Favorite Muppet Movies Anyone?

[tomservo95]

I love them all but my absolute fave has to be Great Muppet Caper. What are your favorites?

The Muppet Movie(1979)

[Jester]

Jim Era it's gotta be the original. I love the songs, and it's just a fun flick.

Post Jim...probably a tie between Muppet Christmas carol (one of my favorite, if not the favorite version of the story) and the new Muppets from last year.

[Bauer536]

I like a few of them. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would be The Muppet Christmas Carol. Michael Caine was an excellent Scrooge, and the songs were memorable. It was very well done. It felt like a Muppet crossover because Caine could have done Scrooge in a regular Christmas Carol film if there ever was one.:tsmile:

The first three Muppet films were good, too. Did not like Muppet Treasure Island. Not the best one out there. Muppets From Space was fun, but not the best. Muppets Wizard of Oz - Sorry. That one looked silly. Still, I need to purchase the new Muppets film. I haven't seen that one yet.

[Hannah]

Definitely last year's. Fantastic movie.

[Peanut]

The Muppet Movie is the best for me. Numerous reasons, most of them based on nostalgia. The Muppets was fantastic, though. Loved it.

[Jester]

Does Sesame Street Presents: Follow that Bird count?

Not that it's my favorite Muppet movie, but it does hold a special place in my childhood.

[The Stryker]

The Muppet Movie. I pretty much watched that movie non-stop when I was real young. KERMIT'S LEGS ON THE BIKE! HOW'D THEY DO THAT?!

[TurtleTitan97]

KERMIT'S LEGS ON THE BIKE! HOW'D THEY DO THAT?!

"To have Kermit ride a bicycle in a full-body shot, a Kermit doll with legs was posed onto the seat and his legs and arms were attached to the pedals and handlebars. An overhead crane with a marionette system held the bicycle through strong strings invisible to the camera, guiding the bicycle forward. The crane and system was out of the camera's frame of vision."

[Roseangelo]

Definitely the original Muppet Movie. That's one of my favorite movies of all time.

I'm quite fond of "Muppets Take Manhattan," myself. Possibly because it includes a "live-action" Muppet Babbies scene.

[Ashangelo]

The Muppets and The Muppets Take Manhattan.

[Slap-Happy]

Muppets Take Manhattan and The Great Muppet Caper have always been my favorites.

[oldmanwinters]

Any fans of Henson's "Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas" here? I can't help but love that film everytime I see it.

[Jester]

I need to watch it. I meant to this Christmas, but it kinda snuck up on me. :P

The Muppet Movie(1979)
Xerox .

[BubblyShell22]

I like The Muppet Movie, A Muppet Christmas Carol. and Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. I don't remember The Great Muppet Caper very much though. I want to see the latest one that's out on DVD though. It looks pretty good.

[zkarlette]

Always nice to see a Drome OG back in the house!

Glad to see you to Peanut !! :D

[SherlockJr]

The original Muppet Movie from 1979. Tons of great songs and cameos.

[Raph's Girl]

Muppets Take Manhatten and The Labrynth

[Jester]

Muppets Take Manhatten and The Labrynth
If The Labyrinth counts...then TMNT counts. :P

[zkarlette]

Then the dark crystal counts too ! Which by the way used to freak me out back in the day:ohwell:

[Shreddhead]

I remember enjoying Muppet Treasure Island when it came out, but i think Tim Curry was a major reason why. If i went back and re-watched it today I'm sure it wouldn't be as good as i remember.

[Zany Orange Dude]

Gotta go with the first one! Funny, touching, inspirational! I mean come on, it has Mel Brooks in it! That alone makes it epic!:twink::tgrin:

[Jester]

[shezcrafti]

Definitely Muppets Take Manhattan. My fave, hands down.

I get misty when they sing "Saying Goodbye."

I know, I know. I'm a huge sap.

[Candy Kappa]

I've not seen a Muppet movie, just the muppets show.

does the dark crystal count?

This plays through my mind every time I have to part ways with a dear friend on account of geographic relocation.

I also love Kermit's epic "You hear that, New York? The Frog is Stayin'!" bit.

[Zany Orange Dude]

It's not very original, but I get a little watery eyed when Kermit sings Rainbow Connection and when Gonzo sings I'm Going to go Back There Someday.

All this talk about the Muppets make me wish I could have met Henson before he died. Also reminds me of this pic of Mickey comferting Kermit the year he died.

[LeoNerdo]

Favorite overall is The Muppet Movie with Muppets Take Manhattan a close second. From the Disney era my favs are Muppet Treasure Island & Muppet Christmas carol, though I reeaaaaallly love The Muppet Show & Muppet Babies the most. The newest film was good but felt a little lacking. It was mostly the lack of Frank Oz and his voice I think.

[gobo]

I still think The Muppets (2011) is the best that Disney has ever done with the property.
does the dark crystal count?
No. This thread really should have been a poll to avoid this confusion. Only movies featuring more than one of the puppets from The Muppet Show count.

[oldmanwinters]

Didn't Jim Henson do a Muppets Christmas TV movie where they were snowed in and the Seasme Street crew just randomly showed up? I can't remember what that one was called.

Speaking of Jim Henson Christmas specials, does anybody else remember "The Christmas Toy (www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwhiOZdTTCo)" (1986). It had a similar premise to the later Toy Story movies, although the penalty for a toy getting "seen" by a human was immediate "death." Cute movie... but kinda depressing too!

[mysterycolor]

"a muppet family christmas" is my absolute favorite ♥

[Zany Orange Dude]

I also really enjoyed a Muppets Christmas Carol, especially the bloopers.:tlol: Those were hysterical!

[UsagiYojimbo]

I like the original 3 by Henson (and the latest "Muppets" also). If you really want to get choked up... go to YouTube and watch Big Bird singing at Henson's funeral. :cry:

[Zany Orange Dude]

Oh God, I bawled watching the video of Big Bird at his funeral! Even the guy voicing Big Bird got choked up while singing! Talk about touching!:tsad:

Jim Henson maybe gone, but his legacy will be forever as long as we remember him. I almost cried when I heard Kermit sing a tribute to him called " A Boy and His Frog".

That got me, the medley of his favorite songs got me, but what gets me every time is this:
