The Muppet Movie Rare Extended VHS (1979)

with Jim Henson's Muppets

98 min version, released on UK VHS at one point. I believe this was also released in theaters at one point, and then pulled in favor of the shorter version.

This is not my edit/restoration.

More of Fozzie’s unsuccessful comedy onstage when he and Kermit meet.

Longer commercial for Doc Hopper’s Frog Legs as he and Kermit meet.

Fozzie hands Dr. Teeth the script and he reads it and recaps the entire movie at length.

Longer chase scene as Doc Hopper follows the “rainbow colored Studebaker.”

Longer version of the Rowlf/Kermit duet, “I Hope That Something Better Comes Along"

Longer version of the giant Animal scaring Doc Hopper et al away.

At the end, before Kermit sings “Life’s like a movie …” there’s a longer sequence of explosions going off to blow the roof open.

The Muppets all talk over the credits, talking to each other in the theater. Fozzie and Miss Piggy want desperately to be told that they were good in the movie. Kermit is nice and tells everyone they were great. He tells Lew Zealand he can be in “the next one.” Janice and Floyd snuggle up - Janice runs from Animal - “Woman!” Rowlf tries to converse with Beaker. “Yeah, whatever.”

This is the version that I saw in an American theater in 1979. My parents were trying to drag me out as the credits rolled, but I insisted on staying to hear the dialogue (good thing too, since I didn't hear it again for over 40 years!). The story and length weren't significantly altered, so I'm baffled as to why they felt the need to snip out a few moments and blast music over the final scene.

Thank you so much for sharing!
