Muppets From Space Dvd Views
At long last, the secret of just what the Great Gonzo happens to be is revealed! As Gonzo and his friend Rizzo hit the road in search of their roots, Gonzo makes a shocking discovery: his parents are actually space aliens from another galaxy. After announcing this startling news on Miss Piggy's talk show (hey, if Ricki Lake and Rosie O'Donnell can do it, why not Miss Piggy?), Gonzo finds himself the subject of a dark and mysterious government conspiracy, led by the nefarious K. Edgar Singer (Jeffrey Tambor). In time, Gonzo is forced to choose: should he hop on board the UFO and sail off to live with his family, or stay on Earth with the friends he knows and loves? Muppets From Space once again pairs the late Jim Henson's creations with a stellar cast of human beings, including F. Murray Abraham, David Arquette, Ray Liotta, and Andie MacDowell. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi All Movie Guide

Muppets From Space is one of those family films that old and young are able to enjoy together. Everything moves quickly, the colors are bright and there is enough physical humor to keep the kids transfixed. For the adults, there are enough witty asides and movie references to keep us interested and enough jokes to keep us laughing, most of the time. There are, of course, musical numbers galore with the opening dance number, a Muppets tradition, being a rocking version of the Commodore's 2"Brick Housep" that brings the house down.
Muppets From Space is being released from Columbia TriStar so you know it is going to look good and boy does it ever. This picture is just about perfect. The colors are bright but never too bright. Fleshtones on the human actors are true and lifelike. Blacks and dimly lit show no bleed whatsoever and are solid with remarkable detail.
