 Classic Muppet Special & Jim Henson Outshines Them All! November 26, 2008
B. Cha (Chicago, IL United States)
Originally released in 1986 on T.V. as a prime time holiday special. It is one of the best specials Jim Henson ever produced. And I have been waiting for this to be realeased on DVD forever! I am so happy that they have finally done it, except for cutting out Kermit. What can you do, complain and whine? I'm just happy I can share this story with my kids and it brings such warm memories from Christmas when I was a kid. It is truly The Original "Toy Story".
Now, I love Pixar, but they completely ripped off the idea from Jim Henson. I wish credit was put where credit is due.
Enjoy this one, it truly is a Christmas Classic!
Here is a synopsis of the story from IMDb:
When no people are around, the toys still play in the playroom. But since a toy will be frozen forever if a person catches it out of position, they have to be very careful. It's Christmas Eve, and Rugby the Tiger remembers how he was the Christmas Toy last year, and thinks he's going to be unwrapped again. And it's up to Apple the Doll, whom Rugby supplanted as favorite toy, to tell him what's in store. But Rugby won't believe her, and tries to get into the Christmas package and lets Meteora, Queen of the Asteroids loose. Unfortunately, she doesn't know she's a toy, and thinks she's landed among aliens. And it's up to Apple, Mew (the Cat's toy mouse), and the other toys to get Rugby out of the box and Meteora back in it before they're found and frozen.

I have been looking online every year around Christmas time seeing if I can pick up this movie even on VHS (even used VHS tapes were selling for a rediculous price).
I watched this movie when I was 10 back when it first came out... such a well done, touching story. Definitely a Christmas classic and I'm glad other's have seen the value and put it on DVD!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
 Would have been 5 Stars if Kermit Wasn't Chopped November 17, 2008
Review ar
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm very tired of the cla$$ic Muppet specials being cut. I am grateful for the DVD relea$e and give the program 5 $tar$ but the overall relea$e it$elf I give a 3. I am ju$t glad that I read review$ before I received my copy or el$e I would have been terribly di$appointed. The Fraggle Rock fia$co, where they didn't relea$e $ea$on 4 individually and thought people would be willing to buy a complete $et just to get that $ea$on wa$ in and of it$elf bad enough. Now thi$? I think Hit need$ to reevaluate how they are doing thing$, they aren't ju$t me$$ing with an original creation by Jim Henson, they are also me$$ing with our childhood memorie$. That is $omething you $imply can't put a price tag on.
