    By the way, let me know what you think of my inclusion of sound bites at the beginning of each spot on the list (when it displays the number).
    I thought I'd try it out here, Schaffrillas does this in his ranking videos and its great, but I don't want to be accused of copying him. However the sound bites add so much charm to each entry on the list before the main commentary comes in, and I wanted to do that here.
    So let me know if I should keep doing that in my future ranking videos or not.

    • @RanterInShades

      I was gonna say, the Schaffrillas influence is very apparent here. I actually think ending the segments with Statler and Waldorf was a clever touch.

    I dont mean to be disrespectful, but some of your critiques come across as though you don't understand the Muppets or the time it was made in.
    "Kermit is too mean" Kermit was a pretty big grouch in the original Muppet Show. He fatshamed Piggy, called his costars idiots, etc. He was the stressed-out producer archetype.
    And a lot of the "pointless scenes" that seem useless to the plot are bits. The Muppets borrows heavily from Vaudeville, so their movies have an overall plot but its filled with guest stars and random gags. That's the format. Its like a Mel Brooks movie; not everything has to be this tight, relevant plot-important beat.

    Everything you said about The Muppets 2011 is so accurate to how I feel about it. Since I saw it, Walter has been my favorite Muppets character; his passion for the Muppets really drives this movie for me. You can tell how deeply he cherishes the Muppets for what they are, how much meaning and happiness he gained from them. He is so willing to help them see that, he actually has to learn to step out of his own comfort zone. To me, that’s such a powerful arc for a protagonist to have. And boy are the songs BANGERS! They’re emotionally resonating, wholesome, hilarious, catchy, and nothing short of joyful ☺️ I’m so glad to live in a day and age where The Muppets got a film that paid such a beautiful homage to their history, as well as to the heart and soul of the man who created them ❤️

    35:38 I'm a Muppets take Manhattan fan, but that stems from childhood nostalgia as I'd watch this one the most as a kid hahaha. I wouldn't say it's terrible by any means, there are some really lovely moments, my favourite probably being when Kermit yells from the top of a skyscraper about how he refuses to give up (makes me tear up). Also I highly recommend Little Shop of Horrors (1986) also directed by Oz- the direction in that film is so expressive and stylish, especially during the musical sequences (seek out the directors cut if you can). Great video, long live the Muppets

    46:35 There was two reasons, 1. The Henson family requested it feeling the muppeteer was too unprofessional and too protective over the character for their liking and 2. Steve refused to have an understudy and train him to be Kermit for smaller events like talk shows, WWE etc since Disney has a rule where all the characters must have a double actor in case the original can’t come back for a project ( Jim Hanks and Tom Hanks for example )

    The Muppets (2011) While I don’t remember much from it, I do remember the climax being great, the songs being brilliant (especially Am I A Man Or A Muppet) and the We Built This City montage being peak cinema.
    Muppets Most Wanted… aaah~ The history my family has with this movie. We bought it one DVD and loved it ever since. It’s actually become a part of our normal lives know, with my dad constantly quoting the interrogation song. Plus the plot was genius, and it had Ricky Gervais in it.
    And… finally… Muppets Christmas Carol. The greatest way to experience A Christmas Carol in movie form. And also a wonderful adaptation that doesn’t dampen, but instead adds to the meaningful message of a legendary novella. Our family has a tradition where we watch it every Christmas Eve, due to Kermit’s song After All There’s Only One More Sleep Til Christmas. Micheal Caine is a legendary actor who plays Scrooge perfectly, and there is never a dull moment throughout the movie, and the songs never fail to bring me to the brink of tears. Good bless us, everyone.

    I'm honestly amazed at how much better Muppet Christmas Carol gets every year. It somehow manages to capture the spirit of the book while at the same time being true to the Muppet humor without it overtaking the messages and meanings of Dickens' story. And every Muppet is just cast so perfectly in their roles. Ironically enough whenever I think of Bob Crachitt, I just think of Kermit because he's just the perfect embodiment of what made the character so endearing. Same with Michael Caine's performance as the boss man himself. Whenever I reread the book, I just naturally hear his voice.
    And no, this is not coming from a nostalgia point of view as I only saw the film for the first time three years ago. I just think it's a tremendous movie that critics and audiences slept on when it was released. It is a beautiful love letter to Brian Henson's father and to the story Dickens wrote.

    I liked the Moulin Scrooge! scene in AVMMCM, but that's because I love the original, and because I like any fourth wall break regarding that trope when multiple people in a musical sing different things at the same time.
    Edit: I like Muppets Take Manhattan but the vibe is very weird. People don't make films like that anymore, where it's purposefully low key and there's no real villain except life itself and the jokes are there to make you smile rather than laugh.
    It's like that film with Frank Sinatra and two other famous singers who are sailors who get shore leave, and they don't really do much for the entire film aside from get girlfriends.

