About

Synopsis

Muppet Treasure Island (1996) is a family comedy-adventure directed by Brian Henson — watch it online on iFILM. Tim Curry plays Long John Silver with full theatrical menace; Kermit the Frog captains the ship. Young Jim Hawkins teams up with the Muppet crew to sail after buried treasure, not knowing that Silver and his pirates have their own plans for the gold.

The Muppets rework Robert Louis Stevenson's novel into a mix of slapstick, songs, and genuine swashbuckling energy. Billy Connolly and Jennifer Saunders round out the live-action cast among the foam-and-felt ensemble. Director Henson — son of Muppets creator Jim Henson — keeps the pacing quick and the gags sharp, landing the story as both a solid pirate adventure and a comedy that works for adults watching alongside kids.
