Original Movie Posters for DVD Covers

[Hat Sharpener]

So, I was thinking about the rather unpleasant covers on my 3 "classic" Muppet movie DVD's, and it occurred to me that I could replace them by simply printing out images of the original posters and slipping them under the plastic sheet...

That leaves one problem - finding hi-res scans of the original posters.

I remember back in the early days of the Muppet internet when folks never posted photographs of muppets to avoid infringing on Henson copyrights. However, such dark ages have past and we now have glorious full-color sites like Muppet Central with those beautiful flash banners and everything...

My point is, there must be someone out there with hi-res scans of the original 3 movies! Anyone out there care to share?

Try www.dvdcoverart.com. I think that's the site where you can download "alternate" artwork.

Wow, that is great! The MTM one is somewhat over compressed, and there's none for GMC, but it is still an interesting resource - I got some replacements for my Back to the Future and Star Wars prequels covers too...

Thanks!

muppet movie dvd cover

Hi, if your interested i created a new cover for the Muppet Movie DVD using the original poster. I too was sick of looking at the terrible original cover. I will post it up so you can view it. And if you need a higher resolution you can email me.

Here's the website:

That's a neat and good idea. I may have to try that as well.. I didn't think of it until now though.

Could you redo those sites again. There all down and I didn't ever get to see them. Please?
