	The Great Muppet Caper (1993)
		The Great Muppet Caper followed in a same vein; while I can’t clearly say I preferred it to the original flick, it succeeded in some ways that the 1979 piece didn’t.
		Caper was possibly the most tongue in cheek of the three, and its sly attitude carries the day throughout the film.
		The Great Muppet Caper appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 and in a fullscreen version on this double-sided, single-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	The Great Muppet Caper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Muppet Caper is the second of a series of live-action musical feature films, starring Jim Henson's Muppets.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Great Muppet Caper
		The first Muppet film, which outlined the genesis of the group under fearless leader Kermit the Frog, was a huge success, paving the way for a string of sequels, some successful, others not so much.
		The Muppets are constantly aware that they are in the midst of a movie, and some of the funniest laughs come from their asides to the audience.
		Muppet From Space and The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland are full-frame and appear to be theatrical trailers.

		Then, as all fingers point at the ambitious swine as the perpetrator of the crime, Miss Piggy turns to Kermit and his friends to clear her name by solving The Great Muppet Caper and nabbing the real culprits.
		Muppet creator Jim Henson has a cameo appearance in the film--look for him in the restaurant scene.
		In commemoration of Kermit's 50th Anniversary, Buena Vista Home Entertainment is releasing to DVD in a restored and re-mastered format The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppet Christmas Carol, and Muppet Treasure Island.

		The Muppets are fond of breaking down that pesky fourth wall, which gives the movie some of its cleverest moments and will elicit the biggest laughs from the kids.
		The Great Muppet Caper boasts crowd-pleasingly silly musical numbers which combine with clever jokes and sight gags that range from innocently goofy to relatively sophisticated, clearly taking into consideration the audience's wide range of ages.
		The Great Muppet Caper is, of course, populated by Henson's very cuddly and adorable creations, but is also smart enough to know that while cute can carry you a long way on a short T.V. show, a feature length film requires a little more effort.

	The Great Muppet Caper: Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition (1981)
		Here, Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear and The Great Gonzo are journalists in England investigating the theft of a gem known as the Baseball Diamond, which belonged to fashion maven Lady Holiday.
		Most Muppet fans prefer the first film to the sequels, which include 1984’s The Muppets Take Manhattan, 1992’s, 1996’s Muppet Treasure Island and 1999’s Muppets From Space.
		Although Caper includes some cameos from actors like John Cleese and Peter Falk, these seem to be much less intrusive than the “star a minute” technique displayed in Movie.

		According to the Muppets' second movie, Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear are identical twins and wannabe newspaper reporters.
		The romance, as in the first Muppet movie, is provided by Miss Piggy, an aspiring model this time around who, as usual, becomes smitten by the high class frog Kermit.
		All the Muppet gang from "the Muppet Show" are back, with celebrity cameos by the likes of Robert Morley, John Cleese, Peter Ustinov and Oscar the Grouch.

		The Great Muppet Caper is the second of a series of live-action musical feature films starring the Muppets.
		Accompanied by Gonzo the Great as their photographer, they are assigned to investigate the theft of a valuable diamond necklace from fashion designer Lady Holiday.
		The end of the bicycle scene, where all the Muppets are shown riding together was actually done by putting all of the Muppet characters onto their bikes, then hooking them together.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER
		THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER ($20) is certainly one of the funniest films in the series, thanks to a rib tickling plot that allows the Muppets to "break character" whenever it will get a cheap laugh.
		In THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER, we find Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear portraying identical twin brothers, who are working as newspaper reporters.
		This disc should delight Muppet fans, since it allows them to enjoy the characters and their hilarious exploits in their own homes.

	Great Muppet Caper (film soundtrack)
		The Great Muppet Caper, featured as The Muppet cast on this album, had all worked together as The Muppet Show Eight, that is the eight main puppeteers on The Muppet Show, where they all sang frequently.
		Muppet performers Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Dave Goelz, and, Louise Gold are all featured on the albums: The Muppet Show Music Hall, The Muppet Show 2 and
		The Muppet Fight Song, though far to short, is a great little anthem for them and a neat twist on football songs.

		Usually, the disarming nature of the way the Muppets sing add charm to this type of thing, but here the music is so bad that it can't be saved.
		I think Henson felt he had to repeat the formula of The Muppet Movie in order for The Great Muppet Caper to be a success, but he fell prey to the "bigger is better" fallacy, leaving us with a movie that alternates between hilarity and tedium.
		I was mad about not having a 5.1 mix on The Muppets Take Manhattan, but had I known there wouldn't be a difference, I would have been content with a good 2.0 mix.

