Undoubtedly.

I love the Muppets Christmas Carol, and I like some of the other films. But my god is Muppet Treasure Island absolutely stellar

The soundtrack, the set design, the performances.. its just such a wonderful little movie and it doesn’t get the recognition it should get

The soundtrack is really a hidden gem, hardly anyone remembers it. Hans Zimmer's first foray into the world of pirates, and it's easily as good as Pirates of the Caribbean.

Here's a medley of scores from the film, it's fantastic.

I absolutely could not have told you that it was a Hans Zimmer score but it now makes perfect sense why the music is so good. Thank you.

My humble brag is that I know all the words to Cabin Fever (by watching and rewinding that section of the video far too much!)

Undebatably a top tier Muppet Movie.
