The Muppet Movie (1979)
Feb 2, 2001Muppet Movie
The first and best of the Muppet films where Jim Henson spins them off onto the big screen with charm and sly humour
Dave Goelz
The Great Muppet Caper (1981)
Dec 6, 2002Muppet Movie
The second of the Muppet films made when Jim Henson was alive and one of the best, this bubbles with a double level of sly grown-up humour that many of the later post Henson entries miss
The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
Feb 27, 2003Muppet Movie
The third Muppets film, the last Jim Henson would be involved with, this shows them putting on a Broadway show
Muppet Treasure Island (1996)
Dec 24, 2002Muppet Movie
Another of the desultory 90s Muppet films, which fits them into a retelling of Treasure Island. Missing is the humour and creativity from back when Jim Henson was alive.
The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland (1999)
Jun 1, 2004Children's Film/Small Furry Creature's Adventures
A rather slight film spinoff red-furred Elmo, the popular character from Sesame Street. A film designed for very young children.
Muppets from Space (1999)
Jul 17, 1999Muppet Movie
The third and one of the better of the generally insipid Muppet movies produced following Jim Henson's death. This tells the story of Gonzo's origins as an alien where the film borrows spoofs the then-popularity of tv's The X Files
The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz (2005)
Oct 21, 2007Muppet Movie
The weakest of the Muppet movies where they are turned into the characters in a retelling of The Wizard of Oz
The Muppets (2011)
Nov 19, 2011Muppet Movie
Surprisingly fun revival of the Muppets that reboots the series after the insipid entries of the last few years and succeeds by going back to recapture the sly double-level of humour that Jim Henson patented
Muppets Most Wanted (2014)
Mar 22, 2014Muppet Movie
The Muppets were successfully revived in The Muppets; this is a lesser follow-up that leaves us with a feeling that the creative team used their best ammunition first time around
