DVDDizzy reports that the Blu-ray (which included a digital copy, but no regular DVD) will be released on August 13. Cover Art:

Huh. The cover looks like a weird combo of the original film poster and this horrendous French DVD cover. Still, I am glad so many Muppets made it on the cover (though I'm perplexed as to why Statler and Waldorf are there).

I'm a little worried about the seemingly soon release date and the lack of a DVD re-issue. For some reason, it makes me suspect that there may be "No New Bonus Features" (Oh Nose!!! )

WOW!!!!!

I know these are old stock photos but they've made it work, i wasn't expecting this much effort to be put into it. I love it althought take out and replace them with

We've known about this blu-ray release since last year, we only now know about the official release date. They've surely been planning for awhile.

I wouldn't want that on the Blu-ray. There's nothing special about it. It's just a shortened version of the movie.

As I mentioned, it includes alternate audio tracks and a deleted scene. Is it entirely "special", no. Is there something special about it, I'd say yes. Does that mean it deserves to be on the Blu-ray? Not necessarily.

Interesting. So I'm guessing this Super 8 edition was a then-current equivalent of a home video release?

Exactly!

No! I refuse to see those stock photo puppets to be over useed on every new piece of merchandise!They have plenty of great brand new ones which they refusse to use.

Ugh. Why does all recent Muppet stuff always have to look so Photoshop-y and cheap? This is better than a lot of it, but Kermit looks really screwy with those hands stuck on there. Oh well. At least the film inside is well worth watching!

Why can't they either use new photo stocks or just take a photo cover with puppet posers ugh
