  • "Jim Henson, Muppet originator, and Frank Oz, creative consultant, have abandoned the successful format of their vidshow, and inserted their creations into a well-crafted combo of musical comedy and fantasy adventure."

    - VARIETY
  • "If you can figure out how they were able to show Kermit pedaling across the screen, then you are less a romantic than I am: I prefer to believe he did it himself."

    - Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
  • "There are few things as pure and inspirational (in all senses of the word) as The Muppet Movie."

    - Jason Shawhan, NASHVILLE SCENE
  • "'The Muppet Movie' is one big road trip, and like 'The Blues Brothers' there's a payoff not just at the end, but around nearly every corner. Music only sweetens the deal."

    - James Plath, MOVIE METROPOLIS
