Overall
The Muppet Movie is a classic family film with singable songs and plenty of slap stick comedy. Because this is an older film some of the jokes might not be as relevant for younger audiences but I’m sure the older viewers will love the throw back references. Overall, this is a great film to watch as a family with especially elementary aged children. Younger children may be bothered by some of the instances where characters are in perilous situation but most children will enjoy The Muppet Movie.
