I'm not gonna lie about two things:
1. This movie REALLY hit home for me for two reasons:
a. I'm a hardcore Muppet fan that's most of, if not all of Jim Henson's work.
b. To see such a major homage to the Muppets overall is the greatest honor Disney's done so far. And given their reputation, that's saying a lot.
2. After Jim Henson's untimely parting, I thought there would be no topping his work. Brian tried and succeeded...sort of, but couldn't quite get the spark Jim had. But here..I don't know how they did it, but they somehow not only rekindled the Jim Henson spirit, but downright ignited it! And now, there doesn't seem to be anything stopping them!
wow
This version of Rainbow Connection just kills me every time. Even when I listen to the soundtrack, I bawl because it's so gorgeous
being only around 7 when i watched this,i wasn't around for the love of the muppets people had a lot. i knew OF the muppets and did silly miss piggy impressions. one day my dad downloaded this movie,put it on a dvd and gave it to me since i got a new massive chunky tv and cheap (now broken) dvd player. i put it in and was just in awe throughout the whole thing,i even think i cried. most of my friends weren't too into,but they still liked them whilst i (and still do) sing the whole soundtrack when i wake up and when i walk home. this was probably the best intro to the muppets i could of asked for
i was about 7 too.
Ahhhhh!
2011’ The Muppets.
I remember taking my nieces, who were 4 at the time, to see it in the theater. I could not wait to introduce them to the Muppet franchise, and for me to see a new and fresh Muppet motion picture production.
This production is exactly what the franchise needed. I love how it gave the feeling of where the Muppets left off in 1981, and picked up 30 years later in 2011. Although three decades went by, it felt like time has stood still when the gang got together. It brought back roots and nostalgia as they were re-establishing the format of The Muppet Show.
What felt the most heartwarming the first time I watched it in the theater and then again and again on home video was a new generation being introduced to the Muppets while their parents,grandparents and people of older generations felt the nostalgia and enjoyed modern Muppet content.
What’s not to love about this movie. I loved everything from the iconic characters, the reuniting story of these iconic characters, and the wonderful and uplifting music. It was just so well done, and it gave me hopes for the future of the Muppet franchise.
Another favorite thing about me watching this movie was that I got to see my little nieces get introduced to the lovable characters, hear them giggle at their shenanigans, and becoming fans where they mimic and channel them through their merchandise. It reminded me of my childhood when I was their age and my mom took me and my sisters to see the Muppets take Manhattan, and whatMuppet fans we were as a family in the 1980s. 2011 The Muppets brought back those nostalgic memories, and created new Muppet memories for my family, and now my nieces.
The puppetry in this film is phenomenal.
Show of hands; who else is singing with the songs in this review? lol
It sure did take them long enough to put Uncle Deadly in a movie. I mean come on, there was no room for him in Muppet Christmas Carol or Treasure Island?
When are we gonna see Man or a Muppet performed by Flight of The Conchords, damn it?! lol
If the quality of these reviews could only have been achieved with infrequent release dates, then I say it was time well spent. These were all REALLY well made, and I certainly hope that we see more reviews in the future. :)
I think the real question is does she even have any interest in reviewing non-Muppet movies?
bms220 We can only hope. ;)
I was singing. Except the one with Chris Cooper
Mandi Padilla I love the muppets it has the humour thing were the whole family can get a laugh out of it
And here we are, in 2018 with no Muppet film in the Muppets universe in four years
The movie made me return to the franchise full time. Nowadays it’s dead. And it’s really sad. In 8 years The Muppets went from being on top of the world to being back in obscurity again
My only problem with Walter is, they made Kermit, Piggy, and others literally step back for him. He can be with the Muppets, but not blocking then as the true star. But! Kermit and Piggy made me squee: Kermit saying he needs her, loves her, sing to each other, and then kiss each other in public... You can say they're socks and ping pong balls, but that was honest and true emotion, a real relationship and you don't see that all the time in entertainment. I wonder if their puppeteers -- who are already stepping into big, empty shoes -- said, "WE have to put Kermit and Piggy back together in front of the world?!" And then looked at each other in panic
This channel should have a lot more subscribers.
It deserve it.
It’s not very often a RUclips video makes me cry. Thank you, Rachel, for such a beautiful heartwarming video!
My friend brought the movie on Blu ray to watch, and we couldn't help but cry during pictures in my head and the rainbow connection
I came close during that song but Rainbow Connection was when I lost it since I missed it in the theater.
As soon as you put Rainbow Connection and then all the Muppets were together singing it, I lost it and started to cry.
Thank you for putting in the time and effort to do some really solid Muppet reviews. It's great to see someone with a lot of passion for the characters talk about them and their films indepth.
