Just look at the characters they're pale grey dead looking skin is mortifying LOL. Wtf were they thinking labeling this as a Jim Henson movie then making a morbidly grotesque parody of his work? They should be ashamed. I mean really in 2015 no one has the wits or personality to make their own movie?

That's not even mentioning the hollow lifeless acting.

Idk if its too much porn, illegal downloading or 911 or maybe a combination of the 3, but in the 2000's in general, movies have been sucking, hard.

Discuss.

I'm hoping you're just trolling, but knowing the internet... You probably aren't.

It's called "Jim Henson's" because the movie is based off of an old script and the muppets themselves that was written and developed by Jim back in the day, then never made. If you watch it knowing that, the story structure and flow of the movie has a very late seventies vibe and flow to it. I really rather enjoyed it.

I'm not sure what you were expecting from a made for TV Thanksgiving movie featuring muppets, but I was expecting a charming and retro flick with some family values, a bit of humor and some cool scary-cute monsters. Apart from never having a sing-along moment, I came away totally happy.
