theories. They capture the weird creature who is supposedly from space and its up to the rest of the muppets and Gonzos clever thinking to find his alien family.
They all work as a team bringing comedy, stupidness and touching 'muppet' moments! This film is for the family, the kids love it, the adults try not to laugh but end up in hysterics and the tough teenagers get a laugh out of this too! Do they or don't they find Gonzos family....?

A DVD of the old school Muppets puppets from Jim Henson.
For those who are not quite sure what a 'muppet' is you'll be sure to recognise them immediately from their 'odd' appearance and although most of them are modeled on real creatures, for example Kermit is a frog, and miss piggy is a pig, they don't look much like real animals at all. The loud colours of thier fur/ skin/ scales, combined with an upright posture and bulging popping out eyes can actually scare children despite simply being puppets made of foam.
The ones you are most likely to have heard of are: Kermit the Frog (he's the whimpish one who always gets hit by the stroppy pig), Miss Piggy (that stroppy pig), Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Big Bird (aka seasame street icon), Bert and Ernie, Elmo, and Oscar the Grouch. Although you don't get to see a huge variety in characters in ...

Review
A smart, lively musical farce... Henson's mix of grown-up humor and endearingly humanlike characters make this a must-have... (Entertainment Weekly, )
The last word in 'road pictures'... We very quickly come to accept the Muppets as real people who just happen to be made largely of felt (New York Times, )
THE MUPPET MOVIE is a winner.... The puppets prove highly attractive... A love of films and showbiz is apparent in every frame and gives THE MUPPET MOVIE a touch of class... (Variety, )
