Anyone know who owns the rights to "The Great Muppet Caper" movie? There is a cinema in Leicester UK that will show any movie you want (for a fee) and they will screen this movie (I have it on DVD and they can screen DVD's) but obviously they need to pay a royalty to whoever owns the movie...

It is to be hoped that these products are offered for sale in the UK or on a website that can cope with overseas shipment. We shouldn't get too carried away until we know this for sure.

But watching a film on video is NOTHING like seeing it at the cinema. That's like saying watching a football match on television is like being at the game or that looking at a postcard of the Golden Gate Bridge is like being in San Francisco. The cinema couldn't get Great Muppet Caper - which...

The Muppets Take Manhattan will be showing at the Phoenix cinema in Leicester (U.K.). 3.00 pm on Sunday 23rd February. A rare opportunity to see a Muppet classic on the big screen. If anyone from this board goes then come and say "hi" to me. I'll be the harrassed looking 40 year old in the...

OK, so we all boycott the DVD versions of stuff already released on video. That way they will have to release new stuff. Thinks, it is 6.15pm and I am still at work with a pile of stuff on my desk still to do before I go home. Perhaps I should uncheck the "email notification" box this time.

Thanks for the reply Luke. A pity that the extras are things that we Muppet fans already have on video. Why couldn't they include episodes not in the recent box sets / Time Life. Thinks "perhaps this is because they are going to release more box sets of whole episodes soon?". I will keep that...

Is this DVD exactly the same as the "Best of" videos from a few years back? Are there any sketches not on this or the box set videos?

Yes it bl**dy is. The Vicar of Dibley had a classic scene concerning this question (is bl**dy a swear word). It cost Owen a £1 a time. Very mild swear word though. Strange that the use of this word should be an issue for a film that features skeletons hung from trees, talking skulls...

And what a surprise, NBC doesn't ship internationally. Why do the vast majority of US companies refuse to ship internationally? No wonder the World economy is in such a bad shape when the bastion of the capitalist system refuses to sell people its product.

Some McDonalds still stock Kermit and Chef (or "the frog thing and the white one" as the young lady who has just served me at the Hinckley branch so charmingly described them).

Chris Langham wasn't (still isn't) particularly famous in the UK. He was a writer on the Muppet Show and only appeared as a guest star because the scheduled performer pulled out at the last moment. I remember hearing this story on a TV show recently (could have been "I Love the Muppets"). Can't...

Yes, it is a great relief that you can buy the toys without having to buy an "Unhappy Meal". I think the staff would have been offended if I had bought a meal and then tipped it straight in the bin.

I desperately need a CD / Cassette of "The Muppets Take Manhattan" soundtrack. Has anyone got one to sell / trade / know where I can get one? (The - long - explanation of why I need this so badly follows) My eldest son, Jimmy, is autistic and for his 7th birthday party in February, I have...

Where? And these shirts can be bought where?

Aids in Africa is the greatest tragedy in the World today. The scale of the problem is enormous and the plight of Africa has been largely overlooked by the Western World. Thank you Sesame Street for raising the awareness of adults in the West to this issue. Perhaps some US politicians now know...
