      “Muppet Christmas Carol” works because Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors.

      “Muppet Treasure Island” works because Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow muppet.

        I love this axiom so much. If for no other reason than it gives me an excuse to think of all Tim Curry’s muppet-esq behavior in everything else he’s ever done

          He was serious and droll in Clue, but it was still hilariously done

        Muppets Take Manhattan works because peoples is peoples.

      A friend said to me: “It’s great because Michael Caine acts like the Muppets are real, and Treasure Island is great because Tim Curry acts like he’s a Muppet.”