I thought Walter was named after Walt Disney.
lol
i never thought of that
I like this movie more then i thought i would. i was in my early 20s wen this movie came out and i had forgotten bout the muppets and this movie brought those old childhood memories came back. I wish rizzo had a bigger roll it.
This was the first Muppet film I ever saw. They tried to reintroduce The Muppets to a new audience and they did a great job. I was only 7
Same
The fact that this was the first muppet movie you ever saw, EVER, that shows how much they haven’t been around
This is my favorite Muppet Movie. The Comedy, The Story, The Songs (Hot Damn those are good songs), and I definitely feel that Jim would’ve been proud to see this if he was still with us.
7:57 It makes sense for the Muppets to have a fan they are performers after all.
great review- this film remains my favorite film of the decade and the best Muppet film since 1979! One moment that blew my mind was when Fozzie said he hoped it didn't rain so water wouldn't fall through the hole in the ceiling- this film explained that the Muppet theater is the same studio from the end of the 1979 film!
so many great moments in this film but Rainbow Connection was surely the high point- as if all the years from 79 to 2011 had not come and gone. It was the feel of being a child again watching the film over and over on home video
I like how the first movie which was called The Muppets was about bring the muppets together for the first and the newer one is about the same thing but bringing them together for the first time in a while and instead of fozzie and kermit it's Marry, walter, Gary, and kermit.
I love this movie. I felt like Walter. I loved muppets and was angry and disappointed that no one seemed to remember them. This movie changed all that. The humor: flawless. The music: unbelievable. The characters: memorable. The villain: I actually found to be very threatening yet hilarious. The ending surprised me and I can watch this film countless times and not get bored. In fact, if it weren't for an appearance by my least favorite "human" being on this planet, I'd dub this the perfect film.
+ProfCoolio who?
Frankly, I'd rather not say. Unless you swear to not judge my opinion too harshly
***** i swear i won't
It's Selena Gomez. I can't stand her.
which goes to show how much I hate her
The movie made me return to the franchise full time. Nowadays it’s dead. And it’s really sad. In 8 years The Muppets went from being on top of the world to being back in obscurity again
Yeah. I hate that. I was really hoping that this would start a new life for this franchise. Curse you ABC Show failure!
Oh well. Still better than their slippery slope of the late 2000s. At least, I think so.
.....
......
DO SOMETHING MICKEY!!!!!
OMG Rainbow Connection reprised! I'm running out to buy the DVD as son as i get off work this afternoon! :'D
15:12 I'm not gonna lie, that face scared the crap outta me on my first viewing.
OMFG!!I absolutely feel like you!!😍❤️It's my fave film,it has AMAZING music and my fave character has even a solo!!OMFG,I can't believe it!After watching that film,I was a heart muppet fan!!!
I cried when I saw the picture of Jim Henson in the office scene.
Because he died?
Yeah and the fact he didn't get to see what came of the Muppets now!
😰😰😰
I think the "fan in the universe" thing makes enough sense with the Muppets, since the Muppets are supposed to be performers in their own real life shows and movies. On The Muppet Show, you can see this clearly because of the backstage scenes, where they use the same personalities as they do in their movies and special appearances. Heck, they've made countless real life appearances with humans on TV shows, movies, and their own show and in real-world locations so that means they do reside on Earth.
For some reason pictures in my head the song makes me cry
I just discovered my muppet blu ray version doesn't have the commentary audio. Damn Italy :(
They should have done a reprise of "You Can't Take No for an Answer" from "The Muppets Take Manhattan" for all those scenes when the Muppets were turned down.
Rachael! YOU DID IT!!!!!!! (Kermit flail) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!
12:31-12:37: Ditto--that's when I realized it too. :)
27:22: When the Muppet Show Theme started--and it was PAINSTAKINGLY recreated--I got chills. Seriously.
29:52-30:00: 100% TRUTH.
36:42: Aw.....don't cry. :)
Can't wait for the review of MMW. Now, go knock 'em dead with Swazzle. :)
Thoughts on MMW:
It was a great film! :) I thought the songs were fantastic, the story, after a somewhat rushed beginning, was really good, Constantine was AMAZINGLY good as a villain--this is a REALLY good movie, folks. :)
17:34 - My favorite song from the whole movie. Why? Because it gives this human feel to Kermit and getting that from watching a puppet is something very special.
15:31 pink’s hot dogs 🌭
That place is world famous
Rico Rodriguez calling Kermit one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A reference/callback 2 when Jim Henson's Creature Shop was indeed responsible for the puppetry on the turtles, Splinter, Tokka And Rhazar in the first 2 Ninja Turtles movies from the 90's. Makes perfect sense.
