Had it on VHS as a child, and since we didn’t have cable I wore that tape OUT! I think it’s forgotten/underrated in the muppet movie canon, but it’s got great performances by the human actors, by the muppets, and it’s got a great moral about finding yourself and loving yourself for being yourself - Gonzo (who is top 5 muppet for me) is a great vehicle for that message, and it’s just always stuck with me to this day Plus, incredible soundtrack, lots of George Clinton and funk music, cannot be beat
a Fundamentally flawed film in its awkward dialogue, pacing and arguably whole concept. however there is just something about it that’s so special – the uncanny nature of the practical/CGI effect combination, the childish portrayal of the monsters, the magical realism / coming of age crossover (never been a more goated genre combo). put this on and vibe out, maybe have a cry on behalf of your childhood self, listen to animal collective after.
