About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a family-friendly Treasure Island riff packed with jokes, musical moments, and swashbuckling fun, especially if you liked The Muppet Christmas Carol; Not for you if you dislike silly humor or frequent songs.
Pros: catchy songs; goofy Muppet humor; lively pirate adventure | Cons: uneven song placement; some jokes miss; may scare young kids
