7 songs in the Soundtracks.
I believe this is the first Muppet movie I've watched; haven't found others online.
Just shrugworthy. Very much aimed at young children, although it has verbal references to films like Titanic ('97) and Dr. Zhivago ('65), which are aimed at adults. Such grown-up easter eggs are too few to keep my interest.
But for MP as the villain Huxley, this would have earned a 5. He had only 1 song, as did VW.
