Ultimate Muppet Family Christmas Question

[Mongoose]

Hi once again everyone. So, sitting here at work I've been pondering about my favorite Muppet release: A Muppet Family Christmas. Of course, I am in the same boat as most everyone in that I wish I had a copy without the various edits that had to be produced. I was thinking, since according to the muppet wiki page on MFC...

"Because the US song rights are different than for other countries, the PAL video release available in Europe does not contain the music edits the NTSC videos suffer."

do you think that the PAL dvd that floats around on ebay.eu would be a full copy? I luckily have a region free dvd player, so playing it would not be a problem.

Thanks for reading!

Hopefully I can figure this out

The UK dvd release is as complete as you can get it. All the songs are in it, but it's still missing the so called stocking scene.

Hey dk, thanks for the response. I went ahead and jumped the gun anyway and purchased a copy from Ireland. Sadly the stocking scene won't be included, but hopefully everything else will be present.

What's odd is that the DVD has a cover that I've never seen before. It uses new Muppets on the cover ( )which makes me weary, but the guy states that all of his DVDs are legitimate

Well the one that i was referring to was this out of print release. Never seen the one you bought before, however I did some digging and apparently what you bought was a Dutch release from 2006, so it should be legit as you can see here

WOW, Good find!

I couldn't for the life of me find that. Thanks! Now I really can't wait for it to come in!

It is legit, it was the second version from the UK, same dvd, just different packaging.
