I watched this film with my kids when they were very young; four or five. I was always amused by it, though other adults might not enjoy it. Regardless, it's a great film for kids. The songs are catchy and the characters are great. There is no sex, language or violence, though in one threatening scene (the most tense in the movie, but it's still comical) one man brandishes a gun. Great movie.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Great Muppet Caper
Parents need to know that old-school Hollywood musicals are a major source of the spoofing here. You can explain to young viewers about the MGM spectacles of yesteryear (especially those starring Esther Williams) as providing a model for the sprawling land/sea/air dream ballets that go on here, mostly between Kermit and Miss Piggy.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how each Muppet movie that came after the first one in 1979 has made tuneful fun of a particular type of classic movie, from "Christmas Carol" adaptations to the science fiction of Muppets in Space to this heist-film takeoff. Ask kids which ones are their favorites and why.
