@...@Marissa, Thank you so much! Glad you found us!<br /><br />@Katy, you're right! They don't cheap out on the costumes do they? *Fondly reflects on <i>Labyrinth</i>Heather Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544318718074061879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-57979074135974667572009-10-24T23:22:53.139-04:002009-10-24T23:22:53.139-04:00I ADORE this movie, I own it and watch it all the ...I ADORE this movie, I own it and watch it all the time. I think the Muppets should be added to every movie. And then when you add the amazing Tim Curry you really just can't go wrong.<br /><br />Of course the Muppets are a great fixture in my life- every Christmas Eve my mom and I watch The Muppet Christmas Carol (last year we finally wore out our old VHS tape and got it on DVD).<br /><br />I've always been quite impressed with the costuming in Muppet movies. For a kids movie they could have completely forsaken any accuracy, but they actually do a really great job. Much better than most kids movies I've seen (apparently children don't need to bother with accuracy?). The Muppet Christmas Carol has some great costumes.Katyhttp://rose-bertin.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-91038697830878754102009-10-24T17:27:32.934-04:002009-10-24T17:27:32.934-04:00Great review.

Now I have to watch it and get a fix. Maybe a double feature with Yellowbeard. <br /><br />There are so many great Muppets that it's always been hard for me to pick a favorite. The Swedish Chef, the Critics, poor Beaker, Gonzo's sick obsession with chickens. But Sam Eagle doesn't stand a chance. He's so wonderfully pompous and always gets shot down. I wonder if there was an episode where he came out on top. Just once.Polonaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10192167594851519558noreply@blogger.com