    0:43 no it’s actually according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, that they declare a feature film to be more that 40 minutes long anything less is considered a short film.

    my first experience with the muppet’s wizard of oz occurred when my sunday school teacher (also the pastor’s wife) took me to blockbuster while babysitting me and allowed me to choose one movie to enjoy after my naptime. me, being a young and blunt (read: autistic) child I immediately recognized muppet media as a comfort franchise that allowed me to engage in some form of routine and requested the dvd off the shelf with some curiosity since I had never seen it. I have never and will never forget her reaction. she had some very interesting words for my parents about monitoring my viewing habits (although my mom found it incredibly funny).

      Guess he seemed so unimportant that I forgot. They probably should have put a small emphasis on him for a brief moment to make the audience wonder what he is thinking, that way when he shows up again we remember who he is and realize what what was being hinted at before.

    I think you really hit the nail on the head with your analysis of the ending and message of Muppets from Space. As a fan of the film, not only because it focuses on Gonzo (my favorite muppet), I think it’s as funny and heartwarming as the highly regarded. It’s a shame that this movie is so looked down upon

    You're ranking is yours, and it's totally legit. You say you're a younger person and the newer films hit your favor. I get your current rankings, bc of that.
    Based on your criteria, I think you skipped over 3 titles.... The Lady Gaga Xmas special, Emmett Otter, and the Great Santa Switch. Maybe the last 2 are too old to make the cut, and Gaga was only a Muppet feature. It doesn't really matter.
    As someone who grew up with them Muppets in the 70s/80s, I want you to rethink the 2 new movies when you rewatch them.
    I'll admit, I'm a little jaded about Most Wanted bc I saw it in theaters with a friend who was from Georgia (the country, not state), and never seen a Muppet movie before. They were quite offended by the low-brow gulag humor. Tina Faye and the whole Gulag plot is uncomfortably racist.
    Meanwhile, I heard a whole Muppets reboot hinged on the Walter movie. As a stand alone, it's cute.... But as a relaunch of a franchise it was absolutely terrible. The plot was "NO one cares about the Muppets anymore. Let's do a fundraiser to save the Muppets, and ultimately... It proves that no one cares about the Muppets anymore."
    If the plot conclusion of a franchise revival is 'folks really aren't interested'.... Idk how they even got a sequel!
    I really liked the new 'the muppets' TV show, but Disney aired it on ABC during the" death of broadcast tv"... Killing the property after low views.
    You didn't really like Muppets Take Manhattan, but I challenge that this is exactly what makes good Muppets. No villian, Kermit or Muppet as main character (M from Space?). Manhattan is a very 80s plot, and I don't blame you for being bored by jokes I cackle at as a GenXer. IMHO, that scene bt Piggy and Joan Rivers is about the funniest skit ever, en par with Jean Stapleton and Crazy Harry. It's not timeless, but it's iconic for it's time.
    Perhaps that's the indefatigable conundrum of the Muppets. There is a desire to keep them present, bc they feel timeless..... But they, in fact, are not.
    Henson invented their innocent/absurdist humor. Parallel with Monty Python, they transformed the humor of the 60/70s...but while the Pythons got old, puppets never age. It's why they're more successful performing established tales VS new stories of their own.
    The Muppets need a visionary leader (free of the Disney leash holders)... Or they will decay to the status of Disney props.
    If they are regulated to intrepting existing works, Fuck this Gatsby movement! I want watch the Muppets perform THE VISIT. Piggy as Claire, Kermit as Authur. Gawd, it might be the best Muppets ever!

    I also put Muppets Take Manhattan pretty low on my list. It has some good moments and songs, but for me it seems the most dated of the theatrical films. Like "Space" feels a little 90s, but MTM straight up feels like an "80s Movie". Muppet movies should feel timeless, but by making 1980s NYC the center piece of the movie, it dates the whole thing.

That being said, there’s some absolute shit tied to this franchise (mostly the specials, the movies at their worst are Muppets in Space which is like a 3-4/10 for me)

    I will say in defense of the one where you said it randomly turns into it's a wonderful life, I was clearly its a wonderful life the whole time. Most people only know the ending bit but almost the ENTIRE movie of that movie is God telling an angel about all of the tragedies that happened to the main character by showing it out to the audience and most of them are created because of the evil guy from the bank. Actually that scene where Fozzie has a major mix up with the santa bag is accurate too. In its a wonderful life the main characters uncle looses a ton of money and the character goes bankrupt causing the part of the movie everyone knows about. Like I'm sure the muppets version is bad but that's definitely accurate to the actual movie

    9 Muppets Haunted Mansion
    10 The Muppet’s Wizard of Oz
    Had a hard time picking between Most wanted and the Great Muppet Caper. The great muppet caper is number 1 because it focus more on the muppets.
