The Muppets are almost back in action, and to celebrate, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is re-releasing two Muppet favorites on Blu-Ray. Muppets From Space and The Muppets Take Manhattan will hit stores on August 16. The re-release of these films looks to be in anticipation of The Muppets, the Jason Segel/Nicholas Stoller-written film, which is set to reach theaters this November.

The releases look pretty solid. The Blu-Rays will only run buyers $19.99 and both films will come with special features. Muppets From Space, which originally came out in 1999, will come with outtakes, a featurette, and the “Shining Star” video. The Muppets Take Manhattan came out in 1984, before Jim Henson’s death, so the Blu-Ray release will actually include interview footage with Henson. Three featurettes focusing on Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and Kermit, and Pepe will also come with the film.

Apparently, Sony couldn’t get the rights to redistribute Muppet Treasure Island, which is a shame because that movie has Blind Pew. Here’s what you won’t be seeing….
