Muppet Breaker Upper

About This Movie

So, 'Muppet Breaker Upper' from '79 is this quirky little gem that stands out in the Muppet franchise. The film has this light-hearted, almost whimsical tone, mixing various skits like 'Wheels of Progress' and 'The Secret of Success.' It's got a playful atmosphere, perfect for fans of Muppet humor, but it's also packed with some surprisingly insightful commentary on selling and success, which adds depth. The practical effects are classic Muppet style, with puppetry that feels both charming and a bit raw, typical of the era. It's definitely a mix of fun and cheeky wisdom, making it distinctive in its approach to the Muppet narrative without needing a big-name director.

Muppet Breaker Upper is a bit of a rarity, often overlooked in favor of more prominent Muppet titles. Its original release was limited, and copies in good condition are hard to come by. Collectors tend to appreciate its unique blend of Muppet charm and practical effects, while also being on the lookout for any archival footage or behind-the-scenes material that might be hidden away. As with many Muppet titles, it has a dedicated following, but you won’t find it flooding the market anytime soon.
