Muppets Haunted Mansion Reviews!

 Today we get to enter Muppets Haunted Mansion for ourselves.

But before you do, be wary of reviews that spoil the fun! So let's get the negative ones out of the way. 

Joblow: said Muppets Haunted Mansion is "better than Muppets from Space but that isn’t saying much. A brisk watch with some fun pop culture references, this is a diversion that markets Disney’s classic theme park ride and that is about it. Muppets Haunted Mansion is fun but squanders the potential to have been really good. As it is, Muppets fans will enjoy it but wonder where the edge is that used to make these characters destination viewing."

Comic Book Resources: "It's frustrating when projects like Muppets Haunted Mansion rehash the same comedy bits as earlier Muppet films and series, rather than finding more inventive ways of keeping the brand evergreen.

The Hollywood Reporter: said Muppets Haunted Mansion is "definitely feels like a disappointment."

However, it's not all doom (buggy) and gloom. 

Micechat: Said "If Disney+ wants a model for how to please fans of the Muppets and fans of Disney Parks, it looks just like this."

The Playlist praised Muppets Haunted Mansion as "a fun, spooky ride that perfectly utilizes Jim Henson’s creations."

Geeks World Wide: added that "With a wave of the wand (Disney) has given the Muppets new life. Or afterlife at least." and with a SCORE: 9.8 said "It’s scary how funny the Muppets can be if you just let them. Don’t ya just love em…to death."

Rotten Tomatoes currently has Muppets Haunted Mansion at 88% while the audience score is 83%, so a pretty even consensus there. 

IGN: proclaims it's a "seasonal winner because of the ingenious mix of Halloween with two much-loved properties that all blend together perfectly. From the production design to the cameos, all down the way to Gonzo’s impactful and wee bit scary lesson about the importance of your family, this whole special lands the trick of being a huge treat."

Finally our friends at Toughpigs said Muppets Haunted Mansion is "full of tricks and treats, but it’s not much more substantial than a ghost. Like it’s inspiration, it’s an entertaining ride."

The full reviews are available at the link above, but take the ride for yourself first as  Muppets Haunted Mansion is streaming now on Disney+.

Constantine, The World's Most Dangerous (Armless) Puppet!

Kidrobot not only has a "Rainbow Connection Kermit plush" from The Muppets, they're going full sequel and releasing a Muppets Most Wanted Constantine plush hand puppet as well.

As you can see Constantine comes with his signature hooded robe and mole but seems to be missing something else...

See if you can put your "finger" on it?

They're really keeping him at "arms" length...

It's probably on the "tip" of your tongue...

"Thumbs" up if you realized this Constantine hand puppet has no hands or arms of his own! Which means you won't be able to recreate any of Constantine's fun gestures, like the one's below... Yeesh. 

Below is the official description:

New Rainbow Connection Kermit Plush!

Why are there so many Kermit plush without rainbows? Well, at least now there's one!

Kidrobot has a new "Rainbow Connection Kermit" Plush complete with banjo.

The 13" plush is being released to celebrate the 10th(!!) anniversary of The Muppets.

While the rainbow is plush, sadly the banjo looks to be just thin fabric and without Kermit's "K."
