I loved how much they incorporated «The Muppet Show» and some of the other movies into the writing.

The themes that Jim Henson's electric Kool - Aid acid trip tackles through its tacky sketches, instantly - dated guest stars, and cobwebbed musical interludes run the gamut from loneliness (a disturbing rendition of Jim Croce's «Time in a Bottle» in which a Muppet mutilates and pickles himself) to war (a version of Buffalo Springfield's «For What It's Worth» sung by forest animals being terrorized by mad redneck hunters) to exotic burlesques that predict the melancholia lacing The Dark Crystal and the eternally underestimated The Muppet Movie.

This week's new Blu - ray releases include a wonderfully compelling drama told entirely from the confines of a car, a quartet of older animated Disney films getting an HD upgrade, a new Muppet movie, and more.

If you're still craving more previews, head to the second page of Sneak Peeks from the main menu and check out the spots for the Old Yeller double feature, the Toy Story 2 Special Edition, next month's Muppet movie DVDs, Kronk's New Groove, and «Power Rangers: S.P.D.» The disc also notably debuts a new «Disney DVD» introduction, modifying Tinker Bell's sequence that has launched Disney DVDs for a while now.
