The Muppets - Do you still love them?

[Ghoulish Delight]

We thought we liked Muppets Treasure Island...until we saw it again without making out during half the movie.

A comment Morigoon made in the other Muppet thread kinda gets at my point.

Haha... things you don't expect to hear from a muppet:

"I'm going to have to administer some punishment to both of you." - Dr. Bunsen Honeydew

Actually, if you watch the Muppets of old, that's very much in character. They were not clean cut, and were perhaps even a bit too racy for today's definition of "kid-friendly". Perhaps the Mobile Muppet Lab (which I thought was great) is a good sign, but recent Muppet incarnations have strayed more and more into that realm of overly-kid-oriented and I worry that's it's gone so far that Disney isn't willing to risk the "How dare you have something aimed at children allude to sex or violence!"

Perhaps I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm not holding my breath.
