Emmet Otter is a warm story with just a hint of humor, and of course it features Henson's usual high-quality puppetry. My three- and five-year-olds walk around singing "Aint No Hole in the Washtub," and I like "When the River Meets the Sea." The outtakes, too, on this DVD are great.

This is my wife's favorite xmas video. She loved having it to watch whenever, wherever. Our grandson liked it too!

This was a childhood favorite of mine, I remember watching this movie and thinking how real the movie looked to me. I wanted my children to watch this in hopes they love it just as much as I did growing up. The shipping was fast and it was worth the money movies like this are hard to find.

What a great throw-back to happy holiday memories! Although many have tried, no one can match the magical touch of Jim Henson and his crew. The different genres of puppetry are mastered and on full display in this thoughtful and rewarding tale. My child and I laugh each time we watch this movie during the holidays, and we watch it several times. It never gets old as we sing the songs long after we are done watching them.

So glad to see a classic such as 'Emett Otter's Jug Band Christmas' on DVD! It is a shame that this movie does not air during the holidays!

This movie is a classic. Others had mentioned that the dvd was different from the original, but I did not notice, and I have had the VHS for years. The Christmas toy was a bonus.

I first saw this movie {Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas/The Christmas Toy by Jerry Nelson, Frank Oz} over a dozen years ago and love the first then. Over the years I have bought every video of this movie that I can find just so I can give them to people I know that like good family movies. The last video of this movie I bought for myself and I still love this fun movie.

These are two Jim Henson television specials which I'm thrilled are finally on DVD. The only reason this set didn't get five stars is that the clear plastic over one of the covers was peeling back. But otherwise, if you're a Jim Henson fan, you ought to get these.