Is it wrong that I ask what would Jim Henson think of this movie
There is only one thing I don’t like about this movie, and it’s not really the movie’s fault. “Man or Muppet” won the Academy Award for Best Song, and “Rainbow Connection” lost back in 1979 when it was nominated after “The Muppet Movie.” That seems unfair to me.
Rainbow connection it’s wonderful
I'll be taking my four and two year old kids next week to see the new movie. Like Rachel I was raised watching the Muppets but this will be the first time I'll see one of their movies in theaters.
28:07 Ha! Joke's on you, I've already seen the film more times than I can count!
AMAZING THE HUMOR THE SONGS IT WAS GREAT
todays a good day for the muppets
I didn't see it because, as much as I love the Muppets, the trailers didn't quite get me hyped for it like Muppet's Most Wanted did.
Awesome 7 reviews, I really enjoyed watching them all, and I'm glad they were really long.
Jason Stroman Really, do you have to go and act like that. Have you seen any of the films she reviewed! The Muppet Movie had drinking, guns, and violence, The Great Muppet Caper has drinking, sex, and violence. Oh and have you ever heard of the The Muppet Show:Sex and Violence? I'm pretty sure if you knew who Jim Henson was then you'd know he made the muppets to appeal to adults like The Simpsons, but in both instances children saw some eye-candy and now the muppets are labeled as "kiddy" material.
Yes. I have seen her videos and yes I have seen all the Muppet movies. Some movies did have elements that were adult in nature but again in totality adults are not the primary target. If they were then you can get rid of all the mucials, unbelievable plots and make them rated R. TV shows like Sesame Street, Fragile Rock were targeted towards adults. If you are talking about adult content then you need to speak of The Muppet Show the orginal which resembled late night talk shows but were slapstick and musical in nature. Now TV shows such as The Muppet Valentine Show and The Muppet show sex and violence were much more adult content but we're never made into a full length movie or showcased in prime time ever. You have to separate the Muppet Movies from the Television show and other Television Show cases. The Television shows airing in 1969, some SNL skits in 1975 and many other TV appearances were branded more toward expanding their audiences but you must separate the two. She does not touch on any of the TV series from what I see she merely bashes movies that were intended to attract children., and the fact that she Bashes now what she used to enjoy makes not only un professional but biased and unreliable.
Robber Stopper I used to enjoy everything Muppet and even now I still enjoy the Muppets. I even used to watch Muppet Babies. If you went back and learned the history of the Muppets and how they have changed you'd have a much better understanding. She needed to place a caveat of information informing the audience of the evolution and major changes in the Muppets. She admitted she was born in 1992. I was born in 1984 even though I missed the Muppets when they were in their ture heyday that does not dismiss me from knowing not only what they are today but How and Why they are what they are today. I'm not sorry but she loved me when she putting down the Muppets fo r there unbelievable plots. The jump from the United Kingdom to Late night television, Sesame Street, to The Big Screen, and Nikelodeon was very large and I do not feel she knows what she is talking about.
Robber Stopper And the Simpsons and the Muppets are not in the same galaxy.
There's Whoopi Goldberg, Selena Gomez, and Rico Rodriguez making a cameo.
Awesome review, loved it.
And it totally convinced me that I need to go pick up Muppets Most Wanted on blu ray... I skipped it in theaters.
I hope the raccoons won't bother BoBo like stalking him, tickling him & calling him "Boo Boo."
I love Kermit’s swamp years
no, you don't
Daniel Brown II I own the movie
You said the words I could say. The Muppets are the greatest. The Greatest.
Beautiful Day Monster made a Sesame Street Guest Appearance. He a monster that was on Sesame Street in season 1, than when season 2 came around, he was replaced by Herry Monster. So BDM appears in Muppet Shows and other Muppet series.
I was shocked to see Sheldon singing Man or Muppet
So what kind of non-Muppet related film do you plan on reviewing after this? Maybe I can suggest a review - Mr. Magorium;s Wonder Emporium
Kermit made a cameo in that movie!!!!
22:15 Interesting bit of trivia here; apparently Rashida here is no stranger to the Muppets. Yeah, apparently she's played a few parts with them in the past; most notably as that one nameless trumpet girl that's now a trombone girl thanks to Lips's introduction in The Muppet Show Season 5.
Christophe Beck who did the music for the Steven Martin reboots of The Pink Panther capturing the original tone of the music that Henry Mancini did in the original Pink Panther movies and Peter Sellers who played Inspector Jacques Clouseau in The Pink Panther was on The Muppet Show too just 2 remind u.
Oh and Steve Martin who played Clouseau in the Panther reboots was on The Muppet Show too. Forgot about that.
23:22 that wasn’t even a karate chop. She slapped him with one hand. And she barely moved while doing it. When Frank performed Piggy he had her throw her entire body into a karate chop. Eric’s Piggy isn’t threatening like Frank’s was
Donald GLOVER (his last name rhymes with HOVER). Also, it's Kristen SCHAAL (pronounced SHAWL, I believe).
