About the event
Muppet Treasure Island (30th Anniversary)
Set sail with Kermit, Miss Piggy and the motley Muppet crew, as they join Tim Curry's Long John Silver for a maritime Muppet-tacular adventure, in Brian Henson's swashbuckling adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic.
The fun begins when young Jim Hawkins, with pals Gonzo, Rizzo and notorious one-legged pirate Long John Silver board a rickety ship on a quest for buried treasure. Commanded by the dashing Captain Smollet and his all Muppet crew, the motley bunch sails for a remote island. There, Silver and his mutinous clan of cut-throats kidnap young Jim and his treasure map!
An absolute family classic, traversing the seven seas with the help of the Muppets’ signature inimitable charm, this wonderfully playful spin on Robert Louis Stevenson’s literary great is the perfect family voyage aboard the good ship Tyneside!
Screening as part of Moving Parts Puppet Film Fest!
Director: Brian Henson
