Family Flicks Film Series: Muppet Treasure Island
- This is a past program
Recommended for ages 6+*
Beloved by adults and kids alike, this zany musical take on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic children’s book features your favorite Muppets, including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear. Gonzo and Rizzo accompany young orphan Jim Hawkins on a perilous search for buried treasure made even more dangerous by Tim Curry’s slippery, scurvy Long John Silver. (1996, dir. Brian Henson, 35mm, color, 99 min.)
*All ages are welcome. Feel free to take a break with infants and toddlers in the theater lobby.
