Just a stunning adaptation, plus Curry
Even if this did not have Curry in it, it would still have been a good adaptation of Stevenson's story. The muppets do the muppet-thing and it is silly, and funny, and light. It is just a good movie.

He fits well in with the rest of the cast, the manic energy matches the lightheart...read the rest
