As good as the older Muppet movies?

I'm in my 20's and have recently gotten Muppet nostalgia. I saw Muppet Caper tonight for the first time in many years and loved it. I also saw Muppets Take Manhatten, another favorite, not too long ago. But I think that was the last one I saw. How are the post-Jim Henson ones, like Treasure Island and Christmas Carol? Are those close to the quality of the older movies?

Treasure Island is fabulous, but nothing on Earth will beat the original movie. But now you have to go out and get the Muppet Show seasons one and two. It's awesome.

Muppet Treasure Island is IMHO the only really good Muppet movie made after Jim Henson's death.

As far as I'm concerned, this is easily the best Muppet movie.

Agreed, but I liked Christmas Carol as well.
