One of the better Muppet features in recent years, MUPPETS FROM SPACE begins with Gonzo wondering where he came from and then promptly receiving messages from his alien brethren. Though the rest of the Muppet clan believe Gonzo insane, especially after he announces his revelation on Mrs. Piggy's talk show, he arouses the interest of an idiotic government official, which leads to his imprisonment. Kermit reluctantly realizes Gonzo is in trouble and brings his fellow Muppets to try and help him escape. This one features a soundtrack made up of mostly 70s funk and introduces a new Muppet - Pepe the prawn, who gets quite a few laughs here. [More]

This ain't Pigs in Space, but it's pretty good regardless.

The Muppets are on their best behavior here, meaning that they basically drive everyone around them nuts.

Let me make things clear: I still like the Muppets, but an increase in quality is in serious need.

It's not the plot that's important with these things, it's the jokes, and that's the problem, what should be a real laugh-fest is only moderately amusing.

All of the characters have been replaced by humorless pod creatures.

Muppets from Space proves that, without a solid script, a Muppet movie can be just as bad as any other dud.

The litmus test is whether kids will enjoy it and I'd imagine that they will.
