I agree that it's the worst thing they've ever done, but I still like it.
And at one point, SCOOTER WAS A CAGE DANCING GO GO DANCER!
I mean, this movie just karmically repaid the debts from Muppet Christmas Carol ten-thousand fold. It was so good, I can hardly believe it's real.
And I really love 1987's A Muppet Family Christmas. Used to watch this movie Rodent/Young Guns style -- over and over and over -- as a kid. Even when it wasn't Christmas!
Two awesome Muppet Christmas movies, one REALLY bad one. I'd love to see another Muppet Christmas movie someday.
