Review of
Muppet Robin Hood,
by Ross Richie et. al. ISBN 9781934506790
Five out of five stars
Entertaining retelling of the Robin Hood story
In this graphic
novel, the Muppet characters assume the roles of the characters of the Robin
Hood story and tell it in their own way. The overall plot is similar to that of
the original story, but of course given that they are the Muppets, there is a
great deal of poetic license taken.
Kermit is of
course Robin Hood and Miss Piggy is Maid Marion. The dialog is truly that of
the Muppet characters, especially the attitude of Miss Piggy, yet the sense of
the story is generally preserved. It is a fun and entertaining rendition of a classic
story, one that children will love to read, further preserving the legend of
the noble robber that takes from the rich and gives to the poor.
