The Oscar-nominated movie, Entertainment Weekly reported, also includes appearances by live-action actors Bob Hope, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Cloris Leachman and Orson Welles.
"'The Muppet Movie' is a cinematic treasure, a delightful film that may have been made 40 years ago but is truly timeless, thanks both to its iconic characters and to its always-stirring theme of following your dreams and believing in your own abilities," Fathom Events Vice President of Studio Relations Tom Lucas said in a statement. "This film's return to the big screen is very well deserved and we are happy to work with The Jim Henson Company and Universal Pictures to give it a proper nationwide re-release."