		The Muppets are a wonderful creation, but they lose their special quality in "The Great Muppet Caper." They behave like clones of other popular kiddie superstars -- like the basic cartoon heroes they once seemed destined to replace.
		Jim Henson's original inspiration with the Muppets was to invest them with very real human qualities: Miss Piggy's vanity and insecurity, Kermit's insouciant inquisitiveness, Fozzie's fuzzy desire to be loved, and so on.
		That was the approach of many of the Muppet TV episodes and of the original "The Muppet Movie" (1979).

		The Great Muppet Caper is one of the few films I recall viewing over and over as a child.
		All of the Muppet films recently released on DVD have included this segment where Pepe the Crawfish profiles the career of a specific Muppet character in about five minutes.
		While The Great Muppet Caper is one of my least favorite entries in the Muppet series, this is from my adult perspective.

		Since parodies are what the Muppets do best, and since this was pulled off so cleanly, it comes across not just as a parody, but as a great movie in its own right.
		The music, while not as poignant as that of "The Muppet Movie," is from Joe Raposo, prolific Sesame Street composer who wrote the words and music for the Sesame Street Theme, C Is For Cookie, Bein' Green, Sing, Doin' The Pigeon, and many other Sesame classics.
		The music here is great, ranging from classic Astaire-style numbers like "Steppin Out With A Star," sung by Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo, to a rockin bluegrassy-dixieland style song, "Happiness Hotel" that introduces us to the rest of the Muppet Gang in a shack-nasty hotel in London.

		When Kermit goes on his date with "Lady Holiday" there is a song being played in the background.
		It's basically an intrumental version of "Steppin' Out With a Star." When I checked (on muppet central.com) the track listings for the soundtrack, that song is not on it.

		This is really a huge departure from the normal Muppet movies of the time, and it may take a little while to see these characters playing out of their normal roles.
		It’s not a bad idea, because the Muppets bring a lot of comedy to their roles, and we are supposed to suspend disbelief and believe that they really do talk and walk and can go about their lives like we see on film.
		With The Great Muppet Caper, what we have is an installment that is intended to be interesting and fun, while adding a little more drama to the lives on the main characters.

		The Great Muppet Caper is the best of the Muppets' films, thanks to a truly exciting heist-oriented storyline, and more hilarious antics from Henson's creatures.
		After crash-landing the balloon, the Muppets break out into song, making their way through the streets of London delivering a very catchy tune that's been in my head for over 20 years.
		The classic family film, The Great Muppet Caper is being revisited on DVD thanks to Walt Disney Home Video.

		With the first Muppet Movie, the intent of the film was to introduce the Muppet characters, and show just how they made their progress through meeting, attending college, and making it big on Broadway.
		The second movie, The Great Muppet Caper went a different route with the characters, and showed them as actors in parts, rather than as the characters we would come to enjoy in both The Muppet Movie and The Muppets Take Manhattan.
		If you haven t seen it, The Great Muppet Caper is a great film to add to your family s collection.

	THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER - DVD
		Jim Henson said that The Great Muppet Caper was the Muppet movie nearest and dearest to his heart, and it's easy to deduce why.
		And it's closer in execution to "The Muppet Show", Henson's surreal, Emmy-winning brainchild that ran on TV for five years, than either The Muppet Movie or The Muppets Take Manhattan; told with wit, The Great Muppet Caper deconstructs itself all the while.
		Columbia Tri-Star's DVD release of The Great Muppet Caper is a flipper that showcases a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen version on side one and a pan-and-scan abomination on side two.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Great Muppet Caper
		The Great Muppet Caper (1981) is no exception to the Henson rule.
		Although not quite as fresh and original as its predecessor, The Muppet Movie (1979), Caper boasts plenty of laughs and action, as well as the self-referential asides and cameo appearances that fans love.
		The plot moves along tidily, but the chief delight of The Great Muppet Caper (as with most Muppet productions) is its sly humor and crazy characters.

	The Great Muppet Caper - Movie Review
		"Great?" I'm not sure about that, but this minor kiddie classic is reasonably entertaining, if only for the chance to see Charles Grodin falling in love for a stuffed pig.
		The film opens with amazing promise: Immediately dazzling us with a plethora of Hollywood in-jokes (the poking of fun begins with Kermit and Fozzie mocking the opening credits).
		There aren't too many suspects (hint: it isn't a puppet), so the film becomes a showpiece for some fun songs and action sequences, which memorably has the Muppets climbing a wall in order to escape from guard dogs.
