Back cover summary
Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate tale takes on life of its own in the hands of the hilarious Muppets! Muppet Treasure Island - the Muppets' very first action-adventure - is the fun-packed, music-filled, swashbuckler the entire family will enjoy over and over.
It all begins with young Jim Hawkins inherits a long-lost map to a pirate's treasure. Jim hires the great ship Hispaniola where he meets the good Captain Smollet (Kermit the Frog) and the evil yet charming Long John Silver (Tim Curry). With adventure in their hearts and treasure chests of gold in their eyes, they set sail on the bounding main only to discover danger at every turn - including Benjamina Gunn (Miss Piggy), Treasure Island's worshipped lvoe goddess, who's dressed to kill!
Featuring a rollicking musical score by Academy Award - winning Hans Zimmer (The Lion King), Muppet Treasure Island is a real gem that "explodes with wit, weirdness and widly inventive fun" (New York Post)!

Trivia
- The features from the 2002 DVD release were not carried to the 2005 DVD due to disc capacity to save enough for other stuff like trailers and such, but they were made available for the 2013 blu-ray release along with other interesting features such as "Let the Good Shine Out" that comes from the Muppet Sing Along video that was released on VHS in 1996. The intro and the hidden treasure clips were excluded from this blu-ray release.
