Special Edition DVD on the way

Taken from Ultimate Disney (http://www.ultimatedisney.com/):

A sneak peek on the new catalogue discs reveals some other quite exciting news. Believe it or not, Kermit the Frog is turning 50 this year; his debut television appearance was on Jim Henson's black-and-white program "Sam and Friends" in 1955. In celebration of this golden anniversary, Disney will be rereleasing four of the Muppets' most popular films to Special Edition DVD: The Muppet Movie (1979), The Great Muppet Caper (1981), The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) and Muppet Treasure Island. The promo provides no new release date nor information on bonus features, but ensures the films are "completely restored and remastered." One assumes from the widescreen clips previewed that each will be presented in their original 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratios, which was not the case when Disney first released Carol and Island to DVD in 2002. We'll have more details for you as soon as they come in!

Woah! Since when is the Great Muppet Caper PG? The only PG rated muppet movie that has ever been made was "A Very Muppet Christmas Movie"!

Great Muppet Caper isn't PG

Well it is in some countries but not in countries like the UK and the US.
