This edit of the movie is horrible...I missed the first 40 minutes...but the scene where fozzie got green was chopped poorly...the nbc logo joke on kermits foot was cut...the reality tv joke was cut....and I get that a lot of this getting rid of the nbc bits...did they cut the scrubs bit earlier too? anyone know

Well, they probably had to cut all of the NBC references, since the movie was originally made specifically for NBC, and that isn't the case this time.

My first time watching the movie. I could tell the editing was a bit choppy, but most of the plot got through. It was pretty inconsistent in terms of quality (may have been the editing), but I liked the message and the Club Dot scene was an eye-opener. Poor Robin!

All I can say is, the movie made me appreciate The Muppets a heckuvalot more, haha. Cute, but not entirely up to snuff

Haven't seen this version of it yet; DVRed, but haven't watched. When I first saw the movie when I was 15, I never cared much for the NBC references, anyway, so I probably won't care too much about the editing.

I sure hope so! I have high hopes they could produce one with a little more timeless sparkle.

I enjoyed it, but yeah I agree with beatnikchick300, charlietheowl, D.Snowth, and DannyRWW. The Scrubs scene was cut, and the NBC references were cut. My favorite scenes? My mom and I like the part where Animal was drumming hehehe, Robin as the green fairy... awwww cute, and the Everyone matters song was great. So, I appreciate The Muppets more than 10 or even 15 years ago.
