History YMMV / MuppetTreasureIsland

* ViewerGenderConfusion: They just had to find the most androgynous-looking boy in TheNineties, dress him up in frilly clothes, and give him falsetto songs, just to confuse the children. According to the commentary, the actor actually went through puberty during filming, so they had to over-dub his singing performances with older recordings of the songs. This was lampshaded by Blind Pew early on, who kept calling/refering to Jim as a girl.

* HarsherInHindsight: Silver mentions during the description of the Hercules constellation that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he killed his own children in a fit of madness]], before staying that he will [[PapaWolf protect Hawkins]] from any madmen that would come after him. The next morning after this constellation lesson, Hawkins learns of Silver's mutiny, making the line a bit of a TearJerker.

** Gonzo's diversion in the final part of the 3-disc [=CD-ROM=]. This involves him and Rizzo running around the Beach and the Jungle in an attempt to distract the pirates from finding the treasure. It amounts to nothing since the pirates don't even notice them and find the treasure trove anyway. When Gonzo attempts to try this again while Hawkins continues the search, Rizzo tells him not to.

* CharacterRerailment: The 3-disc [=CD-ROM=] Adventure Game portrays Fozzie closer to his usual self. While still playing the Squire's "Half-wit son", he interacts more with Kermit/Smollet and makes his typical bad jokes.

* HarsherInHindsight: In the 3-Disc CD-ROM, Silver mentions during the description of the Hercules constellation that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he killed his own children in a fit of madness]], before staying that he will [[PapaWolf protect Hawkins]] from any madmen that would come after him. The next morning after this constellation lesson, Hawkins learns of Silver's mutiny, making the line a bit of a TearJerker.

** The 3-disc [=CD-ROM=] cranks it up, by making him more of an AffablyEvil pirate that [[IShallTauntYou likes to mock]] Hawkins as he progresses through the adventure.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: The PC game on CD-Rom is surprisingly enjoyable and features the full cast -- save for Hawkins, who is the PlayerCharacter.

* {{Narm}}: The Black Spot scene, Billy Bones' death and many others. [[NarmCharm Probably intentional.]]

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: According to Brian Henson, the initial impetus for the film was that they realised filming a Muppet movie on a realistic ship would be almost impossible, and therefore wanted to try it.

** “Shiver My Timbers” is one of the most recognizable songs of the movie. It gives a vivid description of what pirates are like and how far they will go for treasure.

--> "I'd like to get my hands on/[[WhoWritesThisCrap Whoever wrote this script]]".

* UncannyValley: PlayedForLaughs when Smollett challenges Long John to a duel - he leaps to him in a very strange and unnerving way (namely by somersaulting constantly and being obviously chroma keyed into the scene) … except it looks utterly hilarious rather than creepy.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** They don't call the guy Clueless Morgan for nothing.
** Jim had one moment where he told Long John Silver where the map was -- within easy earshot of Mad Monty, Polly, and Clueless Morgan.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Piggy: "Hello, Loooooong John." Kermit: "What? Him too?" Apparently Miss Piggy dated him -- in addition to Flint -- after Kermit abandoned her. Try not to think about the details.

* VindicatedByHistory: At the time it was first released, it was seen by-and-large as a passable but inferior follow-up to ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'' and the weakest of the theatrically-released Muppet movies at that time. Nowadays, the film is '''hugely''' popular with millennials who watched it as kids, the film likely serving as their introduction to the Muppets beyond ''Christmas Carol'' and ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 Muppet Babies'' reruns due to the semi-elusive nature of the original three Muppet films and ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' in the 90s.
