Critics Consensus

Though less Muppet-centric than the original trilogy, Muppet Treasure Island is an energetic, cheerful take on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure, with typically solid gags.

3/4

The Muppets have taken to the high seas, and Jolly Roger was never jollier. Borrowing only slightly more than the title from the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, Kermit and Co. turn a couple of hours at the movies into a day at the beach.

You may not be able to squeeze brine out of a stone, but you can, apparently, squeeze those cuddly Muppets till a bit more treasure trickles out. As much as we love them, it's tough watching inanimate objects cruelly exploited.

4/5

Muppet Treasure Island confirms what The Muppet Christmas Carol suggested -- that the Muppet legacy, that staple of childhood for two generations now, really has been passed into capable hands.

A pleasure from start to finish, Muppet Treasure Island orchestrates people, puppets, shameless gags and sublimely ridiculous production numbers to wryly rework Robert Louis Stevenson's classic kids' tale.

Parents and older kids are likely to love it. The younger ones may be left at sea.

This was probably one of the most annoying movies I've ever watched with my grandson. Why the movie diverged so far from the book is beyond me. The only saving grace of the movie was the actor for young Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop). They substitute the mother with a mean innkeeper, there's an absurd tourist area on treasure island, they have Jim Hawkins giving Long John Silver the treasure map on the boat, they have Jim Hawkins abducted by LJS from the Hispaniola, and on and on it goes. You couldn't pay me to watch it again.
