About Muppet Treasure Island

Parents need to know that the beginning of the film takes place in a pub and there are some drunken characters (but not Muppets). There are also some fight scenes, though there is no blood, or stuffing, shed.

    I rate this title off for age 2 and give it 1.0

    I think it's age appropriate for 8 year olds but not 6 year old

    When I was six I watched Muppet treasure and I was really scared but now I would call it okay.

    I rate this title on for age 5 and give it 2.0

    Ok - not great - for the older end of the age range

    There's more violence and peril in this movie than I'm comfortable with for my 5 yo son. Tons of guns too - couldn't be a pirate without them I guess. We watched it once and will stick to the other Muppet movies.
