I understand Muppet purists who, when they see post-Henson Muppet properties, get all up in arms and say shit like, "How DARE you! This is not my Muppets! My Muppets are so camp they would make RuPaul cringe!" What I'm saying is, this is really good because it's probably the best distillation of what the Muppets are as a form of entertainment -- even though I prefer some of their later concoctions better.

The living proof that puppets are for everyone, not just kids. A heartwarming, beautifully shot and incredibly mature story. The puppetry is so well done, that the Muppets feel like real people. It is the living example, of what a family film should be.

The songs all suck, and the movie is all over the place, but the fact that the plot and the jokes are so out of left field makes it sort of enjoyable too.

The Muppet Movie is pure Henson magic. The jokes still hold up today. The amazing puppetry effects are as solid as ever. The cameos are for the most part all on point. The emotion is raw and accessible for children. Everything about this film just screamed joyful in the best way possible.

Unashamedly silly but rarely laugh-out-loud funny (though I did laugh when the Swedish Chef was shown running the movie projector), this is a fun movie about friendship and pursuing your dreams. More about the journey than the destination, it was fitting when Orson Welles as the studio executive simply and anticlimactically said, "give them the standard rich-and-famous contract". Lots of fun cameos.

The Muppet Movie is the original and the best. The Muppet show was before my time, but I grew up with the Muppet movies and with this first film in particular there is a warmth and nostalgia that has stood the test of time. From the memorable songs to the loveable characters, this is a thoroughly enjoyable family fillm. The humour is wonderfully self aware and the cameos are brilliant too. The sequels that follow may be of mixed quality, but this original film is always worth revisiting.

A true delight for Muppets fan, like myself, or fans of the comedy genre at all. Muppets Movie reunites a cast of famous puppets for a journey of epic proportions and has some of the best comedy of the 20th century along the way. Its pacing is a little weird and it leaned on some odd directorial choices but nothing dealbreaking. An amazing ride.
