Synopsis

Quote: On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary’s girlfriend, Mary (Amy Adams), from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze Muppet Studios and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage a telethon and raise the $10 million needed to save the studio, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have allgone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.

Wocka Wocka edition for me!

It was cute, but I don't think I'd watch it more than once.

They should've made the front cover all fuzzy like a muppet just like what they did with The Muppet Show season sets.

I loved loved loved this. Will be getting the combo pack.

True enough. Although because it's Disney, I'm sure there will be a $10 coupon for the first week. I just hope that they don't do what they usually do and release a DVD/Blu combo in both a DVD box and Blu-ray box. You'd be surprised how long people stare at the two and try and figure it out.

I'm just wondering when the heck we're going to get Muppet Treasure Island on Blu-ray.

I wanted to see this film so badly, but I never had the chance! I heard it was really enjoyable and the music was oscar worthy. The trailers and TV spots made me laugh more than most comedy movies. I'll definitely check this out. LOVE the blu-ray cover. Reminds me of the Toy Story 3 cover.

That it is. It doesn't try to parody or rework the formula in anyway, which surprised me, since Segel handled the screenplay. You could tell he's a big fan of "The Muppets," and doesn't try to put his usual schtick on the characters.

Love the Blu-Ray cover art, but the DVD seems lazy to me.

The Muppets Take Manhattan and Muppets from Space are already out

I'd like to hear about the other Muppet movies going to Blu-ray as well.

I loved this film.

Alright, since it has yet to be said, I guess I will be the one to say it...

There is a problem with this cover. A major Muppet is obscured and it will now have me saying the following phrase: "Amy Adams has Gonzo Arms growing out of her head!"

Gonzo is actually the only ORIGINAL Muppet Show Muppet in the film that is actually performed by his ORIGINAL Muppeteer, Dave Goelz. Shame that Disney didn't recognize this when it went to PhotoShop...

I actually enjoyed this quite a lot and was glad that it was distributed by Disney. The Toy Story short film was awesome. Don't know if I will see this film again.

WTF is up with the Green Lantern Kermit promo image?

KMA

I missed out on this but I'm definitely getting myself a copy of the movie.

Johnny

I already have the soundtrack but might get the combo pack anyways if it's not too much more expensive in order to get the digital download.

hogaburger

the Man or Muppet song with Walter and Jason Segel is SO good

djblack1313

this looked like it was a great movie! i keep seeing promo stuff with Miss Piggy on the Disney Channel and it makes me laugh EVERY time! Miss Piggy rules! i like that (from what i've seen) this is a genuinely funny movie in places. i can't wait to check this out!

I pre-ordered the Wocka Wocka combo pack too on amazon, did it last night because I saw that they had a 5 dollar off pre-order deal that was expiring yesterday. Apparently the soundtrack comes in the form of a download card and not an actual disc though.

Edwise

I pre-ordered it through Amazon a few days ago. Getting the "Wocka Wocka" Blu-ray/DVD/soundtrack combo.

chrisman25

I don't know why (I'm not a big fan of being in the majority all the time) but yeah this was (in my opinion) SUCH A GREAT FILM!!! It's so faithful to the old show and the first couple Muppet movies! I loved it and Jason Segel did these little guys justice!

jp orestes

Now there is what I like to see, a soundtrack included! I've always thought that adding that would be one of my favourite 'bonus features'.

matt86

Awesome cover arts, I really didn't like this tho. I know I'm in the minority here but nothing happened, it just kinda sat there.

Phil92

Blind buy for me. Heard it's very faithful to the classic Muppets of the 70's.
