Tim Curry is the reason to watch Muppet Treasure Island. He chews up the scenery in every scene he's in and savors every bite. It's fun to watch. The rest of the movie is good, but not great. The jokes aren't as witty as they have been in past Muppet productions, and the musical numbers are forgettable. Nevertheless, this is a good way to introduce small children to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate tale.
