Every Muppet Movie Ranked

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

By the way, let me know what you think of my inclusion of sound bites at the beginning of each spot on the list (when it displays the number). I thought I'd try it out here, Schaffrillas does this in his ranking videos and its great, but I don't want to be accused of copying him. However the sound bites add so much charm to each entry on the list before the main commentary comes in, and I wanted to do that here. So let me know if I should keep doing that in my future ranking videos or not.

[@RanterInShades]

I was gonna say, the Schaffrillas influence is very apparent here. I actually think ending the segments with Statler and Waldorf was a clever touch.

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

I’d say it’s all good. Schaffrillas doesn’t own a trademark on “using sound bites in top 10s” and you are not copying exactly what he does with his sound bites either.

[@robbieking4070]

Unless you count the giant Muppet who loves to eat little muppets

[@spadinnerxylaphone2622]

I dont mean to be disrespectful, but some of your critiques come across as though you don't understand the Muppets or the time it was made in. "Kermit is too mean" Kermit was a pretty big grouch in the original Muppet Show. He fatshamed Piggy, called his costars idiots, etc. He was the stressed-out producer archetype. And a lot of the "pointless scenes" that seem useless to the plot are bits. The Muppets borrows heavily from Vaudeville, so their movies have an overall plot but its filled with guest stars and random gags. That's the format. Its like a Mel Brooks movie; not everything has to be this tight, relevant plot-important beat.

[@marcusblackwell2372]

This should get more attention

[@spadinnerxylaphone2622]

@@marcusblackwell2372 Thank you. I forgot I left this comment, and looking back I feel like I was a little too harsh. I should also add that it's 100% okay if that gag-heavy humor isn't OP's thing. But it's good to be aware of the cultural context.

[@ryanbradley3293]

Yeah the one he said was the worst he just sounded more annoying and complaining than the actual movie, but it’s fine

Yeah. Some of the complaints about jokes falling flat felt like complaints from someone who didn't understand the Muppet brand of humor. Also, the fact that the two top movies were also the two most recent was telling.

[@mrnoknowncure]

It’s not just The Muppets, he also doesn’t seem to understand stories more generally. Plus he’s not even bothered to do the most cursory research in some cases!

[@emmagaroutte9211]

Everything you said about The Muppets 2011 is so accurate to how I feel about it. Since I saw it, Walter has been my favorite Muppets character; his passion for the Muppets really drives this movie for me. You can tell how deeply he cherishes the Muppets for what they are, how much meaning and happiness he gained from them. He is so willing to help them see that, he actually has to learn to step out of his own comfort zone. To me, that’s such a powerful arc for a protagonist to have. And boy are the songs BANGERS! They’re emotionally resonating, wholesome, hilarious, catchy, and nothing short of joyful ☺️ I’m so glad to live in a day and age where The Muppets got a film that paid such a beautiful homage to their history, as well as to the heart and soul of the man who created them ❤️

[@dorkydoodle3573]

The Ms Piggy roller-skating scene alone makes Muppets Take Manhattan one of my favorites

[@MathieuLeblanc1991]

46:35 There was two reasons, 1. The Henson family requested it feeling the muppeteer was too unprofessional and too protective over the character for their liking and 2. Steve refused to have an understudy and train him to be Kermit for smaller events like talk shows, WWE etc since Disney has a rule where all the characters must have a double actor in case the original can’t come back for a project ( Jim Hanks and Tom Hanks for example )

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

The scene in The Great Muppet Caper where Kermit & the guy on the bench is even funnier when you know who the guy is & the show (Columbo) he starred in.

[@ameliespencer97]

35:38 I'm a Muppets take Manhattan fan, but that stems from childhood nostalgia as I'd watch this one the most as a kid hahaha. I wouldn't say it's terrible by any means, there are some really lovely moments, my favourite probably being when Kermit yells from the top of a skyscraper about how he refuses to give up (makes me tear up). Also I highly recommend Little Shop of Horrors (1986) also directed by Oz- the direction in that film is so expressive and stylish, especially during the musical sequences (seek out the directors cut if you can). Great video, long live the Muppets

[@AlsoKnownAsTheOracle]

its my childhood fave

[@avaisafraid]

Finally, some damn respect for Muppets from Space.

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

I'm honestly amazed at how much better Muppet Christmas Carol gets every year. It somehow manages to capture the spirit of the book while at the same time being true to the Muppet humor without it overtaking the messages and meanings of Dickens' story. And every Muppet is just cast so perfectly in their roles. Ironically enough whenever I think of Bob Crachitt, I just think of Kermit because he's just the perfect embodiment of what made the character so endearing. Same with Michael Caine's performance as the boss man himself. Whenever I reread the book, I just naturally hear his voice. And no, this is not coming from a nostalgia point of view as I only saw the film for the first time three years ago. I just think it's a tremendous movie that critics and audiences slept on when it was released. It is a beautiful love letter to Brian Henson's father and to the story Dickens wrote.

[@kevinlee7678]

20:38 "All three of the witches." FOUR. There are FOUR witches. Two good ones, two evil ones. JUST LIKE IN THE ORIGINAL BOOK. The MGM movie combined the two good witches into one, thereby ruining them both as characters. At least the Muppet version got the number of witches right.

