Every Muppet Movie Ranked Worst To Best

8. Muppets From Space

A real black sheep of the Muppet family, this film was not a shining example of the standard that the characters usually brought, and even became their last theatrical project for another twelve years. While there is a lot of valid negativity around this film, it still needs to be said that the feature is entirely inoffensive. It's not a terrible movie, just an inadequate representation of the quality expected from this franchise.

Eventually, in a silly family-friendly series, there comes a time when sci-fi elements are introduced, and it often acts as a last-ditch attempt to make the property fresh again. In the case of Muppets from Space, this attempt feels misplaced, as the characters have always been grounded in reality, despite being puppets.

One of the most significant omissions from the film is the fact that it doesn't feature original music, opting instead to utilise classic Funk and Soul tracks. This instantly strips it of charm as the astounding musical numbers were a central selling point for the franchise, and this decision felt lazy.

When even Frank Oz says that the film was "not the movie we wanted it to be." then you know it's a weak point for the series.
