- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It’s Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat who make Muppet Treasure Island, the Muppets musical adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson, novel a hoot.
-
"In this sendup of Treasure Island, there are no compelling heroes or villains, and the suspense is minimal"
-
"Jim Henson's creations have always appealed on more than one level, offering adorable playmates and positive messages to children and surprisingly sophisticated humor to adults."
-
"Director Brian Henson transforms Robert Louis Stevenson's classic into a splashy spectacle with sword fights and flamboyant calypso numbers"
-
"The frog and the pig are worth waiting for. And like all great thespians, they leave you wanting more."
-
"Perhaps it is time for the folks at Jim Henson Productions to start thinking up original stories again, or at least find material that lends itself to the Muppets' overall strengths"
-
"While the picture is often pure delight, and constantly inventive and engaging, ultimately it is not up to the highest standards of the troupe"
