They've done some.. strange.. things with the Muppets in recent years, some of them not so good. Chopping up what is, to me at least, a bit of classic Muppet history is - if not the most heinous - is pretty freakin' weird.
Yes, but this wasn't in recent years. The abridged edit of the film was the one in some theatres at original release in 1979. It seems to be the official edit and always to have been. This happened while Henson was still alive, folks (which is not to say it was his decision, but neither can it be laid at the door of any later owner of the franchise). The question is coming to be, how the hell did the Six West multiplex in Omaha get their hands on the unabridged version? And does no one but me remember ever even seeing it?
