The Muppets At Walt Disney World Film Review

 


Muppets fans i've been reviewing alot of the The Muppets movies recently just like i've also been doing review of the The Muppet Show. Well even tho i've only just recently started on reviewing some of the The Muppets made for TV specials I thought that now was the right time to review was now perhaps one of the most infamous TV specials that the The Muppets ever starred in and so join me as I review the special that is all about brand synergy with the special in question being called simply just "The Muppets At Walt Disney World" enjoy.

The plot of this special is Kermit The Frog takes the entire Muppets gang to his swamp for the annual Frog Festival and Bug Fry however the rest of the The Muppets discover that Walt Disney World is just on the other side of the swamp and so it's up to Kermit The Frog and Robin to get the entire Muppets cast back together again before a security guard captures them and throws out of Walt Disney World for good. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this special well in all honesty I in all honesty I in all personally thought / felt that the actual pot of this actual special was at best OK since it was just used as an excuse to show of Walt Disney World and nothing freaking more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this special is Jim Henson as Kermit The Frog , Rowlf The Dog, Dr. Teeth , Waldorf , Link Hogthrob and Swedish Chef , Frank Oz as Fozzie Bear , Miss Piggy , Animal and Jerry Nelson as Robin The Frog , Emily Bear , Floyd Pepper , Camilla The Chicken and Frogs. Also starring in this special is Richard Hunt as Beaker , Janice , Scooter , Statler , Tug Monster and Frog , Dave Goelz as Gonzo , Dr. Bunsen Honeydew , Beauregard , Zoot and Frog , Steve Whitmire as Rizzo The Rat , Bean Bunny and Frog , Kevin Clash as Clifford , Alligator, and Frogs , David Rudman as Frog , Rickey Boyd as Uncle Deadly ,  Frog , Sprocket and Lips , Charles Grodin as Quentin Fitzwaller , Raven-Symoné as Herself and Wayne Allwine as The Voice Of Mickey Mouse.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really freaking good. This is something which shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody since the acting in pretty every single Muppets project has always been really freaking top notch and so it only makes sense that the acting that's in this very freaking special would be good / top notch as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then very sadly this special was one of the last projects that Jim Henson ever worked since just ten days after the specials premiere Jim Henson was sadly taken from us as he died. Altho this project isn't technically his last ever project since he did direct the Muppet Vision 3D ride / attraction film it was still sad to hear all of his iconic characters being voiced by Jim Henson for what was close to being to the last freaking time in my opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then the whole purpose of this special was to introduce the The Muppets to the Disney family since when the special was being made Jim Henson and the The Walt Disney Company were in negotiations for Disney to but the The Muppets brand from the The Jim Henson Company. Now then while that deal would did get completed a decade or so later it was stalled in the early nineties thanks to the death of the late and great Jim Henson and thankfully the rest of the The Muppets performers had some decent sense as to not to sell the brand that Jim Henson basically dedicated his freaking life to since Disney wasn't in freaking the best place at that time period in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this special also had another purpose which is kind of obvious give this very freaking specials title. Since the other main purpose of this special was to show of Walt Disney World hence why the plot at Kermit's main swamp gets dropped halfway through and also hence why there are alot and I mean alot of shots of various Muppets characters going n rides that you could then go on at that point in time at / in Walt Disney World but tho my main issue with this special is that it's such an obvious commercial / advertisement for the theme park that it's actually unreal in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.


So now then this special is perhaps even the cheapest looking Muppets production ever made since you can quite clearly tell where the puppeteers that are puppeteering the The Muppets characters are hiding half of the time.  This is of not fault of those involved with actually making the special since they pretty only had to shoot the special actually at Walt Disney World which means that things can't / couldn't have been altered to better make it impossible to tell where each puppeteer really freaking is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this special has / had an exact running time of exactly forty seven minuets and thirteen seconds. Which in all honesty is something that I personally thought / felt to be a bit to much on the long side for this special since this special is just basically the same thing over and over again with different Muppets trying on different rides / attractions and there's always only so much that you can keep on seeing that begore it starts to get boring which yeah is very freaking sadly the case with this special indeed in my freaking opinion anyways / at least. 


Now then even tho this special is meant to be a comedy special that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this actual special and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally think / feel that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this actual comedy special is fairly freaking weak. Since there's barely any laugh out loud or even laughing moments in this very special which for a productions that's by and starring the The Muppets isn't even close to being a good thing whatsoever in my very freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this special was a very passable at best freaking best special which is a shame because it does have some very good ideas like the The Muppets going to actual Walt Disney World that is a very good idea but this special just can't or even doesn't make those ideas funny enough to carry this whole entire special in my opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that means that this very special earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and lastly from Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images frim this special being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
