I was just looking through my old VHS tapes, and I found the Muppets Christmas special. I don't know who remembers it, but the whole gang went to Fozzies moms house for Christmas. It has the Muppets, the Sesamestreet(spelling) cast, and the Fraggels. I just recorded it onto a DVD, and I'm so glad I found this. It also has a brief cameo by Jim Henson at the end. Anyway, does anyone else remember this classic Muppet film?

OH MY GOD!!!
I love that movie. Big Bird was in it and there was this big blizzard. The Swedish Chef kept chasing around the turkey and trying to get him in the pan. Kermit and Piggy were seperated due to the bad weather.
That show was the best! I accidentally found it a few years ago, my husband and I dig it out every christmas!!!!

Thank you, I knew someone else had to remember that movie. My favorite parts were when they would walk in the front door, and slip on the icy step. That is truly a great Christmas classic. I wonder if that movie could ever be re-released? I mean it has the Muppets(who are now Disney property), and the Fraggels(Henson property), and the Sesamestreet gang(??), so could it be redistributed? Oh well, at least I got a copy :p

i have an old video tape of that too, taped off of tv in the late 80's. it IS available on vhs, but i wouldn't recommend it, they couldn't get the rights to all of the songs for sale (just broadcast) so the home video version is cut up and only half the length

I wasn't trying to be an a____________. I was just saying. Trust me, people can be a lot more rude about it than how I said it. At least I said something about the movie too and didn't just tell you messed up. Get over it, or are you really that sensitive? :p:lol:

Edit: Thanks for changing your post.

The opening song, "We need a little christmas" is one of my favorites!

I have the English DVD of a " A Muppet Family Christmas " that I got from here...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000C24UZ/qid=1139547785/sr=8-6/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i6_xgl/026-0809755-2109252

This version includes all the songs from the original television debut, unlike the american version which had songs cut due to legal reasons.

You'll just need to make sure you have a multi-regional dvd player.

The cool thing about this DVD is that it also includes "The Christmas Toy".

Now all I need is the "Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas" dvd and my Henson Holiday specials will be complete.:)

Picture of Emmet Otter's Jugband is below.

Excellent movie. Still a staple in my house after probably about 19 years worth of replaying on the original tape. I still watch it at least twice every Christmas season. Although the movie is great, my favorite part is the commercials. My First Sony, Doublemint Twins, old fast food promos, old movie previews, crispy critters cereal, omg I could keep going...
