Favorite Muppet Movies Anyone?

tomservo95 · 03-24-2012, 07:18 PM

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

The Muppet Movie(1979)

**Jester** · 03-24-2012, 07:30 PM

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.

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.

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.

Definitely last year's. Fantastic movie.

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

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 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?!

"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."

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.

The Muppets and The Muppets Take Manhattan.

*Slap-Happy* · 03-24-2012, 10:16 PM

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

*oldmanwinters* · 03-24-2012, 10:19 PM

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** · 03-24-2012, 10:22 PM

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