The Muppet Movie: The Nearly 35th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray + Digital Copy)

As a kid I enjoyed this movie quite often. Out of all the Muppet movies that were made & produced this has got to be the best. I don't enjoy the other Muppet movies as much as this one.I still watch this one.Its a very funny movie from start to finish. Kermit's idea about going to Hollywood comes from someone he met in the swamp an agent (Dom Deluise) Who seems to be aware of Kermit's talent. The songs are wonderful. He begins his journey on his bicycle, Too bad about his bicycle. He soon meets Fozzie, Him & the piano player weren't doing all that good, So Fozzie realizing he wants a little more attention Joins Kermit on his Journey to Hollywood. Their only obstacle is a business man named Doc Hopper (Charles Durning) who sees him dancing just before leaving the bar. & will stop at nothing to get Kermit's attention & get him to help him with his advertisements. Kermit just zooms away. Not giving up that easily Doc Hopper tells Max to follow that frog. Kermit makes new friends along the way. Their idea for distraction on the car is interesting. You know what? I kind of like Dr Teeth, if theirs one thing he's good at its smiling! & good humor. He is one of my favorite characters out of the Muppet's. If he can't make you laugh none of them will. Gonzo is also hilarious him & his chickens. This is one exciting adventure not only for the Muppet's themselves but for us as well. This movie really does bring back a lot of memories. Its too bad its not available at my local video store. Although who needs them anyways when I can find most of the movies I'm looking for here on amazon. I've tried finding my favorite movies at the video stores or a video store in the mall, No luck. So I've decided to stick with Amazon from now on.After days of being chased Kermit finally loses Doc Hopper,I kind of liked his advice what he told Doc Hopper, (I don't think your a bad person, But I think if you look in your heart you'll find you'll really want to let me & my friends go, & follow our dream.) He almost got through to him. Doc was using almost every trick in the book to get Kermit. From there they head on to Hollywood which is how Kermit's story ended up in the theaters. & Miss Piggy I liked her too. Today now I am ready to enjoy this movie again! If your like me & you love to travel, friends you'll love this movie. That clever frog irons out every little kink.

I mean, how many people under 40 even know who Bob Hope was? Still a great flick, though.

Classic muppets with my favorite childhood song Rainbow Connection. Definitely worth $3.99 to have it on DVD. It was delivered quickly and in perfect condition. I hadn’t seen the movie since I was a kid myself, but still watchable for the new generation as lots of gags and jokes still land. Very happy with this purchase.Synopsis of the plot (SPOILERS): a talent agent hears Kermit singing Rainbow Connection, and tells Kermit he should be in movies. Kermit sets off on a cross-country road trip to Hollywood and meets the Muppets at various stops along the way. Meanwhile, restaurant owner Doc Hopper wants Kermit to be his spokesperson for his frog-leg restaurant chain, and will use any means necessary to make that happen. Kermit’s refusal “all I can think of is poor frogs on crutches” is one of my favorite darkly funny asides for adults, although it also operates as a straight line for kids. Once the group gets to Hollywood they make the movie that we have been watching all along. Singing, 1970s-movie-star-cameos, and tons of muppet humor, what’s not to like?

Great copy and movie such fun.

This movie is my childhood. Every Christmas -- or thereabouts -- it would be shown on broadcast TV (in an age where a young child like myself had no other option to watch it). And every year I would watch it, and enjoy all of the things children do about the Muppets.Now as an adult, I can report that this movie has grown with me. Now I can appreciate some of the underlying trepidation and melancholy that a child would never even notice. (How would you describe the tone of Gonzo's haunting desert song? And what do you suppose is the "voice that calls the young sailor," that possibly draws Kermit on to his own destiny? And why does the movie set fall apart in the final sequence of the film? These are not questions for a child to consider, let alone answer.)But forget all that. It's there, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is that this film is beautiful, and if you hold the beauty of childhood within your heart -- at any age -- this movie can reach you.

I absolutely adore the muppet movie. I wouldn't have bought a blu ray of it if I didn't already think it was a 5 star movie. When I saw this on sale for like 6 bucks total, I had to grab it! When it came in I was surprised to see how low quality the packaging is.The front and back covers are pretty fuzzy, and it's near impossible to read the smallest print. The blu ray logo at the top looks weirdly smudged. The worst part about it is the disc itself. I was afraid I was going to break it trying to rip it out of the case! The best way to pop the disc out is by holding the case upside down, pushing in with your middle finger, and popping the disc out with your thumb. If you hold it upright and try to get it out with your thumb the disc will not budge! I really thought it might snap in half! Looking at the packaging now I'm shocked to see this is apparently from 2018.I thought the graphics they used for the title screen were a... strange choice. No disrespect to the artist, but when I saw a preview of them on my ps4, that really pushed me into "oh my god this MUST be pirated" territory. The pause animations are all just reused assets from previous projects. The movie itself looked just fine to me. I thought it was pretty indistinguishable from how it looks on disney plus, but I don't think I'm the best eye when it comes to those things.All in all, if you just want to buy this for your kids, they'll love it! But it makes me sad that disney seems to throw the muppets scraps when this blu ray could've really been something special. I'm glad this is something I bought for such a low price, but if a nice 50th anniversary edition comes out, I'm probably shipping this thing off to the nearest thrift store.

Bought for my son as he enjoys the movie. DVD came fast and well packaged, no issues with the disc and plays well.

I keep collecting DVD like this to entertain children that stay at my apartment and ourselves of course, they are a good alternative to greek TV if you don't speak the language. They are not expensive so I purchase one or two a year sometime more and leave them at the accommodation great hit with parents to keep the kid quite.

another great Muppet DVD if your a muppet fan you will enjoy this one for sure. It arrived on time, and was well packaged.Five stars from me for sure.

I've been a near obsessive fan of The Muppets my whole life. As a new film hits the cinemas, now seems a great time to revisit their previous outstanding films.The Muppets are the perfect example of pure family entertainment and this, their first film, is nothing but magical.

I cant seem to get the kids to do anything when this DVD is on, I also get a laugh when it is on, must get some more of the Muppets videos soon.
