Super 8 release
I just came across information (and a picture) of the Super 8mm home release. Should that be included here, or elsewhere? -- Nate (talk) 22:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Cool! I didn't know they made one. I would put that here, since Super 8 home movies were what people bought for home video entertainment before the VCR came along. Disney made lots of cartoons (and clips from Disneyland) that you could buy on home movie film, but I never knew there was Muppet stuff in this format! I can't wait to see it! -- Ken (talk) 07:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- My next question would be how? I'm not sure how the templates work and how to create a new one for the super 8mm. I went ahead and uploaded the film picture though. -- Nate (talk) 15:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmmm. Well, I was going to put it in the chart, but now I see that it says "colour", which means it was made in the UK (or maybe Canada or Australia). Do you have any more information on it, like the company that made it, or the year it came out? I see that it says "ITC Limited", which also sounds British. Now I'm wondering if this was only made for the UK, because I don't remember seeing Muppet home movies, and I remember seeing tons of Disney stuff, and they would have been in the same stores back then. -- Ken (talk) 02:38, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- No. I pilfered it from Ebay. They said nothing about it being a UK release at all. __ Nate (talk) 22:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- It is a UK release. It was released by Walton Sound & Film Services Ltd. The catalogue number is A.910.

UK releases
I have two 80s UK video releases. Should we have UK releases along side the US videos or create a seperate page as with international Muppet records? Mister Superstar 23:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Either would work, in my opinion. See Muppet Treasure Island (international video), which includes all non-US releases. Or a seperate section here could be created, to park the UK info, either permanently or until someone gets around to documenting the other international releases (I have some info on the German and Italian releases, still digging on others). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 23:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Early VHS?
Does anybody have the early VHS releases of The Muppet Movie? The one pictured in the 1980 box is actually the 1984 box after CBS/Fox was created. Between 1980 and 1984, there would have been a box with Magnetic Home Video, or Twentieth Century Fox Video, or possibly even both. -- Ken (talk) 04:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
