Movie Reviews of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas
Movie Review: A quick note about this classic...
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a quick note that Kermit was NOT in the original version. The original version was just as it is here, only with one extra line where Ma tells off Gretchen Fox.
Kermit did not appear as "Narrator" until ABC began to air it at Christmas time with other Muppets Christmas movies. Kermit was actually introduced to give the movie more "marquis appeal" at Prime Time.
We watched the original on HBO when I was a kid, and all remember the day it aired on Broadcast TV because the show we had grown to love was initially unrecognizable.
This was an intense labor of love by Jim Henson and team over a season break from the Muppet Show. It had little resemblances to the Muppets as Henson's whole intention was to create a world with Puppetry that was more compelling than animation and was a removal from what people had grown to know about the Muppets...it was ABC's idea to add Kermit.