Literally all 3 of my favourites were also your 3 favourites. The Muppets (2011) While I don’t remember much from it, I do remember the climax being great, the songs being brilliant (especially Am I A Man Or A Muppet) and the We Built This City montage being peak cinema. Muppets Most Wanted… aaah~ The history my family has with this movie. We bought it one DVD and loved it ever since. It’s actually become a part of our normal lives know, with my dad constantly quoting the interrogation song. Plus the plot was genius, and it had Ricky Gervais in it. And… finally… Muppets Christmas Carol. The greatest way to experience A Christmas Carol in movie form. And also a wonderful adaptation that doesn’t dampen, but instead adds to the meaningful message of a legendary novella. Our family has a tradition where we watch it every Christmas Eve, due to Kermit’s song After All There’s Only One More Sleep Til Christmas. Micheal Caine is a legendary actor who plays Scrooge perfectly, and there is never a dull moment throughout the movie, and the songs never fail to bring me to the brink of tears. Good bless us, everyone. Thanks for reading.

[@Miami.grackle]

Was a kid during the original Muppet Show. I absolutely loved it, excited whenever it came on. However, by the time The Muppet Movie came out, I began to lose interest. My admiration returned with the first movie- it was fun, heartfelt, and had great songs that I can never remove from my head. Soon after, guess my age caused me to put it all aside, not seeing the next two movies for many years. Since then, it’s great seeing clips from the old show. Have seen almost nothing new; what I have managed to catch is fine. I did watch Muppets Most Wanted. With the definite limits of exposure to the franchise in mind, I am in complete agreement with your choice for number one. It was great! After watching your video, I am eager to see some of the others. Thank you! Some of the earlier productions from the 70s (although not movies) have been a real blast to revisit. I adore Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas. The Muppet Musicians of Bremen is so bizarre - It has always been a guilty pleasure. Check this one out if you haven’t already.

And miss piggy jealousy arc is fully in character. 10. Jewzoot, Gonzzie duet, and the Gonzrizzope dynamic 9. Didnt watch 8. Gonpe Dynamic, Darren Criss, Every Easter Egg, Celebrity Cameos 7. Gonzrizzo, Stretchy Gonzo 6. Everything. This is my favourite muppet movie. Also miss piggy killing nazis. 5. All the muppets live in the same house. Focus on gonzo. Pepe and rizzo. 4. Sense of humor is funny as shit. Miss Piggy Swimming. 3. Everything except the rats singing island in the sun 2. Everything except Jason and Mary. Which is tough since theyre focused on too much. 1.

[@bigbangbot-SuperSqank]

I have seen the list now and the main thing I can say is thank you for being up the extended (and true) cut of Muppets Christmas Carol. When Love is Gone is such an exception song (which is incredibly emotional and it even strengthens Scrooge as a character) and the movie just isn’t the same with its absence from the theatrical cut. I believe the reason why it was cut was because of Jeffrey Katzenburg being Jeffrey Katzenburg since he was a major Disney figure head when the movie was releasing. Heck, before the full cut finally made its way onto Disney+, I found myself tracking down a LaserDisc copy of the movie just so I could own a copy of the full cut. If you are a fan of Muppets Christmas Carol and you haven’t seen the full cut, do yourself a favour and watch it. It is finally easily accessible now on Disney+ and once you experience it, you will probably never be able to go back to the theatrical cut. It takes an already excellent movie and elevates it significantly.

[@claudiabrown1931]

I just love in an interview Tony Hiddleston said the first time filming his scene as Escapo he heard Kermit saying his lines and the curtain went up to reveal him, he stood in shock like a kid for a bit before asking if they could start over because as a muppets fan it was so incredible to hear it live that he had a moment his brain malfunctioned. I swear I would have had that same reaction or worse if that was me, I’d likely start sobbing and just want to hug the puppets for an hour.

I remember seeing Its A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie when I was a kid having never seen Jim Carrey’s Grinch. Needless to say seeing a group of freaky looking tiny nosed people showing up to yell at Fozzie with no context as to why they looked like that, kinda freaked me out as a kid

[@gralicears6384]

Every time there is one of these a muppet’s family Christmas is always skipped and in my opinion is the best

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

@@gralicears6384 I admit, I thought it wasn't a real movie when I made this video. I would have included it had my brain been larger at the time lol.

[@gralicears6384]

@ thank you I really appreciate this💗💗💗also I believe you have a large brain because this rating was a 10/10

[@AbrasiousProductions]

you've done it again rockotar, you've made yet another masterpiece of a video, I applaud you purple hatted sir👍

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

Thank you very much my good fellow.

Muppet movie, muppet caper, muppets from space, and muppets most wanted have shaped what I find funny. Muppets are the best.

[@harleyludy6596]

While I wouldn't put it at 1, I am so grateful for more love for Muppets Most Wanted. It is vastly underrated and has so many great musical, comedic, and puppetry moments.

56:39 I think you really hit the nail on the head with your analysis of the ending and message of Muppets from Space. As a fan of the film, not only because it focuses on Gonzo (my favorite muppet), I think it’s as funny and heartwarming as the highly regarded. It’s a shame that this movie is so looked down upon

[@Elijahyar21]

Really well made video I may not agree with all of these placements but it’s neat that we share the same top 3 movies

[@smcphee8499]

Needed this video. I’m going through my muppets phase again. Anyway my top 10 muppet movies ranking 1 The great muppet caper 2 Muppets most wanted 3 Muppet Christmas carol 4 The muppets 2011 5 The muppet movie 6 Muppets from space 7 Muppets treasure island 8The muppets takes Manhattan 9 Muppets Haunted Mansion 10 The Muppet’s Wizard of Oz Had a hard time picking between Most wanted and the Great Muppet Caper. The great muppet caper is number 1 because it focus more on the muppets. Other edit after watch muppets haunted mansion and rewatching muppets from space I change my list.

[@grathem9789]

Honestly i always looked over the muppet movies and thought "oh their just downright for kids" the only movie i actually liked was The Muppet Movie but after this ranking i think i will give these movies a try and see what are you talking about.

[@grathem9789]

@USANATV2007 yeah im going to go in release order starting with the one I thought was good.

[@gregorydain4847]
