I think you are giving it too much credit. For me it was only a
muppet movie (a decent muppet movie) with some curious plot lines.
The target audience is kids; no specific philosophy is peddled;
the good prevails; a bit of zen stuff (if there was any) makes it
somewhat more memorable.
It has that absolute minimum of moral controversy that is present
in SW (father-son stuff) and other fantasy films.
