BURBANK, Calif., January 19, 2012 –– One of the year’s best-loved family comedies and among
the best reviewed films of 2011, Disney’s “The Muppets,” starring Jason Segel, Academy
Award®-nominee Amy Adams, and favorite celebrity couple Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy –
debuts March 20 on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand formats. A
must-own movie the entire family can enjoy, Disney’s “The Muppets” in-home release includes
the DVD and music soundtrack packaged together and also offered as the ultimate Muppets
experience, a ‘Wocka-Wocka Value Pack,’ which contains the movie on Blu-ray high definition,
DVD and Digital Copy (three discs), plus a download card which allows fans to own all the songs
from the film’s hugely popular soundtrack.

Disney’s “The Muppets” Blu-ray Combo Pack, with its flawless picture and pitch perfect sound,
comes with a fantastic slate of bonus content including the laugh out loud “The Longest
Blooper Reel Ever Made (In Muppet History––We Think).” The exciting release also includes
the hilarious featurette “A Little Screen Test on the Way to the Read Through,” which follows
Jason Segel, Kermit, The Great Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and others as they get ready for
the first day of production, and much more fun.

“Blu-ray is a great way to bring the Muppets into your home without having to worry about cleaning
up after us,” said Kermit the Frog, commenting on the announcement. “And the behind-the-scenes
extras are a revealing tell-all look at what it took to bring our movie to the big screen. It’s a must-see for
fans of bloopers, flubs and slip-ups – which pretty much describes our act.”

Miss Piggy is equally thrilled at the movie’s Blu-ray release, “Now you can watch moi whenever you
want! Ooh! Lucky vous!”

Additional fun-filled features on Disney’s “The Muppets” Blu-ray include a groundbreaking industry first
– ‘Disney Intermission,’ a hilarious all-new feature that allows viewers to press Pause on their remote
control and watch as the Muppets take over the screen and entertain until the movie resumes playing.
The release also includes “Explaining Evil: The Full Tex Richman Song,” an extended version of the
rollicking rap song by villain Tex Richman (Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper) who provides the
hilarious backstory of why he hates the Muppets. Audio commentaries with screenwriter and star Jason
Segel, director James Bobin and screenwriter Nicholas Stoller are also included.

With the Muppet’s signature irreverent comedy, songs and dancing, Muppet fans of all ages will cheer
as the gang reunites to put on a benefit show to save the crumbling Muppet Studios from being razed by
nefarious oil baron Tex Richman. New fans and long-time devotees will find the rainbow connection

Film Synopsis
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and
Gary’s girlfriend, Mary (Amy Adams), from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex
Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze Muppet Studios and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the
Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage a telethon and raise the $10 million needed to save the
studio, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways:
Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size
fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a
high-powered plumbing magnate.

Disney’s “The Muppets” is directed by James Bobin (“Flight of the Conchords,” “The Ali G Show”) and
produced by the Academy Award®-nominated team of David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman (“The
Fighter,” “The Proposal”) with a screenplay written by Segel & Nicholas Stoller (“Get Him to the Greek”),
who also serve as executive producers along with John G. Scotti and “The Muppet Show” veteran Martin
G. Baker. Bret McKenzie, who created, co-wrote, executive-produced and starred in the hit HBO
television series “Flight of the Conchords,” is the music supervisor as well as the writer/producer of
three original songs. Original score is by Christophe Beck, Michael Rooney is the choreographer, Rahel
Afiley is the costume designer, and James Thomas is the editor. Steve Saklad is the production designer,
and Don Burgess, A.S.C., is the director of photography.
