Muppets Treasure Island is on Disney+.... Should I watch it and tweet my thoughts?
Wow. The support is unreal. Three vote and the majority rules. Making popcorn and getting situated. #MuppetsTreasureIsland
1st thoughts are that I am blasting this movie on a Saturday night. I am sure my neighbors are proud. What a great soundtrack so far. 20 seconds in and I have chills.
Gold and Blood. Flint let both behind that day. Starts out with a musical number. A perfect blend of puppet and people. #MuppetsTreasureIsland
WOOOOW!! Fifteen men went a shore that day and only Flint himself walked out alive. Dead men tell no tales. That is how you bury treasure. #MuppetsTreasureIsland
But Flint died before he could get back to the island and uncover the treasure. Billy Bones tells the tale in a bar. Reminiscing on an old tale.
The lightheartedness of the comic relief and puppetry really makes for a great contrast to the dark nature of a pirates life.
Real cinderella vibes here occuring with the orphan, rat, and gonzo. THEY ASPIRE TO SAIL THE HIGH SEAS AND FIND ADVENTURE!!
Enter song #2 !! 'When I could be an explorer, sailing off to distant lands... There's gotta be something better than this for me.' #MuppetsTreasureIsland
Oh snap. Billy Bones is back after hours trying to get more rum. What a classic drunk..... Oh no.... Someone is at the door. #MuppetsTreasureIsland
Its a blind pirate!!!!!! Here to find Billy Bones!!! He is seeking to give him the blind spot!!
*Black Spot* .... It is a pirates death sentence. They are coming to kill Billy Bones tonight!!!
WOOOOOOOOOW! He dies on the bed before the fight even begins! billy Bones gives Jim the map to old Flynns treasure!
I love how the bar owner (who is a woman) starts just absolutely wrecking the pirate puppet invaders.
Jim, gonzo, and the rat realize that their only option is to hunt for the treasure!!! SO THE ADVENTURE BEGINS!
The rich puppet investor who talks to his finger (Mr. Bimbo) and takes one look at the map before investing in the voyage just totally puts off #SiliconValley vibez.
Enter #TimCooks character... Arguably his best role ever.. what an amazing actor. From the first meeting he is already calling himself their friend. #LongJohnSilver
The. Captain. Approaches. Lollygaggers will suffer his wrath!! *From the stagecoach exits kermit the frog*
Rizzo (the rat) is selling tickets for other rats to take a leisurely cruise on the ship. I have just realized that this is how rats stowaway on a ship. WOOOOW these movies weren't made for kids.
ENTER SONG 3. HEY HOOOO SAILING DOR ADVENTUE ON THE BIG BLUE SEA!!
After a role call kermit calls an EMEEGEuNCY MEETING. It looks like they hired a crew based on Mr. Bimbos (the financiers finger) hired a crew on #LongJohnSilvers advice!

Kermit stands by no alcohol consumption on the ship!! Things aren't looking good for the captain!
#LongJohnSilver jokes about throwing over Jim's compass. Jim tells him it is his father's. Time for Long John to exploit this new info!

Quickly transitions into showing him what polaris (north star) is before he asks about why we are sailing south.
Rizzo and Gonzo are feeling left out. There were Jim's OG friends.

THEY JUST GOT KIDNAPPED! GONZO IS GETTING STRETCHED!! For some reason he enjoys it! He mentions he could have a future with the NBA 😂
KERMIT JUST LAID DOWN THE LAW. ORDERED JIM TO GIVE HIM THE MAP.

You can tell he didn't want to do this, how t he has to maintain his authority on the ship.
It's been 5 days since a breeze. People are starting to catch.....

CABIN FEVER!! QUE THE NEXT SONG
Mid song a character goes "I'd like to get my hands on whoever wrote this script."

This is the second or third time the movie has broken the fourth wall.
Jim let it slip that he had a treasure map to #LongJohnSilver !!! You can see the greed take over Long John's face.

This is just a testament to Tim Curry. What. An. Actor.
Absolutely going to have to pick this back up in the morning. Wow. BRB GIMME 7 HOURS AND I WILL CONTINUE THIS THREAD.
