Ahoy, matey! Get ready for hilarity on the high seas with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the Muppets in this exciting first-ever action-adventure, inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate tale. When young Jim Hawkins inherits a long-lost treasure map, he hires the great ship Hispaniola to seek his fortune. With the good Captain Smollett (Kermit the Frog) at the helm –- and greedy Long John Silver (Tim Curry) at the heart of a dastardly plot -- they set sail for adventure only to discover danger at every turn! Featuring a rollicking score by Academy Award(R) winner Hans Zimmer (1995, Best Original Score, THE LION KING), this fully restored and remastered 50th Anniversary Edition of MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND is a fun-packed, music-filled swashbuckler the entire family will enjoy over and over.~~(c) The Muppets Holding Company, LLC and BVHE.

muppets rule
I have always been a Muppet fan and was privaliged to have been raised on Sesame Street. Brian Henson has what his father Jim Henson had, A wonderful imagination and sense of humor. If you take the Muppet movies too literally you miss the point, just enjoy.

Great
I have been looking for this movie for so long now. It was brand new. So 5/5

Not Happy
This dvd only played through once before it started skipping like crazy. I am very disappointed with this purchase. I paid close to $20 for this dvd that is by no means in good condition. My son loved the story so much that I've purchased another one from another website for $10 less than I paid here & it's brand new.

Muppet Treasure Island
Our family loves the Muppets and Tim Curry does a terrific job of being the main villain pirate. He's absolutely amazing.

Fun, Adorable movie!
My kids absolutely love this movie, and so do I. The Muppets are great as always, and the classic story of Treasure Island with a Muppet twist, humans mingling with Muppets as if they naturally belong together, is really fun to watch.

Still a decent Muppet Movie
A lot of people panned this selection from the recent Muppet Movie installments, but I remain a fan and like the movie quite a bit. Gonzo and Rizzo once again man the narration helm and Tim Curry makes a great Long John Silver. The music is good, but is definately a touchy spot as some of the vocal ranges do not seem quite right. Just make sure you keep your mind out of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" when watching Curry strut and sing.

Muppets
Fun DVD. I watch it while using the treadmill. My husband actually watched it also - really enjoyed it. I bought it for my grandchildren when they visit. Unfortunately my granddaughter has scarfed all the other Muppet movies and taken them home with her :-) This is another keeper... til she visits again ! :-) Better this than some of the other "stuff" that is out there.

kool
Just to make it simple, i love this movie since i was young, its great to see this in a widescreen edtion, and for the people that like seeing it in Full Screen "im not sure why" there is in option to switch it to full screen.
The thing about this Anniversary edition, you dont get the kool behind the scene stuff, well they do have it for the earlier dvds but they are in full screen. "drag."

Offers Both WIDESCREEN and FULL SCREEN versions
I adore this movie, and was relieved to find it finally released in widescreen (a full screen version is also included for people who still don't "get it.")

I've watched it several times, and still have "Cabin Fever"!

Mindless Fun
If you're looking for an oscar worthy performance, show stopping graphics and thought provoking dialogue...then please look elsewhere. However, if you've had a cruddy day and are looking for something brainless and silly to cheer you up- this is the movie for you. I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid many moons ago and I hid my dog-earred VHS copy from friends for years. But the time has come to proudly proclaim my love for this film! It perhaps lacks the wit of earlier muppet films and I could do without the strange mulleted child they found to play the part of Jim, but this sweet, charming movie always puts a smile on my face.
