It's funny. It's as cute as Paul Godfrey's hair. It has some nice songs. And, to borrow the title from one of them, sometimes it keeps Movin' Right Along.

The story is quite cleverly devised to take [the Muppets] through a gamut of miniature Hollywood movies - especially westerns. There is a great deal of cute and charming slapstick, an occasional spot of satire, and some excellent music.

"The Muppet Movie" may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a real miracle. It's a G-rated film that neither talks down to children nor puts adults to sleep, and it offers humor, fantasy and warmth for everyone.

"The Muppet Movie" is wholesome, witty, well-done and even - in its own way - engaging. That's a pretty impressive list for a film that is, more than anything else, just plain fun.
