Anyone else find it really moving?

Not in an ironic, 'oh, it's the Muppets' kind of way, but seriously. The scene between Long John and Jim while Long John is getting away with the treasure really moves me.

That, and the 'Love Led Us Here' part, with images of the pirates gleefully finding the treasure intercut with Kermit's and Miss Piggy's, I thought that was pretty spectacular as well.

Am I the messiah? I don't know, I could be, I'm not ruling it out.

The scene between Jim and Long John at the end is a poignant one yes. Mainly because I could see how both Tim Curry and Kevin Bishop were looking as though they were fighting back tears.

I always thought that this scene was incredible and touching. Despite everything, they still cared about each other and didn't want to see the other harmed, especially by their own hand.
