3.0 out of 5 stars Two Classics, sadly mangled, December 27, 2002

This review is from: Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas / A Muppet Family Christmas (DVD)

I was thrilled to receive these two old favorites for Christmas. Then, I watched them. For A Muppet Family Christmas, the video has been remastered and the picture is quite clear, but there are HUGE edits, entire scenes cut out, that not only remove the best part of the show, but make the whole experience choppy (see other reviews under "A Muppet Family Christmas" sold separately).

Emmet Otter is, as near as I remember, fully intact, but the audio remastering has left the lyrics during the musical numbers nearly impossible to discern, even if you know them by heart.

If you've got either of these taped off of TV from some time in the past, I would encourage you to borrow a second VCR and record them over onto a fresh tape to last you another 15 or so years. Maybe they'll have brought out a good version of these shows by then.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well - are the deleted scenes back in or not???, December 16, 2005

This review is from: Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas / A Muppet Family Christmas (DVD)

One review says that the deleted scenes have been put back into the Muppet Family Christmas. I would certainly buy this movie, but only if that were the case. But then I read another review that says that scenes have still been cut. I noticed that the length of the movie is still the same (42 mins.) and thus I tend to think that the the deleted scenes were not restored. If the scenes have been restored, my review would be 5 stars!!!
