Nostalgic Muppet fun

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

Classic muppets with my favorite childhood song Rainbow Connection. Definitely worth $3.99 to have it on DVD. It was delivered quickly and in perfect condition. I hadn’t seen the movie since I was a kid myself, but still watchable for the new generation as lots of gags and jokes still land. Very happy with this purchase.

Synopsis of the plot (SPOILERS): a talent agent hears Kermit singing Rainbow Connection, and tells Kermit he should be in movies. Kermit sets off on a cross-country road trip to Hollywood and meets the Muppets at various stops along the way. Meanwhile, restaurant owner Doc Hopper wants Kermit to be his spokesperson for his frog-leg restaurant chain, and will use any means necessary to make that happen. Kermit’s refusal “all I can think of is poor frogs on crutches” is one of my favorite darkly funny asides for adults, although it also operates as a straight line for kids. Once the group gets to Hollywood they make the movie that we have been watching all along. Singing, 1970s-movie-star-cameos, and tons of muppet humor, what’s not to like?

Wonderful, but would have aged better without the celebrity cameos

I mean, how many people under 40 even know who Bob Hope was? Still a great flick, though.

Childhood Magic (for Adults, too)

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

This movie is my childhood. Every Christmas -- or thereabouts -- it would be shown on broadcast TV (in an age where a young child like myself had no other option to watch it). And every year I would watch it, and enjoy all of the things children do about the Muppets.

Now as an adult, I can report that this movie has grown with me. Now I can appreciate some of the underlying trepidation and melancholy that a child would never even notice. (How would you describe the tone of Gonzo's haunting desert song? And what do you suppose is the "voice that calls the young sailor," that possibly draws Kermit on to his own destiny? And why does the movie set fall apart in the final sequence of the film? These are not questions for a child to consider, let alone answer.)

But forget all that. It's there, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is that this film is beautiful, and if you hold the beauty of childhood within your heart -- at any age -- this movie can reach you.

for the young and old, but may want to skip over some parts

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014

Got this for my toddler son. He loves it. There are some parts I skip over, just not the most appropriate for young child. It makes me think, wow I watched this as such a young child and many hidden innuendo's that I do not remember seeing as a kid.

It is a fun movie to watch with my son, and he enjoys the singing and theatrics- keeps him engaged and he laughs at all the right times, which is so cute.

I will say, I had trouble with the orders, and am awaiting my fourth order- I have spoken with Amazon, through their CHAT option, and it was pretty easy to do, no problems with refund and the CHAT option was quick and easy. Talking to the people on the other end of the chat seemed easier than talking by phone.

the first DVD came with a big scratch, the second came as a blue-ray rather than dvd, and the instant video i purchased, stopped midstream several times.

In a few days, we should be getting a usable copy of that DVD. Keeping fingers crossed.

The media could not be loaded.

This movie is absolutely fun to watch and it definitely has some heartwarming moments. Love the storyline on how Kermit and the rest of the Muppets got their start in the entertainment industry. HD restoration and sound are incredible. The special features/mockumentary features are also fun to watch. This movie for sure keeps the attention of the audience. The kids of my family enjoy this movie very much. Nice to see this movie continue to attract new fans in 2023 as the kids in my family were born 4 decades after this movie was made as I write this review.

Bel film. Regalato a mia moglie che cercava qualche film dei Muppets in italiano. Purtroppo ce ne sono disponibili pochissimi nella nostra lingua e non sono riuscito a trovare il film che voleva più di tutti, il "Canto di Natale" dei Muppets.
Comunque le è piaciuto moltissimo perchè narra l'inizio della loro storia....devo dire che è piaciuto anche a me. Sono fantastici!

Esta edición del Reino Unido aún indicando en la carátula, en su parte trasera, que contiene un doblaje en "spanish", debo avisar que contiene el doblaje latino con el que se emitió en las televisiones de España en la década de los 80 y 90. No obstante nunca hubo un doblaje en castellano. Así que lleva el único doblaje que los hispanohablantes conocemos, y he de decir que es un doblaje con bastante buena calidad. La imagen sin ninguna alarde cumple con creces lo esperado y en ningún momento sufre ningún defecto de los que suelen tener los negativos de esta época que son volcados a formato digital. Como único extra lleva un pequeño documental sobre la rana Gustavo que si bien es simpático sabe a poco. La película en si narra el viaje de Gustavo y en busca de su sueño. Sin desvelar demasiado del argumento diremos que podemos ver a todos los Teleñecos habidos y por haber en su salsa. Nadie se quedará fuera. La canción principal de la película fue nominada a los Oscar y en general toda la banda sonora, ya sea cantada o no, raya a gran altura. Una película deliciosa para grandes y pequeños.
