It's the Muppets at their very best. It opens with a Kermit singing the classic "Rainbow Connection", and just gets better from there. All Muppet enthusiasts MUST check it out...and look for all the late 70's celebrity cameos.... Full review

I like all of them but I have to say the first Muppet movie is the best one! Great acting and good ending. I also think it has a great DVD. The Anniversay edition DVD is great. Go own the DVD!... Full review

Muppets are awesome in everything they do. There is not one that isn’t awesome. The chef that throws the chickens and says hindy-bindy-shpberden is probably my favorite but I also love the big guy that looks like one of the monsters... Full review

While some of the humor and jokes seems dated, the film remains enjoyable and fun. The film, released in 1979, is still highly enjoyable and emotional for both children and adults. ... Full Review

In the end, The Muppet Movie is a fun film that will entertain many. Ultimately, the soundtrack for The Muppet Movie earned about a "B" for its subdued but more-than-adequate-for-the-era soundfield, but the thin and drab audio quality dropped into "C-" territory. ... Full Review

By this, the road movie was still viable and fresh. The Muppet Movie" has never suffered, still one of many great reasons to be a movie buff. The songs by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher also create genuine emotion. ... Full Review
