The Great Muppet Caper (1981)

The music in this second Muppet film is less memorable than the songs in The Muppet Movie.

The music in this second Muppet film is less memorable than the songs in The Muppet Movie. But there is some great satire here of the huge production numbers of the movie musicals of the 1940s and '50s. "Miss Piggy" is one such overwrought MGM number, amusingly juxtaposing the hyper-romanticism of that era with the pig-and-frog jokes that inevitably comprise much Muppet humor. The best moments in this film, though, appear in the dialogue and not the songs.

These songs are never quite that funny. ~ Darryl Cater, Rovi Read Less
