Description:
Stop the presses! The crime of the century has occurred, and investigative reporters Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo are out to crack the case in this song-filled, star-studded extravaganza directed by the legendary Jim Henson. Our heroes arrive in London to interview Lady Holiday (Diana Rigg), a high-fashion designer whose priceless diamond necklace has just been stolen. But when Kermit mistakes lovely receptionist/would-be model Miss Piggy for her aristocratic employer, it's love at first sight. Unfortunately, Lady Holiday's scheming brother (Charles Grodin) is also wooing the sultry swine -- so he can frame her for another brazen jewel heist! Now it's up to Kermit and his Muppet pals to clear Piggy's name and catch the real culprits. Packed with music, remarkable production numbers, and hilarious cameo performances (including John Cleese, Peter Falk, Jack Warden, Robert Morley, and Peter Ustinov), this restored and remastered 50th Anniversary Edition of THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER is the wackiest story ever told! ~~(c) The Muppets Holding Company, LLC and BVHE.

Amazon.com:
This second motion-picture outing for the adventurous Muppets finds them in London hunting down jewel thieves while staying at the city's most cheerfully derelict dive, the Happiness Hotel. Filled with song and dance (and swimming!) numbers, this Jim Henson-directed feature is worth seeing, if for nothing else than to see the cantankerous Charles Grodin (Beethoven) swoon over Miss Piggy. But The Great Muppet Caper has a lot more going for it: cameos by John Cleese, Peter Falk, and Oscar the Grouch, among others; Miss Piggy parading down a catwalk; and Kermit the Frog on a bicycle. The Muppets are fond of breaking down that pesky fourth wall, which gives the movie some of its cleverest moments and will elicit the biggest laughs from the kids. (Kermit to Miss Piggy: 'You're overacting. You're hamming it up.') By the time a framed Miss Piggy is freed and the real jewel thieves are caught, you'll forget the occasional slow spots and remember the musical numbers and the banter. --Kimberly Heinrichs



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The Muppet Movie is a 5, this stinker is a 3
If the Muppet Movie receives five stars, there is no way The Great Muppet Caper deserves more then three. It's still worth watching, but can't hold a candle to the Muppet Movie



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun for every age group.
This movie was a classic for me when i was a kid and now that I'm older, I still have as much fun watching it. I recently purchased this dvd for my girlfriend and she loves it. The dvd is very good quality, and didn't take long to ship. I recommend this to any Muppet lover. Absolutely one to add to the dvd library and/or makes for a great gift.The Muppets Take Manhattan The Muppet Movie - Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Typical Muppets
I love this what may now be classified as a classic. My children loved it when they were young and now my grandchildren experience the same enjoyment.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Movie for a Great Price!!
I am a major Muppet fan. This is the one movie that I did not have in my collection. The movie was great and the price was awesome.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Great Muppet Caper
I WATCHED THIS MANY TIMES. I FINALLY GOT THE DVD OF THE SAME SHOW. IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION. NOW I SAW SOME MUPPETS AT FEW TIMES. THE MUPPET SHOWS ARE VERY GOOD FOR ALL OF AGES. KERMIT THE FROG IS MY BELOVED ONE. I AM CAREFUL ABOUT MISS PIGGY. I AM KIDDING.
