly suggested for the entire family to watch and have fun with. Because at it's core, that really is what this film is all about, having some fun. Having fun and being entertained that is, which you will experience in this movie. It pretty much follows the exact treasure island formula just with muppet characters mixed in and toned down some in order to make it suitable for younger children and families. 8/10 for muppet treasure island. Pretty well made film.

SnoopyStyle The Muppets gang try on this classic story with pirate treasure. It's got the irreverent sense of humor. That's definitely the good part of this movie.The less good is the bland boy lead Kevin Bishop. He's acceptable but just nothing special. The same can be said of the songs. It's just not memorable.The biggest sin of this movie must be the late entrance of both Kermit and Miss Piggy. How dare they treat Kermit as a secondary character. And Miss Piggy doesn't even get in till much much much later. That's a crime against pigmanity. I was wondering if they cut her out entirely.

MARIO GAUCI Though it does not have the reputation of its predecessors, this is perhaps the most consistently entertaining Muppet movie so far; like the previous entry, MUPPET Christmas CAROL (1992), it transposes the lovable 'characters' into the environment of a popular children's classic – in this case, R.L. Stevenson's quintessential pirate yarn "Treasure Island". Unlike the Dickens tale, this particular plot had never before been attempted as a musical (much less a lampoon)…but, for the most part, it retains the flavor of the original (despite innumerable modern interjections and in-jokes that sometimes fall flat) and proves surprisingly faithful (with the obvious modification so as to accommodate Miss Piggy). She appears as Benjamina Gunn, while Kermit is the 'fearsome' Captain Smollett (with Sam Eagle as his first-mate who likes to anticipate his would-be ruthless commands). Though usually the major figures in a Muppet show, Kermit and Miss Piggy (their best bit involves them hanging over a precipice, with the former's eyeballs virtually bursting out of their sockets as he valiantly holds the latter by her feet) are overshadowed here by Rizzo the Rat – who, apart from being perennially hungry (as was his custom), is instilled with a cynical outlook and nervous demeanor but also a shrewd business sense (turning the "Hispaniola" into the poor man…er…mouse's cruise liner)! – and a dopey-looking pirate goat appropriately dubbed "Clueless". Also notable, though, is the vicious Blind Pew (who prefers to address his particular affliction in modern parlance i.e. "visually challenged"!); The Great Gonzo is basically no more than his weird-looking self (and that is all he needs to be, really), but Fozzie Bear is a hoot as the self-proclaimed "half-wit" son of Squire Trelawney (who has named and carries conversation with his index finger!). On the human front, we get two name actors – Tim Curry as an adequately roguish Long John Silver and Billy Connolly (with heavy Scots accent intact) as Billy Bones; the kid playing Jim Hawkins acquits himself well enough, too, and there is a hilarious running-gag early on involving the female inn-keeper's acute sense of hearing. Typically, the songs are no great shakes per se but serve their purpose for the duration.

Siloty 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.
