Summary: Very disappointed
Review: It's my fault for assuming the title was changed, but I thought going in that this was the Christmas Special I remembered seeing as a kid, and found out the hard way after opening the DVD. If you're a fan of John Denver's country music and the muppets, then add a star to this DVD. If you really wanted "John Denver & the Muppets: A Christmas Together," don't make the same mistake I did, and skip this one. Hopefully that will be released soon.

Summary: a little known Muppet "movie" deserving of attention
Review: John Denver and Jim Henson were good friends in real life and teamed up on several occasions (Muppet Show episode, John Denver and the Muppets Christmas Special, and Rocky Mtn. Holiday) to produce some good old fashioned family entertainment. In fact, according to Jim Henson's son, Brian, the story line for this movie stemmed from the episode of the Muppet Show that starred John Denver, in which he spends the entire show trying to convince the gang to go camping with him (note: this is according to the bonus features on the John Denver episode of the Muppet Show on DVD).Rocky Mtn. Holiday contains the typical Muppet one-liners (John: "The mosquitos aren't bad", Kermit: "Aren't bad?! They're delicious!") and Muppetisms (Fozzie, claiming to speak 'Bearish' had a miscommunication problem with a wild bear thanks to dialect issues - she speaks Grizzlie, he speaks Paddington!) that make Muppet productions enjoyable. Although this movie was produced in 1982, it is timeless thanks to the natural beauty of the scenery and the ageless Muppets themselves. For a tv movie that was produced in the early 80's, I am rather impressed with it's transfer to DVD. There are no special features, unless you count trailers for other Muppet movies or scene selection capabilities, BUT... the color is bright and the sound is well balanced. At a mere 47 minutes (thanks to tasteful selective editing out of the Rowlf / John flying scene), I am not sure this qualifies as a "movie" exactly, but it is a worthwhile purchase nonetheless, if only for nostalgia reasons. And, for those of you patiently (or impatiently?) waiting for the JD & Muppets Christmas to come out on DVD, you'll be pleased to know that the song "It's In Every One of Us" is also in THIS movie. Enjoy!

Summary: Down Home Nostalgia
Review: Over twenty years have passed since this special originally aired, yet the timeless enviornment of the Rockies paired with the engaging Muppets during their heyday keep the program from feeling dated. There are a few subtle messages sprinkled throughout the special, such as conservation and keeping our forests clean, that still merit hearing today. Sadly, at least three of the great talents featured in this show are no longer with us, Jim Henson, Richard Hunt, and, of course, John Denver, but the dvd is a perfect legacy of warm family feelings and humor.

Summary: A Rocky Mountain Treat For All Ages
Review: The beauty of this special, directed by Jim Henson, is the down-home, family feel that John Denver and the Muppets so effortlessly capture. It has minimal special effects and a very light plot, but offers instead the natural beauty of the outdoors and the simple joys of beautiful music. A short scene with John and Rowlf flying has been omitted due to the circumstances of John's passing. This decision was made in very good taste, and doesn't harm the overall feature. This film is sure to please any family and will, in time, become a treasured classic.

Summary: A treat for John Denver fans
Review: This 1982 special is just beyond cute. While Miss Piggy only shows up in a cameo, the rest of the core gang is here...including Kermit's nephew Robin. It's a mix of campfire classics and some wonderful John Denver songs. The highlight of the whole show is John singing CATCH ANOTHER BUTTERFLY to young Robin when Robin is feeling blue about being so small. BTW, the kid's in that vignette just happen to be Joh'ns own kids Zach and AnnaKate. This is an awesome special. My only "complaint" is that it was over so soon.

Review: This Dvd is great. It has classic Denver songs and inspires with great shots of the mountain scenery and wildlife. It has something for everyone: the usual subtle adult humor the Muppets have a knack for, and the kids will love it too. Mine watch every day!

Summary: John Denver and the Muppets, Rocky Mountain Holiday
Review: This heartwarming video will be loved by all ages, and can be especially appreciated by those who have spent time out in nature. The Muppets are hilarious and it is obvious how much John Denver enjoyed making the movie. Good lessons are learned on the trip and fun is had by all, especially those watching the video. Get an extra copy of this one because your kids will wear it out.

Summary: Camping movie
Review: What a good film! This film has a lot of camping stuff involved with this. Camp songs that they might sing, and cute scenes. I can't imagine how the puppeteers managed to make the puppets look like they were walking through the woods with John Denver at that level.
