The Great Muppet Caper (feat. Vaughn)
About this episode
The episode discusses the unexpected direction of 'The Great Muppet Caper' as a heist musical and its enjoyment years later.
(Spoiler Section Length - 6min 50sec) One might expect the second Muppet Movie to follow in the tracks of its predecessor, another tale about the Muppets origins, perhaps them forming the Muppet Show or something like that. But instead Henson opted to create a genre film, a heist film combined with a full-blown musical, tap-dancing and water ballet galore. Does this unexpected direction yield enjoyable results, especially so many years later? Let's find out!
