Great energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, but it doesn't have a story that does justice to the production. Full Review
Fabulous fantasy from the godfather of modern puppetry Jim Henson. Full Review
A remarkable achievement. Full Review
Jim Henson's instinctive grasp of what kids like extends to scaring the bejeezus out of them by turning Muppets into a menagerie of weirdness. Full Review
