Re: New editions of 4 Muppet movies coming soon! Widescreen confirmed.

Would like to see A Muppet Family Christmas re-released. It's a 1987 Christmas special (far better than what aired on TV this year - nice high def work though). It was on DVD about 8 years ago but is long OOP and fetches very high prices. Of course, it was heavily edited on DVD too, so an uncut version would be nice.

Apparently the song was deemed too slow for pacing for the theatrical release and cut and was never available in 1.85 ratio though this wouldn't seem to be a difficult thing to fix.

As I mentioned in a previous post, "When Love Is Gone" was indeed available on a widescreen laserdisc release of the film.
