Product Description

Broadway bound. The Muppets Take Manhattan by storm in this magical musical about breaking into show business! Fresh out of college, Kermit, Fozzie, and the entire cast of Kermit's musical "Manhattan Melodies" head for the Big Apple with plans to turn their small play into a big hit! All they need now is someone to produce their show! But when no one in town will even meet with them, it's up to Kermit to believe hard enough for all of his friends that the show will go on! Family entertainment has never been more fun than in this comedy marking Frank Oz's solo directorial debut.

Amazon.com

Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, and the rest of the Muppets are celebrating their impending graduation from college by performing Kermit's original musical Manhattan Melodies for their senior variety show. Following graduation, the friends decide to take the production to Broadway, but things don't go quite as planned. They end up living in bus station lockers and hanging out at a local restaurant while waiting for their Broadway dream to become a reality. Eventually, the gang loses hope, everyone goes their separate ways, and Kermit is left alone in New York City. After his initial disillusionment, Kermit rallies and develops a three-step plan to get his play onto the Broadway stage. The question is, will it work? And even if the play makes it to Broadway, will it be too late to reunite all the Muppets? The Muppets Take Manhattan is full of fun song and dance, the puppetry is great, and New York scenery abounds at every turn. Add a generous handful of guest cameos featuring famous personalities like Liza Minnelli, Joan Rivers, Dabney Coleman, and Vincent Sardi--cameos that were written not just as showcases, but as integral parts of the plot--and the talented Frank Oz making his directing debut, and this 1984 production earns its position as one of the classic Muppet Movies. The 2011 Blu-ray offers pretty good picture quality, but the most notable improvement from the previous DVD release is that the interview with Jim Henson, which was originally spliced into 14 separate menu segments, can now be watched individually or as one continuous (albeit still choppy) feature. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

The Muppets on Broadway

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2006

In this 3rd movie of the Muppet series, they are hitting the road, and going to New York, but while they are taking Manhattan, I sure hope they return it when they are doen with it. This is the last Muppet movie that the late Jim Henson did, the series returned after his death with the Muppet Christmas Carol. But also imange what would be like for the Muppets to disband, and well you have this movie, which may not be the best one they have done. The Muppet perfromers for this movie are Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, Steve Whitmire, and Richard Hunt. When the movie begins, the Muppets are perfoming in a colege theatre of thier show "Matthan Melodies" and they are just about to graudate for college. But while Kermit the Frog is onstage, when the show is over, the rest of the Muppets decide that thier show is good enough to take it to the next step, and that is broadway in case you have just joined us. But they then Kermit can't believe what they decided, but gets talked into it, so they head to broadway. Now they need is a producer, and looking through the ads, thier first one (Dabney Coleman) seems intersted, but wants the Muppets to pay him $300 each, I guess what he does get is they are just about flat broke, so how do they plan to get thier show on broadway? They keep trying with servel other producers, but one by one, they keep closing thier office door, which leads Kermit to get frusted, and he says that the Muppets depend on them to much. And with barely any money, they stop off at a restuarant, and while Kermit is placing an order, and having a chat with the owner/manger/etc (Louis Zorich), the rest of the Muppets decide to decide to stop depending on Kermit so much, so they they make a plan to go out and find jobs out of town, and of course Kermiet meets and becomes best friends with the owner's neiece Jenny (Juliana Donald). But before they go, they tell Kermit they have gotten better offers but out of town.

The Muppets Take Me Over

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2009

I was a four-year-old tot when this movie came out. I remember watching it in the movies, but I only remember seeing a few scenes while there. When it came to video a year later, I remember watching it over and over, grossing my family members out. They liked it too, but it's hard to like it when one of your number is obsessing over it. My favorite part is probably when Kermit and Jenny are jogging in Central Park and Piggy's purse gets snatched. That sequence, leading up to the wagon ride and the Muppet Babies' song has always been so cool tome. And, the amnesia part where Kermit thinks he's part of a marketing agency is both cute and clever.

Two of the great things about this DVD are that you have a choice of aspect ratio, both wide and full, plus a collection of nifty interviews with the late, great Jim Henson about his work and the Muppets. Watching it sparks memories and opens up other vistas (including when you watch it in widescreen). If you don't have it, get it. (I think I said something like that in another review.)

Muppets Take Manhattan Indeed

Reviewed in Canada on March 5, 2023

The media could not be loaded.

I definitely been entertained as a kid and now as an adult while I write this review in 2023. I showed this to my young nephew (6 years old) while I was babysitting him. He absolutely loved it. Jim Henson and his Muppets definitely know how to entertain an audience and attract new fans with each new generation. I absolutely love the Broadway way storyline of the Muppets entering showbiz straight out of college. The special features ok. The interview with Jim Henson is definitely interesting to watch. HD and sound are great. I have no regrets purchasing this blu-ray. FYI, this blu-ray is a Sony release from 2011. Disney did not always have the rights to the Muppets. Enjoy everyone.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Mio figlio voleva collezionare tutti i film di vecchia data dei muppet.
In lingua italiana questo film è introvabile. Per cui ci dovevamo accontentare della sola lingua inglese. Mi sembrava uno spreco dover spendere abbastanza per un dvd non in lingua italiana. Per fortuna ho trovato questa versione originale al prezzo di 5 euro.
