I bought it, and I watched the interview, it was good, not great, just good. You see for the first half of the interview, he talks about how he got his start with puppetry and with Jim, which is nice to hear, but I've heared it all too many times. He finally gets into the movie, about halfway through, and talks about some the conditions with shooting the film, and what it was like watching it in the theater. That was cool to hear, but I wish the interview was a little longer, about the film. I really wanted to hear some more behind the scenes stuff, such as stuff about the experience with the cast and crew, the director, etc. Oh well, at least Warner Bros. did a better job releasing this, than they did back in 2002, with the first DVD. So all in all, this is a good DVD, but I wish they put just a little bit more into it.

on a positive note, though, the new digital transfer of the film looks terrific.

I went to my local KMart and my local Best Buy, neither store had it. I had to order it off Amazon before. I'm still pretty excited though.

I got mine at Target, they had quite a few. I got it for $14.99, not a bad price.

Here is my question. Is it really worth buying for 14.99$ if the bonus featuers are not so hot?

Widescreen = no orphaned Muppets cropped out of the shot (says Jamie who is home sick today).
