Muppets from Space
When Gonzo's breakfast cereal tells him that he's the descendant of aliens from another planet, his attempts at extraterrestrial communication get him kidnapped by a secret government agency, prompting the Muppets to spring into action to rescue their friend.
Critics Sentiment
Gonzo's alien family arrives at Cape Doom in their spacecraft
Singer plans to surgically remove Gonzo's brain for research
The film recovers from its weakest government facility sequences to deliver emotional payoff when Gonzo finally meets his alien family
Muppets from Space follows a fairly standard sentiment arc that starts well with Gonzo's premise, dips significantly during the plodding government facility sequences that lack typical Muppet humor, then recovers for a heartfelt if somewhat rushed finale. Critics consistently praised individual Muppet moments and characters while lamenting the film's missing musical numbers, reliance on 70s funk instead of original songs, and failure to fully capitalize on its space adventure premise.
