EMMET Otter’s JUG BAND CHRISTMAS vhs video JIM HENSON muppets Kermit

 

These were videos that my children watched, and to my knowledge all are in good working order. This one comes with original paper sleeve in good condition. 48 minutes.

Originally a special for HBO, this Jim Henson production (he also directed) was one of the first real forays into the more realistic, less vaudevillian direction for the Muppets. It also included Frank Oz (Muppeteer), Paul Williams (songs), and Jerry Juhl (script), some of the Muppet Show's usual suspects. Emmet Otter and his jug band are trying out in the local talent show, but they face fierce competition from a gang of toughs, the Riverbottom Gang and their rock band. Perhaps the most notable thing is the creation of a sense of poverty and want that suffuses the little production. Even Emmet's mother, who sacrifices her washtub to further Emmet's cause, gets in the act. Fine Christmas viewing for all ages.

 

Reviews:

 

“Only Jim Henson could use such charming hand puppets to tell his story so that children (and adults) can understand the meaning of love for our fellow man. All the little otter friends in Frog Hollow tell us a charming story of love and devotion. The original music and songs are easy for "our little otter pals" to sing. The magic in Henson's story is one we can all remember for many years to come… the meaning that Henson wanted to tell comes through in every frame of the film.”

All are believed to be in good working order. Most of my auctions are as-is, but since I haven’t had time to double check all the videos, if there is a problem it can be returned for a refund.
