funny and sweet, easy to watch., 2008-07-15
I was sceptical about this movie; it has not been reviewed kindly here. br /We picked up a copy at the library. I put it in the dvd player for my kids and went into the kitchen to clean up, and i could hear snippets, and my kids laughing. i went in to join them and found myself totally sucked into the sweet characters. We must have watched it ten times before we had to return it. My kids are 4 and 6 years old. we are still quoting the funny lines from this film. I am buying a copy from amazon so we will never be without it. br /If you compare it to some of the other big muppet movies I can understand why people missed it's charm. it is a quieter movie. The first 30 seconds did not engage me, but once i sat down and paid attention, i found this to be a sweet little gem.

Great Movie - bought this one because my grandson wore out the first copy he had.

Give it a MISS, 2007-07-17
Parents should skip this one. Seeing a frog (not kermit) strapped down to a disection table with a knife to it's throat? That frog saved by Kermit in a knife fight with the evil science teacher? I think Jim Henson spun in his grave when they came up with this. It has none of the flashy production or good spirit of what should have come out of that legacy, and we've all come to expect from the Henson people.

scary/violent shouldnt be g rated., 2007-03-02
i bought this for my 4 year olds bday. we watched it and she was scared. i was surprised to see fighting with scalpels.... come on! g rated? i think not. i dont think it was appropriate at all. br /i dont promote violence in the home and explained to them during the movie that they were not being safe or respectful. neither child wants to watch this movie again. no one laughed during this movie at all. i understand that every child is different and some may enjoy this show. and every parenting style is different so i wont bad mouth what others think about the movie or their opinions. br /i suggest renting it or buying it used/cheap to be sure it's appropriate for your family.

Scary for little ones, irritating for adults, 2007-02-11
My parents got this for my daughters at Christmas (16 mo. 30 mo.). Both were excited, they had only recently discovered Kermit. br / br /We do a movie night every week. This movie was awful, ruining the night for the girls! The 16 mo. old was bored after only a few minutes and the 30 mo. old was frightened. She is very empathetic, so she was quite upset to see the bull frog beating up the smaller toads. Plus, I'm trying to teach her not to hit and this video has puppets fighting!? She was so upset about the bull frog, we never even made it to the disection scene. br / br /My parents are also upset that their gift was frightening. They thought it was "The Muppet Movie". When we finally got the correct movie, it took two weeks to convince my daughter to try watching it, and that it wouldn't be scary.
