26 Inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational Photos from Muppet Treasure Island

There are few things in life as pure and perfect as the Muppets. Maybe a warm bagel. Or a nap you didn't plan. But really, it's the Muppets. Muppet Treasure Island, in particular, is that sweet spot where childhood joy meets actual cinematic brilliance. The jokes hit (at least 90% of the time, let's be honest), the songs slap, and the felt-based facial expressions somehow convey more emotion than most human actors in blockbuster films.

But what gets me - what always gets me - is the craftsmanship. These characters aren't just puppets, they're soul-delivering, joy-manifesting wonders of design. You can tell who they are before they even speak. That's magic. That's Jim Henson and Frank Oz and a team of wizard-level puppeteers doing what they do best.

So here are 26 behind-the-scenes and promo photos from Muppet Treasure Island that'll have you smiling, singing, and maybe softly yelling "Cabin Fever!" at your screen.
