Featured reviews
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.
This was the first video I ever owned as a child, and it truly is as wonderful and entertaining to watch today as it was back then. I have introduced my nieces and nephews to it, as well as their friends. I also have had some grown friends watch it, and they can enjoy it too, because Jim Henson's talent lies in the fact that his films are enjoyable for the whole family. The songs contained in The Frog Prince are adorable, but beware - the kids will be singing them for hours!
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 watched this movie when it first aired on TV. We picked up the LP after the special aired, and we were not able to see the film again :(
However, decades later and I,as an adult, still remember "Ni'm Ineteen, Ni'm Ineteen, by mirthday's do tay..... "
I have to list this as one of my all time favorite Muppet movies, and will search for a digital copy so that I can show my grandchildren the joy of muppet theater.

I have just seen this movie for the first time so I do not have fond childhood memories about it. I was not really impressed by the start but the movie sort of grew a bit on me in the later part. It is in my opinion not a masterpiece but a foretelling about what would later come. I had hoped for more muppets and less people.
It is a fair way to spend your time but unless looking for something to see with the kids then it is not worth searching long and hard for.
