This film is set in a fantasy world, telling a simple but enjoyable story of a quest to find a shard piece of a crystal before the three suns align together. Although I usually do not like puppet based films, I enjoyed this film as the story kept me interested.
If you are interested in fantasy films, this one has it all, brand new creatures in a made up world, things you usually do not find in the majority of films. The people that created the Muppets worked on the creatures in this enjoyable film.
