I love the style of this movie....

I think this is one of the greatest muppet movies just because of the sheer amount of puppeteer work done and the quality of the music and singing. Yeah it's a kids movie at heart, but I can enjoy it just for the artistic and aesthetic value. Plus, pirates never go out of style--and there's a few grown-up (oh man, did I just refer to myself as a grown up?) jokes in there.

As a writing major and an arts minor going to graduate in spring, movies like this really get me all excited, in a "I WANNA GET PAID TO DO THAT!" sorta way.

Anyone else enjoy muppet movies for a similar reason?

Very true very true! It's one of those films you just never grow out of.

There are a TON of movies I loved from my childhood, yet I still watch them all constantly!!! BTW, I'm 16, and this is still one of my favorite movies ever!!

Barbossa: There was a time when a pirate was free to make his own way in the world.

Yeah, MTI and MCC are both fantastic!! And I really don't like any of the others... I DESPISE Muppet Wizard of Oz. It wasn't good, and it didn't follow the story at all!

Barbossa: Isla de Muerta, remember? You shot me.
Jack: No I didn't!

My father watched The Muppet Show, and 20 years later he still laughs at them!
