Celebrate The Nearly 35th Anniversary of the ultimate frogs-to-riches story with the one that started it all -- The Muppet Movie. Laugh along with the mostly-true story of the Muppets got their start, now for the first time ever in vibrant Blu-ray hi-def picture and sound.
From the very first 'plunk!' of Kermit's banjo playing 'The Rainbow Connection' (Oscar nominee, Best Original Song, 1979), to the hysterical road trip that brings our fearless frog together with Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, and most importantly of all, Miss Piggy, join the jam-packed heartwarming hilarity, outrageous antics and big-shot Hollywood cameos. It's bursting with hilarious bonus extras including an all-new Frog-e-Oke sing-along with your favorite Muppet songs.
As Kermit and the gang sing -- 'Life's like a movie!' Make The Muppet Movie part of your family, and have the time of your life as the Muppets share laughter and fun with 'the Lovers, the Dreamers...and You.'
So there you have it! I know I'm thrilled to get the high-definition copy of The Muppet Movie in a few months--despite the fairly terrible cover art.
