    The way he plays it straight makes the movie.

      “Muppet Christmas Carol” works because Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors.

      “Muppet Treasure Island” works because Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow muppet.

        I love this axiom so much. If for no other reason than it gives me an excuse to think of all Tim Curry’s muppet-esq behavior in everything else he’s ever done

          He was serious and droll in Clue, but it was still hilariously done

      A friend said to me: “It’s great because Michael Caine acts like the Muppets are real, and Treasure Island is great because Tim Curry acts like he’s a Muppet.”
