Muppet Treasure Island

• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family

A lighthearted and whimsical reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate adventure unfolds through the uniquely charming lens of Jim Henson’s Muppets. This musical comedy isn’t simply a retelling, but a playfully anarchic deconstruction of the swashbuckling genre, complete with musical numbers and fourth-wall breaking humor. The narrative focuses on a young boy’s innocent pursuit of buried treasure alongside a crew of beloved, felt-covered characters—however, a creeping sense of distrust permeates the high-seas journey as the true nature of Long John Silver, and the loyalties of the crew, become increasingly uncertain. The film’s joy stems from its self-awareness, the infectious energy of the puppetry, and a refreshingly optimistic tone, while retaining the thrills of a classic treasure hunt.
