Looks like they found the footage of "When Love is Gone" :search: and are adding it back to the movie. In the audio clip, it also sounds like they've done a 4K scan of The Muppet Movie.:eek:

Woo-hoo!! This is FANTASTIC news. I've always loved the song, and I was bummed that I could never see it in widescreen form. But that day is finally coming! :smile:

It sounds like Brian isn't sure when the 4K transfer will be complete, so we might not get it until next Christmas, but he did specifically cite Disney+ as an outlet for it. As a happy subscriber of the service, that's just what I wanted to hear!

I'm fairly certain it's on the DVD if you select the full screen/4:3 version of the movie, since it was included on the VHS release.

I mean, if you really wanted to go the extra mile, you could probably just edit that **** in premiere or final cut. 🤷🏿‍♂️

That's really great news! We now have an "extended" cut of The Muppet Christmas Carol, for a new generation!
