You guys are too old.

Stop living in the 70's. This movie has the Muppet babies in it. That gave birth to the long running cartoon. I guess you guys were too old by then. The first movie was a novelty, the second was not as good as Manhattan. You hippies must have been pretty high watching those first two movies to think that Muppets take manhattan is inferior to those. This movie is big on relationships and you guys just can't relate.
Excellent movie. It's a tie with the first one and better than the second one. Nuff said.
Toddler favorite!

My eighteen month old grandaughter loves this dvd. She calls it "Hey-Ho" after her favorite song in the movie. Tim Curry makes an excellent Long John Silver. Full of great performances.
Good but not great. 2007-09-20
The Muppets Take Manhattan is the third of the Muppet series and probably the third best. I wouldn't say this movie is not fun and enjoyable, just a bit slow for such a bunch of energetic characters. But this is a great family film which makes it special, so I recommend The Muppets Take Manhattan for parents who want a clean-cut movie for their kids, enjoy!
MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN REVIEW BY MUPPETS FAN ELIAS 2007-07-12
I THINK MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN DESERVES 3 AND 1/2 STARS. i'VE ALWAYS BEEN A MUPPET FAN. tHIS FILM STARS KERMIT THE FROG, MISS PIGGY, FOZZY BEAR, DR. TEETH, THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM. THIS FILM IS ABOUT WHEN THE MUPPETS GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE THEY WANT TO GET THEIR STARDOM ON BROADWAY WITH A SHOW CALLED MANHATTAN MELODIES. I THINK THEY WEAR FANCY COSTUMES. THE OTHER ONE I WANT TO COMPARE IT WITH IS MUPPETS FROM SPACE. THAT'S ABOUT WHEN THE MUPPETS FIND OUT GONZO IS FROM SPACE AND IT ALSO STARS ANDREA MCDOWELL. WHEN THE MUPPETS FIND OUT GONZO IS FROM SPACE AND THEY GO TO THIS MOTHER SHIP FESTIVAL AND THESE OTHER GUYS THAT LOOK LIKE GONZO ARE SINGING AWARD WINNING SONG, "CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, CMON." IT IS ALSO KERMITS ANNIVERSARY. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK OUT PEPE PROFILES ON THE DVD. HAVE A GREAT TIME IF YOU BUY THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN AND MUPPETS FROM SPACE. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT TIME WATCHING THESE TWO DVDS!
Muppets 3rd Outing 
2007-05-08
I enjoyed the Muppets as a child and still get an occasional guilty pleasure out of watching them. This isn't their best movie, but it has its moments. Save yourself a few bucks and go buy it @ Wal-Mart for $5.00!!
Can't get enough of the Muppets! 2007-05-05
What a wonderful movie that the whole family can enjoy. It was a good film filled with all of the Muppet characters that delighted us from so long ago! Good plot about getting their musical opened on Broadway. I think you will enjoy it too!!

The Muppets on Broadway 2006-01-28
In this 3rd movie of the Muppet series, they are hitting the road, and going to New York, but while they are taking Manhattan, I sure hope they return it when they are doen with it. This is the last Muppet movie that the late Jim Henson did, the series returned after his death with the Muppet Christmas Carol. But also imange what would be like for the Muppets to disband, and well you have this movie, which may not be the best one they have done. The Muppet perfromers for this movie are Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, Steve Whitmire, and Richard Hunt. When the movie begins, the Muppets are perfoming in a colege theatre of thier show "Matthan Melodies" and they are just about to graudate for college. But while Kermit the Frog is onstage, when the show is over, the rest of the Muppets decide that thier show is good enough to take it to the next step, and that is broadway in case you have just joined us. But they then Kermit can't believe what they decided, but gets talked into it, so they head to broadway. Now they need is a producer, and looking through the ads, thier first one (Dabney Coleman) seems intersted, but wants the Muppets to pay him $300 each, I guess what he does get is they are just about flat broke, so how do they plan to get thier show on broadway? They keep trying with servel other producers, but one by one, they keep closing thier office door, which leads Kermit to get frusted, and he says that the Muppets depend on them to much. And with barely any money, they stop off at a restuarant, and while Kermit is placing an order, and having a chat with the owner/manger/etc (Louis Zorich), the rest of the Muppets decide to decide to stop depending on Kermit so much, so they they make a plan to go out and find jobs out of town, and of course Kermiet meets and becomes best friends with the owner's neiece Jenny (Juliana Donald). But before they go, they tell Kermit they have gotten better offers but out of town.
The best film in the universe! 2005-11-06
This movie is da bomb! It's FUNNY! The songs are excellent! And the wedding was great! Here's the description on the back of the box:Broadway bound,the Muppets take Manhattan by storm in this magical musical about breaking into show business! Fresh out of college,Kermit,Fozzie and the entire cast of Kermit's musical "Manhattan Melodies" head for the Big Apple with plans to turn their small play into a big hit! All they need now is someone to produce their show! But when no one in town will even meet with them,it's up to Kermit to believe hard enough for all of his friends that the show WILL go on! Family entertainment has never been more fun than in this comedy marking Frank Oz's solo directorial debut. P.S. I didn't get this from Amazon,I got it on eBay for 7.50 with free tax. Sincerly,Richard G. from Connellsville P.A.
This Is My Favorite Of The Muppet Movies! 2005-10-14
I like the Muppet movies and my favorite is the Muppets Take Manhattan which I found to be cute and funny. I originally had this movie on video, the pan and scan video tape and I also had the video tapes for the other Muppet movies but I gave them to my little cousins and then I bought the widescreen DVD for the the Muppets Take Manhattan and I coouldn't be happier with the DVD and now I just have to buy the DVD,s for The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper and the new DVD's for Muppet Treasure Island and The Muppets Christmas Carol. BTW: I didn't buy my Muppets Take Manhattan DVD from Amazon. I bought it in Walmart for 5 dollars.
