Also worth noting is Channel 4's countdown to the '100 Greatest Kids Movies' - I distinctly remember voting for 'The Muppet Movie.' Hopefully, it does well on the list.

Did anyone (in the UK) record it onto a DVD? my DVD recorder didn't record the film :mad:

I have lots of stuff to offer in return including DVD/Digital recording of "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz" (I think it may be in widescreen).

Thanks:smile:

If you want IAVMMCM in widescreen you could just buy the Columbia TriStar UK DVD? That was in widescreen right? I bought the US version but still have the UK one on my wants list just to get it in widescreen.

1.78:1 is widescreen - it's the same ratio as the widescreen version of Kermit's Swamp Years.
