Muppet Treasure Island & The Great Muppet Caper: Of Pirates & Pigs Collection Blu-ray

[zackisthewalrus]

Huh, wasn't expecting a two movie collection, but I'll take it!

[IndyMLVC]

That's a REALLY weird combo.

[wormraper]

don't care if it's a two pack. those b!tches are MINE!!!!!!

[Cahleb]

I'm bothered that Muppet Caper isn't on the left side.

and the muppets will all be officially on blu-ray now.

Yeah, that is a bit strange.
True, at least all the theatrical films. We still haven't seen It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002) and The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2005), but then again... who cares?

[Cahleb]

I just noticed they dropped the "includes". It looks SOOO much better. Hope Disney sticks to it

[Frightener22]

More Muppets? Always a good thing!

[captveg]

Not a big fan of Treasure Island, but totally worth it for Caper.

[joltman]

While I'm not complaining, I'm surprised they didn't wait for the new movie to come out in theaters or Blu-ray to release this and The Muppet Movie.

[Brother_Dobby]

No way! I'm literally watching these two films today! Haha!
In Miss Piggys words... "What an unbelievable coincidence!"
Guess Im gonna sell my DVD set now then as these are the only two remaining Muppet films I care about, well, Caper anyway, dont care so much about Treasure Island, but if its a 2 Movie Collection, Ill take it! Consider this pre-ordered when it goes on DVDWorldUSA! Looking forward to this.

Not a big fan of Treasure Island either, wish we had stand alone disks, but.....at least I'll have Muppet Caper...FINALLY!

[Frightener22]

Reassessing this announcement, I definitely share the disappointment with others that Disney decided to go the double feature route with these especially since "The Great Muppet Caper" (along with "The Muppets Take Manhattan") is arguably one of the stronger sequels. I was all but convinced that we'd be seeing a solo release of "Caper" to coincide with the theatrical release of "Muppets Most Wanted" and saving a solo release of "Muppet Treasure Island" for a mid-late Summer release to possibly coincide with the latest film's home video release. It simply just wasn't meant to be but it would definitely be better if "The Great Muppet Caper" was billed first considering it came before "Muppet Treasure Island" but I doubt that will be happening. Overall, still thrilled we're getting these on Blu-ray

[ChuckT43]

I have been wanting Treasure Island. Now if ever we can see a Muppet Family Christmas. Probably no time soon though.

[rexcrk]

Ok, while I'm thrilled to get these on Blu-ray (just the other day I was thinking how we only needed two more movies to have all the theatrical Muppet movies on Blu-ray) I just need to say how awful that cover is x__x I mean... I'm not buying it for the cover obviously but.. ugh. Both of these movies are great enough to warrant their own individual releases IMO.

Also I have no idea where on the shelf I'm going to put it lol. I keep my Muppet movies in release date order, so the question will be whether I put this in between The Muppet Movie and The Muppets Take Manhattan or in between Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppets From Space.

But on the positive side it will only take up the space of one case instead of two (shelf space is becoming increasingly important to me haha) and at least we sky have to wait very long for these. Now we just need The Muppet Show seasons 4 and 5... and I'd also like to see a widescreen release of Wizard of Oz. oh and I'd like to see Muppets Tonight, too haha

From this double-bill, I get the impression Disney just wants to be done with this, like 'Here, fans want both movies on bluray, just slap em together on one disk and hand it over."

I hope they treat the transfers right. Oh and yeah...."Caper" really SHOULD be on the left side.

But.....we rejoice to be getting them.

[Talzin78]

Happy, and disappointed, excited and frustrated....damn you Disney.
Happy that I'll have Caper on Blu, disappointed it's a two pack with Treasure Island, an alright movie but a differnt part of Muppet Cinema, like Christmas Carol. Excited that the theatricals will all be out now, and frustrated Treasure Island got Left Side billing Grrrr. Oh well.

[RipleyLV426]

Woohoo! I'm so thrilled that my childhood Muppet collection will now be completed come Dec.! Thank you Disney

Pretty much all of this.

I don't get it. I'm not a fan of it. But if I get decent transfers of them, I suppose I won't complain.



From a marketing standpoint, this doesn't make much sense. They've waited this long to release them, but they're not going to tie Muppets Treasure Island to a Pirates of the Carribean release? Or tie Great Muppet Caper to the similarly-themed theatrical film in 2014?

Why wait this long to just slap them on a disc?

[goeagles5039]

These releases normally come in 3's. Muppets, Mary Poppins, ?...
