There are a couple, however, that would've added another glorious layer to the movie. There are nine scenes presented here, most of which were understandably removed from the final film. This is one of few deleted/extended scenes that I wish would've stayed in the movie, if only to explain more of Richman's motivations and inability to laugh. and it really isn't that much longer than what's in the movie. It explains his hatred for them so much better. Maybe on the five year anniversary Blu-ray?Įxplaining Evil: The Full Tex Richman Song is the extended, subtitle free, much improved version of Tex Richman's rap "Let's Talk About Me." It features the entire song, which can be heard on the soundtrack, and shows a flashback to Tex's 10th birthday party where he was ridiculed for not being able to laugh at the Muppets. What is here is funny, but knowing that footage of the actual read through for the movie exists with Muppeteers and Muppets reading their parts and not having it here is sort of heart breaking. and then we never see the read through! As soon as they're all gathered around the table to read, it ends. It follows Jason Segel, Walter, Kermit, Scooter, Fozzie, Rowlf, Gonzo, and Rizzo as they do a camera test before the script read through. It's a very odd little feature which could have been so much more. The next feature on the Blu-ray is A Little Screen Test on the way to the Read Through. And yes, I believe it really is the longest blooper reel in Muppet history. It's so wonderful how much the Muppeteers say in character. Uncle Deadly, Walter, Rowlf, 80s Robot, Scooter, and Bill Barretta all shine brilliantly in the bloopers. There are so many magnificent flub-ups and goofs and a chicken joke that is so long and hilarious and groan-worthy that. The Longest Blooper Reel Ever Made (In Muppet History––We Think) is one of the best things about this Blu-ray. I don't expect to see him past the features here though. He's a green Frackle and I'm not sure who he's performed by. It's loosely hosted by unit production monster named J.G. I've watched it multiple times and I still adore it. There are some incredibly hilarious bits in this, including Walter listing Jason Segel's roles on the film, Droop (yes, DROOP) making a joke, and Uncle Deadly being awesome, plus a whole lot more. My favorite bonus feature on the release is Scratching The Surface: A Hasty Examination of the Making of Disney's "The Muppets." This behind the scenes making of featurette offers a look at many aspects of the movie. It really is a lot of fun and gives you something to do if you need to pause the movie for whatever reason. Statler and Waldorf provide off-screen commentary, Kermit guides you through what's going on, and they host random dance parties and show off some tricks. When you pause the movie, the intermission begins and the Muppets take over the screen. The main bonus feature, which you're sure to notice anytime you pause the movie, is Disney Intermission. It's a lot of fun to watch-and even Thog is there! I could enjoy only the menu for quite a long time (I'd be lying if I said I haven't). It features the Muppets sitting in theater seats waiting for the movie to start. I love, love the bonus features, even the main menu for the disc is awesome. I really can't praise the picture and sound quality highly enough.īut what you probably care about is the bonus features. The sound on the movie is so wonderful and immerse that I found myself hearing things that I missed in eight viewings of the movie in theaters. The picture is only half the high definition amazement. You can see each of Gonzo's feathers, the beautiful details of Kermit, the rich colors of Animal, and you can spot some of the more well-hidden Muppets in the numerous crowd scenes. The picture is crisp, defined, and beautiful. First and foremost I have to praise the unbelievably gorgeous high definition transfer of the movie on the Blu-ray. I really can't thank them enough and I'm thrilled to be giving you a review of it right now. I was lucky enough to receive an early copy of the "Wocka Wocka Value Pack" from the fine folks at Walt Disney Home Entertainment.
