Disney knows a Special Edition of the big Muppet movies will almost certainly be a success for them, assuming they promote it... I even think a 2-Discer is possible. A box set, though? Seems like that would hurt sales rather than boost them. I think they'll release two or three each year, perhaps chronologically, starting in '06 maybe? Then perhaps a box set will come after they've all been released.

Hi! Yes a box set of all the muppets movies would be nice and even one or two released a year would be great, as Disney has done with the Studio Ghilbi and Hayao Myazaki films, of late, with only a few films left to be released. I'm guessing that Disney is planning to do so, as Muppets are popular, there is lots of money to be made and the new Muppets movie is to be aired on TV soon. I think that depending on the ratings and possibly the rumoured DVD release sales, the Muppets will be released onto DVD soon. So, to help it along, I urge everyone to watch the movie on ABC when it airs- I think May 20- and when the press release for the DVD is issued by Disney, immediately preorder it from Amazon.com.

The news of new muppet releases from Disney, The Muppet Show-Season 1 and The Muppet's Wizard Of Oz, has had an effect on everyone hoping of new releases, as those people are now rejoicing over the releases, and the possibility of more releases are closer than ever. I now urge every Muppets fan to preorder it (if accessible) and if it isn't yet up for preorder, get ready to, for the success of these releases will have an effect on more DVDs, and if they don't sell well, Disney won't release more of them, as they only care about money, nowadays.
PREORDER THE MUPPETS NOW!

What I meant was that if the next two releases of the Muppets are successful, then Disney might re-release all of the other movies, in possibly special edition or 2-disc sets.
