DVD Day: March 20th, 2012

?? The Muppets
The fantastic Muppet movie — whose Academy Award-winning soundtrack ranks right there with the original Muppet Movie and Great Muppet Caper, in my opinion — has a bare-bones DVD release, a DVD release with a couple of extras and a coupon to download said soundtrack, and then a Blu-ray/DVD combo with a ton of extras. I’ve linked to the Blu-ray. Obviously.
? Battle Royale: The Complete Collection
Available on DVD and Blu-ray. Contains the theatrical cut of the first movie, the director’s cut of the first movie, the horrible sequel (don’t let anyone tell you it’s not), and a 3-plus-hour extras/bonus disc. Battle Royale is available individually; Battle Royale 2 is also available individually, if you hate yourself and/or your money.
? Batman: Brave and the Bold: Season Two, Part 2
I’m guessing 13 episodes, including “Emperor Joker,” the Bat-Mite episode including the Bat-manga’s Lord Death Man and Weird Al Yankovic, and the infamous “Matches Malone” episode (I assume, you might want to check the package to make sure).
? The Adventures of Tintin: Season 2
? Box of Bigfoot: Hillibillies Vs. Sasquatch
Includes Capture of Bigfoot, Legend of Bigfoot, and The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek (not to be confused with MST3K‘s Boggy Creek 2: and the Legend Continues). I know these films must be terrible, but “Hillbillies Vs. Sasquatch” makes it sound so good!
