Movies like The Muppets

Directed by Jim Henson, 'Labyrinth' is a fantastical adventure featuring David Bowie and a cast of imaginative puppet creatures. While more fantastical and darker than 'The Muppets,' its creative use of puppetry will fascinate those who appreciate Henson's artistry.

'The Muppet Christmas Carol' offers a Muppet's twist on Charles Dickens's classic tale. With Michael Caine as Scrooge and the Muppets in supporting roles, this film provides the same warmth and family-friendly comedy as 'The Muppets.'

The original 'The Muppet Movie' from 1979 is a must-see for fans of 'The Muppets,' as it tells the story of how the Muppets met. The film is filled with humor, heart, and the showbiz dreams that have become synonymous with the Muppets franchise.

In 'Muppet Treasure Island,' Jim Henson's creations embark on a high-seas adventure, taking on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate tale. The film's mix of adventure, comedy, and musical elements will appeal to those who enjoyed the joyous spirit of 'The Muppets.'

'The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland' features Sesame Street's Elmo in his very own movie. With a storyline suitable for the youngest of audiences and the same Henson-created charm, this film is a good fit for fans looking for more Muppet-like fun.

'The Great Muppet Caper' is another classic Muppet film where Kermit, Fozzie, and the gang find themselves in the midst of a jewel heist in London. It's a delightful comedy caper that retains the charm and whimsical style of 'The Muppets.'
