For a limited time, a free Muppet watch was offered with each The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper video. In the mid-1990s, Henson video titles were promoted alongside other Walt Disney/Buena Vista releases in holiday-themed "video shop" trade advertisements.

U.K. Promotions[]

In the United Kingdom, Disney Videos advertised other Jim Henson/Disney video releases on the back of the video sleeves. In some of the Muppet videos, a flyer was included to promote a free Muppet Music Sampler audio cassette. For a time, Disney's U.K. home video unit also released a line of Sesame Street videos, separate from the Henson brand.