I brought a 5 year old kid I knew to watch this and they love the franchise to this day.
Adorkable Rachel
Yeah, although he couldn't take muppets from space.
While I do like this movie, you gotta admit, Frank Oz wasn’t wrong. The Muppets was way too sweet, cute, and ‘’smarmy’’.
You could have mentioned the casting switch of Richard Hunt's characters.
The finale at the end of this movie left an unanswered question for me:
What became of Jack Black after this movie? It made me wonder why he didn't appear in the sequel. If he was named the Hobo King by the Muppet Hobos, wouldn't he of have returned in the sequel or no since he decided he saw no reason to return for the sequel?
He’s probably still tied up somewhere.
I’m a Muppet fan, but I didn’t like Muppets Most Wanted. I had a lot of problems with the film. Russian gulag musical numbers? That’s too much even for the satire-loving Muppets to pull off. A lot of people died in those camps during the Cold War period. But The Muppets (2011), that’s a wonderful film, worthy of the characters Jim Henson created all those years ago.
You did a fantastic job.
And Selena Gomez from Wizards Of Waverly Place. She's in this movie too.
The composer of the score for this movie and it’s sequel also recently did the score for the Nimona movie.
uploaded on my 20th birthday
Is it just me or is Walter looking a bit cross eyed at 3:22
Observe this hope, this optimism... Dashed against the winds of the modern day.
The Muppets are dead, Disney murdered them all.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
It was great 😊
Doesn’t scooters uncle own the muppet theater?
I really think your reviews are stellar, accurate, fair, and above all, fun. I've enjoyed watching all of them, and I wish you luck on your future projects. From all the fans, I just wanted to say thank you; you've done the Muppet world justice in your critiques. I really loved your review on The Muppets especially, because you touched on all the points that made this such a wonderful comeback story. I'm also kinda glad you're waiting for the blu-ray since it also give you more time to look at the final cut of this film as well as reflecting back on the other seven to give a broader, more descriptive review. I do have two questions about Muppets Most Wanted, if I may--- when you saw it last year, was the wedding/ helicopter scene a bit longer than what we saw in theaters? And, how much longer was the version you saw than the one released on March 21st? Thanks again, and good luck.
Just how are her reviews stellar? All she does is go back and 're watch movies that most people have seen when they were young and bash them. The movies were made for children not 20-30 year old adults. Anyone can go back and watch a movie they enjoyed as a child and laugh at it as an adult. That is not very stellar, fair, or professional. Again they are children movies if you Did not see them as a child I feel bad for you. Put the movie on and let a child watch and ask them what they think. The movie will be replayed for days.
Jason Stroman I think she respects the characters, their personalities, the puppeteers and franchise quite well. Muppet fans are an ecclectic group; yes we saw them when we were young, but there's something about them that's stuck with us throughout the years, especially for those who may have felt different or outcasted. Their ideology is simple: be silly, be different and love each other. I don't think she's bashed any of the films; she's stated what worked and what didn't, but that's it. She represents what old-school Muppet fans are like. It's why I gave it high praise.
***** you Did not read my comment. I covered that.
I want a Sesame Street and muppets crossover
We Built this City was also credited as a bad pop song, but I me glad this was in the film
How much longer till Muppets most wanted DVD comes out?
Till it does maybe you should talk about some of your favorite sketches from the Muppet show?
4:26 for a second I believed it
is there another sequel coming out anytime soon?
***** :/
There is now, Muppets Most Wanted!
Adorkable Rachel The movie made me return to the franchise full time. Nowadays it’s dead. And it’s really sad. In 8 years The Muppets went from being on top of the world to being back in obscurity again
better than cars 2 in my opinion
Defintly. I love the Muppets
Lol it seems to me that the muppets were actually "dead", before they made tgis film.
lol
You Have To Watch Who Are The Muppets ?
People may disagree with me but while I think Steve Whitmire is a good replacement as Kermit I really can't get into Eric Jacobson as Fozzie, Piggy and Animal I prefer Frank Oz when I first heard this movie was being made, I was hoping he would come back but he didn't like the script
NO HE IS NOT A GOOD REPLACEMENT. if only Jim was still here....
+Mandi Padilla i know you want to stay faithful to the original,he was amazing,don't get me wrong but honestly steve managed to voice kermit so similar to jim! the only difference to me is that steve has a bit more of a higher pitch!
Was the muppet show not set in England (UK)
So will a review of Muppets Most Wanted come out before or after it's officially released? Assuming there will be one.
I love that movie i have the DVD version
i loved muppets most wanted,it was awesome
Jack Black is in a muppets movie cool!
Please. do elm in grouchland
