I'd have to say the part where Smollet, Gonzo, and Rizzo get captured by the boars is awesome. They're all creepy wild freaks with spears and feathers and Rizzo is miserable while Gonzo is just so cool, "Are we lucky or what?"
"I am Spa-am! High priest of the boars". Oh god, that was just hilarious and so Muppet-clever to use Spam. Then of course, Miss Piggy makes her typical star-studdeded entrance and ends up falling down the steps. "You stupid anteater!!!" she fumes.
I loved this movie over 10 years ago and I still love it today. I even remember watching the trailer for it at the movie theatre when we went to see "Tom and Huck". It starts off all serious and grim about this deadly pirate secret with shadows everywhere, flickering candles above the map, and then suddenly...Kermit shows up and grins, "Hello, everyone!" Yup, Muppet Treasure Island, and then the goofy moments kick in.
