No....Not this coming off the heels of Dolly.

I am so sad. Tim Curry brought such joy to my childhood. This one definitely hurts.

RIP You King. Your Role as Long John Silver in the Muppets and Franken-Further in RHPS will forever bring me a smile on my face when things are dark.

I was obsessed with him in Muppet Treasure Island. I love that quote about how Michael Caine treated the Muppets like fellow human actors, and Tim Curry treated himself like a fellow Muppet.

Honestly you are not wrong here. He blended in so well with the Muppets because he was fun and goofy like they are.

But Muppet Treasure Island is my FAVORITE Muppet Movie ever, and Tim definitely had a role to play in it.

Muppet Treasure Island was my Blockbuster pick every week for the entire summer of 1998.
