About This Movie

Muppets from Space is a curious entry in the Muppet universe, directed by Tim Hill. The film has a quirky charm and a loose narrative that feels more like a series of fun skits strung together than a tight plot. It dives into Gonzo's backstory with a blend of adventure and comedy, while the pacing is a bit uneven—sometimes dragging in spots but often bursting with Muppet energy. The performances are classic Muppet: Jim Henson’s legacy shines through with some great puppet work and a fun soundtrack. The practical effects, especially for the alien designs, add a certain nostalgic feel. It's a bit offbeat and not for everyone, but if you're into Muppet lore, there's enough here to appreciate.

Released on July 14, 1999, in the US.Features a mix of practical effects and puppeteering.Includes cameos from actors like Jeffrey Tambor and David Arquette.Soundtrack features songs by the band 'The Muppets.'
