Best Muppet Movie?


I've always felt that Muppets Take Manhattan represents the culmination of the entire Muppets franchise. There are several reasons why: the fact that it's the last one made during Jim Henson's lifetime, the fact it was the first one made after the show ended (Great Muppet Caper technically came out after it ended, but there was some overlap), and the fact that it's the best directed film in the series (with Frank Oz going on to a be a successful director in his own right).

But I think this is best cemented by the way this movie ends: Kermit and Piggy's wedding. That whole sequence is so fun, yet also strangely moving, and I think one of the most magical endings ever to a movie. I feel like that scene is the absolute peak of the franchise: Kermit and Piggy are now married! It was a great note to end on and a great finale for Jim Henson's involvement in the series.

I honestly don't think any of the Muppet movies of the '90's had the magic of that wedding sequence.
