Editorial Reviews "...A fairly sophisticated affair, allowing the vivid charm of the original to work on its own level as well as providing fodder for parody, slapstick and the vaudeville revue formula of the Muppets' television shows..." Sight and Sound - p.47-8 - Nick James (06/01/1996)
"...Kermit looks quite dashing in his captain's uniform, and Miss Piggy gives Dorothy Lamour a run for her sarong as a jungle goddess worshipped by wild boars..." -- 3 out of 4 stars USA Today - p.4D - Susan Wloszczyna
"...Curry makes a fine, flashy Long John Silver....A hoot..." -- Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly - p.55 - Ken Tucker (03/22/1996)
"...Pure delight, and constantly inventive and engaging..." Variety - Leonard Klady (02/19/1996)
"...A wonderful picture for children, a work of considerable artistry and craftsmanship that ought to please many adults as well..." Los Angeles Times - p.F12 - Kevin Thomas (02/16/1996)
