*THE MUPPET MOVIE 50th Anniversary Special Edition
Jim Henson's MUPPETS make their film debut in this charming story that
chronicles their rise to fame. It all begins with Kermit the Frog sitting in a
swamp singing and strumming a guitar. Realising he can use his talent to 'make
people happy', Kermit decides to head for Hollywood. During his trip, Kermit
meets fellow Muppets Fozzie the Bear, the Great Gonzo, Miss Piggy, and an odd
assortment of others who join Kermit on his song-filled journey. But before
Kermit and friends achieve their dreams of stardom, Kermit must confront the man
who's been trying to catch him since he left the swamp--a man who sees Kermit as
a potential meal ticket. THE MUPPET MOVIE is a lovingly made, touching story for
kids of all ages as only Jim Henson could make it. The film includes clever,
very funny cameo appearances by Milton Berle, Mel Brooks, Bob Hope, Cloris
Leachman, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Telly Savalas, and Orson Welles.

*KERMIT'S SWAMP YEARS
Kermit's Swamp Years is the full-length version of a one-off American cable
television feature that sets out to show us the formative years of the future
host of The Muppet Show. Its focus is a childhood adventure involving Kermit and
his two best friends: a somewhat delinquent frog called Croaker, and a tremulous
toad named Goggles.

*THE VERY BEST OF THE MUPPET SHOW
The initial 50-minute feature has all the best bits from
this inspirational, celebrational 1970s show including Kermit's sensitive
rendering of "It's Not Easy Being Green" and Miss Piggy's less sensitive take on
Wonder Woman. In addition to the main compilation, the DVD contains two further
classic episodes, one starring a game Elton John and the other featuring Mark
Hamill and select members of the Star Wars crew. By far the best of the other
extras is Of Muppets and Men, a behind the scenes look at the making of The
Muppet Show, narrated by Jim Henson--it's a revelation to put the faces of Frank
Oz et al to the voices of Miss Piggy and her companions. On this DVD: Very Best
