Rating: Summary: :) Review: This is definately one of THE BEST Muppet movies there is, I am referring to the original unedited version, I haven't seen the version being sold. Some were saying the it was edited which is very disappointing. THe original version is great though, I've been watching it since a was young, This website has an error though, They switched up the years of two of the muppet movies. This movie "A Muppet Family Christmas came out in 1992, The Muppet Christmas Carol came out in 1996, Amazon has the dates reversed, Just thought it would be worth mentioning :).
Rating: Summary: Skip Muppet Christmas Carol and grab this instead Review: Was The Muppet Christmas Carol not quite the classic you had hoped it would be? Still looking for a great Muppet Christmas movie? This is a holiday dream come true, featuring just about every Muppet character from Big Bird to Sgt. FLoyd Pepper to Fraggle Rock's Sprocket. It is funny, cute, charming and not the least bit corny. Elmo is present, but has no speaking parts, which means that some of the other Sesame Street characters have time to shine.
Rating: Summary: Have to add my one star Review: I agree with everyone else on the page. I felt shortchanged whn I watched this for the first time because of all the missing scenes. Whoever would chop up a Muppet special doesn't deserve my money.
Rating: Summary: A real shame. Review: This a wonderful, old favorite of my whole family. When we found the released version in a clearance bin we jumped at the chance to buy a new, presumably better quality version of it. Unfortunately, this falls way short of our expectations. Too many of the wonderful parts are missing from the old version my family owns (complete with equally old commercials!) when it was still televised in the 80s. I love the full version so much that I watch it when it's no where NEAR christmas! I would gladly give up my full version to Jim Henson productions so that they can put it on VHS and DVD for everyone to enjoy (though not anyone else, sorry!)
Rating: Summary: A great Muppet special in a disappointing package Review: This is one of the best specials the Muppets ever did and marked the last time the Muppets were all together before Jim Henson died. Too bad, then, that this release edits out several scenes shown on TV: the Muppet babies singing in home movies, Rowlf and Sprocket at the piano, Fozzie's duet with a snowman. The result is a choppy version that doesn't do justice to the talented people who created this program. A disappointment to anyone who is used to getting MORE on a DVD-- this version provides LESS.
Rating: Summary: Like It But Will Only Buy Non-edited Tape or DVD!! Review: I loved this Christmas special it was so cute and I really enjoyed the songs especially We Need A Little Christmas which was the first time I had ever heard the song and is now one of my favorites. I wanted to buy the video or DVD for This Muppets Christmas special but I'm a little disappointed that scenes were cut out so I rate this a 3 because it has been edited but if it hadn't been edited I would rate it a 5.
Rating: Summary: My Fave Movie! Review: This movie may seem kind of kiddish, but I love it! It is my favorite movie and I recomend it for everyone! Hilarious and fun!:)
Rating: Summary: Explanation from the Jim Henson Company Review: I'm one of the many people who loved the original but was really disappointed with the VHS/DVD releases. This is the response I got from the JimHenson Company:"It is true that the recorded release of "A Muppet Family Christmas." is shorter than the broadcast special. The original agreement that was made for the music of this special was for broadcast television only. Subsequently, when we tried to arrange for the home video we were not allowed to release it unless certain selections were removed. This situation remains unchanged." My suggestion, like others, would be to find somebody who has a good copy of the original. (Let me know if you do! My copy is getting a little old...)
Rating: Summary: GREAT!!! Review: I have this on tape from when it was aired on tv in 1987 I believe the year was. This is my FAVORITE christmas show to watch every year!
Rating: Summary: MUPPETS RULE! Review: Fozzie Bear's family hosts a festive feast in this menagarie of so VERY merry Muppets!! Beloved characters, wacky antics and farmiliar Christmas tunes combine for a holiday treat. This is the absolute best movie! You must buy it! A+ definetly! Buy it! It's awesome!!!!!!!
