Despite being a major Muppet fan (one could even say
I appreciate the Muppets on a much deeper level than you...), I'd somehow never seen the second ever feature-length Muppet movie,
The Great Muppet Caper, until this very week. Please don't ask me, a guy who practically wore out his VHS tape of
Muppets From Space and loved watching episodes of the first season of
The Muppet Show while he was growing up, has somehow gone this long in his life without seeing this 1981 comedy, but that's finally been rectified and I'm pleased to say that the wait was most certainly worth it.
The Great Muppet Caper is handily one of The Muppets strongest cinematic outings and a tremendous showcase for the kind of humor only these characters could do.
