Tales from Muppetland: The Frog Prince

This was a fantastic special. Jim Henson, and his puppeteering crew did a great job on this humorous take on the fairy tale classic. It also introduces us to Robin Kermit's nephew, and Sweetums (who scared me, and I had nightmares about that muppet for years! No seriosly it's true!) a large full costumed muppet. All in all this was a great special that shouldn't be missed.

I highly reccomend this movie. It is not trash it rules. This movie takes out the trash... films like A Man Apart.. Fast and Furious... Gone with the Wind. This film beats them all. Nothing can compare to Sir Robin the brave. No one scene will ever meet the true beauty of Sweetums chasing Kermit and Robbin around singing. Not even the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan will compare to the song Sir Robin the brave. This movie should be in the> Film Hall of Fame.

I remember this movie well from when I was little--I saw it many times. I can still remember the king screwing up the joke the grand vizier told, and the "sweetums lay your ugly head" song is still memorable. I haven't seen the film in probably 15 years now. Does anyone know where one could get a copy of this classic?

I remember seeing this special a long time ago on cable TV and I enjoyed it. I don't remember a lot but it was very entertaining. I especially loved the frogs and the princess who speaks in nonsense. I wouldn't mind watching it again. I wonder if a streaming service has it? Please bring it back?

This movie provides the cleverness of Jim Henson's muppets and a pleasing twist to the classic tale of the Frog Prince. Aunt Taminella puts a spell on Princess Melora so that she can only speak backwards. Even the songs she sings have backwards lyrics.

This movie made such an impression on my youngest child when she watched it at around age 4, and what seemed forever after, that when she turned 19 (the age of Princess Melora when she sang her birthday song), she could still sing this song - and pretty much every other song in the movie.

I rate this movie to be the most well-done of the muppet movies, though probably not the most watched or most advertised. If you can get your hands on a copy from the video store, watch it with your kids. Or just alone!
