Disney has revealed plans to bring the original 1979 The Muppets Movie to Blu-ray for the first time on August 13 in celebration of the film’s 35th anniversary. If you do the math the anniversary is next year, so the release date is coming a little early, thus the Blu-ray label “The Nearly 35th Anniversary Edition.”
This new Blu-ray release comes with a digital copy but will not include the DVD version as well. It will include a glitzy new cover featuring Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of The Muppets gang.
I don’t have any bonus features to share just yet except for the inclusion of an all-new ‘Frog-E-Oke Sing-Along,’ but hope to in the near future. Check out the Blu-ray cover art and freshly released trailer below.
