MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND
by Brian Henson. 1996. 99 min.
Brian Henson’s beloved musical adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s swashbuckling adventure. Kermit takes the helm as Captain Smollett, journeying for adventure with a crew of Muppets and young Jim Hawkins’s map setting the course. But something’s a little off with that new peg-legged cook, Long John Silver (Tim Curry). Oh, and did we mention island goddess Miss Piggy and her band of wild boars?
