Tales from Muppetland: The Frog Prince

This was a fantastic special. Jim Henson, and his puppeteering crew did a great job on this humorous take on the fairy tale classic. It also introduces us to Robin Kermit's nephew, and Sweetums (who scared me, and I had nightmares about that muppet for years! No seriosly it's true!) a large full costumed muppet. All in all this was a great special that shouldn't be missed.

I remember this movie well from when I was little--I saw it many times. I can still remember the king screwing up the joke the grand vizier told, and the "sweetums lay your ugly head" song is still memorable. I haven't seen the film in probably 15 years now. Does anyone know where one could get a copy of this classic?

This movie provides the cleverness of Jim Henson's muppets and a pleasing twist to the classic tale of the Frog Prince. Aunt Taminella puts a spell on Princess Melora so that she can only speak backwards. Even the songs she sings have backwards lyrics.

This movie made such an impression on my youngest child when she watched it at around age 4, and what seemed forever after, that when she turned 19 (the age of Princess Melora when she sang her birthday song), she could still sing this song - and pretty much every other song in the movie.

I rate this movie to be the most well-done of the muppet movies, though probably not the most watched or most advertised. If you can get your hands on a copy from the video store, watch it with your kids. Or just alone!

This was the first video I ever owned as a child, and it truly is as wonderful and entertaining to watch today as it was back then. I have introduced my nieces and nephews to it, as well as their friends. I also have had some grown friends watch it, and they can enjoy it too, because Jim Henson's talent lies in the fact that his films are enjoyable for the whole family. The songs contained in The Frog Prince are adorable, but beware - the kids will be singing them for hours!

I remember seeing this special a long time ago on cable TV and I enjoyed it. I don't remember a lot but it was very entertaining. I especially loved the frogs and the princess who speaks in nonsense. I wouldn't mind watching it again. I wonder if a streaming service has it? Please bring it back?
