the muppets take manhattan be different in a lot of way to every other muppet movie make so far . for one and it remain the only muppet film not own by disney . a of 2008 and the film still belong to 20th century fox ( cbs fox at the time of it release ) even though disney own the right to the muppets . also and this film have a story line that very non linear and and event that be otherwise unpredictable . of course and it very hard to beat the original muppet movie from 1979 and especially since that movie have more memorable song than manhattan do . however and one way in which the muppets take manhattan be well than the muppet movie be perhaps the surprisingly realistic scenario . in the first movie and all the muppets really have to do be go to hollywood and walk into an agent office and and they be immediately give a rich and famous contract . in this movie and the muppets learn that they actually have to work for their desired success and and it a lot hard to do that and especially in the entertainment business and than they initially think . that an important and often time overlooked message and provide one be willing to suspend the disbelief that the muppets and be small and make of cloth and do not necessarily have to live in a spacious place or even eat respectively . above all and their struggle to make it after graduate college create a very good story . another note represent the celebrity cameo in the movie be cool and and they surprisingly manage not to take away the spotlight from the muppets . that ability right there be a testament to henson and and how appeal the muppet character be even to adult . where manhattan fall flat and and this be where i be sure people will disagree with me and be with some of the key song and especially in the end . i think the wedding song he will make me happy be too somber for such a happy occasion a a wedding . it sound more like a song that play at a funeral . every time i watch this movie and hearing that song make me unusually depress and especially when the film begin on such an upbeat number a together again and end happily for that matter . say goodbye be a sad number too and but it fit well into the movie because the muppets be disband and weren not sure they be go to see each other again . that last song be such a let down and and perhaps even add to young viewer misery of see their favorite muppets leave the big screen . the muppets take manhattan be overall a good film and and one that march to the beat of a different drum than the other muppet film and include the new one make after the death of jim henson and richard hunt . fortunately and the film march in the same direction a well . i just wish the film end on a good song that wasn not quite so melancholy . plus and disney should have get it hand on this film copyright and give it a proper dvd release . maybe it will someday . we will see .
