The Muppets are coming to DVD and Blu-Ray March 20th.  Here are some of the specs:

Pack for the ultimate Muppets experience as Disney’s The Muppets debuts March 20th on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand formats.

Starring Jason Segel, Academy Award-nominee Amy Adams, and favorite celebrity couple Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, Disney’s “The Muppets” in-home release includes the DVD and music soundtrack packaged together and also offered as the ultimate Muppets experience, a ‘Wocka-Wocka Value Pack,’ which contains the movie on Blu-ray high definition, DVD and Digital Copy (three discs), plus a download card which allows fans to own all the songs from the film’s hugely popular soundtrack.

The Blu-ray Combo Pack comes with a fantastic slate of bonus content including the laugh out loud “The Longest Blooper Reel Ever Made (In Muppet History––We Think).”  The exciting release also includes the hilarious featurette “A Little Screen Test on the Way to the Read Through,” which follows Jason Segel, Kermit, The Great Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and others asthey get ready for the first day of production, and much more fun.

In a press release, Kermit the Frog stated: “Blu-ray is a great way to bring the Muppets into your home without having to worry about cleaning up after us. And the behind-the-scenes extras are a revealing tell-all look at what it took to bring our movie to the big screen. It’s a must-see for fans of bloopers, flubs and slip-ups – which pretty much describes our act.”

Additional fun-filled features on Disney’s “The Muppets” Blu-ray include a groundbreaking industry first — ‘Disney Intermission,’ a hilarious all-new feature that allows viewers to press Pause on their remote control and watch as the Muppets take over the screen and entertain until the movie resumes playing.

The release also includes “Explaining Evil: The Full Tex Richman Song,”  an extended version of the rollicking rap song by villain Tex Richman (Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper)  who provides the hilarious backstory of why he hates the Muppets.

Audio commentaries with screenwriter and star Jason Segel, director James Bobin and screenwriter Nicholas Stoller are also included. With the Muppet’s signature irreverent comedy, songs and dancing, Muppet fans of all ages will cheer as the gang reunites to put on a benefit show to save the crumbling Muppet Studios from being razed by nefarious oil baron Tex Richman. New fans and long-time devotees will find the rainbow connection when they bring Disney’s “The Muppets” into their very own homes.

More Muppets goodies today! Disney has released another parody trailer for The Muppets – this one poking some fun at the intense and moody first trailer for Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. This new trailer flashes through scenes rather quickly and Amy is featured only briefly but there are a couple new shots. Screencaptures have been added to the gallery and you can view the trailer after the cut.

It’s been a pretty slow summer for Amy news and photos. Hopefully, that will pick up as she finishes up filming Man of Steel and the real promotion for The Muppets begins. I do have a fun treat for you all today though – two brand new high quality stills from The Muppets have been added to the gallery.

We’re still four months away from the release of Amy’s new movie The Muppets but some promotion for it is happening. Two new posters were released today and I’ve added HQ versions of both to the gallery.

I’m not sure if they needed to reshoot some scenes or just weren’t quite done yet but apparently, Amy was spotted (and photographed) last night filming a scene from The Muppets in Hollywood. The photos are small and not very clear so I won’t be posting them to the gallery. You can view them at their source here.

In its inaugural year, this exciting film extravaganza, which hopes to become the Glastonbury of film, will be opened by Indiana Jones and James Bond and closed by Dr Who; or at least the actors who play them! Jon Favreau’s blending of science fiction and the old West Cowboys & Aliens will kick start the event with stars Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford to attend for the world premiere, while the remake of classic 80’s horror Fright Night 3D, starring Colin Farrell and David Tennant, has been picked as the movie to close the event.

And these are just a few of the stars to attend the 3 day event taking place on the weekend of the 12th of August at the O2, which is quickly becoming as synonymous with film as it is with music, having hosted last year’s Chronicles of Narnia and more recently the Justin Bieber Never Say Never documentary premieres.

And while stars Amy Adams and Jason Segel are not confirmed, Kermit, Piggy and all the Muppet stars of their latest outing due out this summer, have all signed on the dotted line and were quoted as being “very excited about visiting the O2 for the first time” to promote The Muppets!

According to a recent Variety article, it looks like we won’t be seeing Amy at this year’s SDCC after all.

Disney is holding off on tubthumping “The Avengers” “The Muppet” movie and its toons. The Mouse House wants to hold on to its goods until the company hosts its own Comic-Con-like event, D23 Expo, to be held August 19-21 at the Anaheim Convention Center. There Rich Ross will unveil the studio’s slate.

Here’s hoping that Disney will make a big Muppets presentation at this D23 Expo and Amy will be in attendance.

Our first peeks at The Muppets in high quality have arrived! I’ve added three HQ stills to our gallery and don’t forget to check out the new MQ still I posted much earlier today as well.

It’s a bit on the small side but we now have the first official still of Amy from The Muppets in our gallery. I’m sure more (and hopefully better quality) will be released soon so keep checking back!
