For Die-Hard Muppet fans.... but not many others
Let's get this straight: I did NOT buy this because it's a great family Christmas movie that should be ranked up there with the likes of Rudolph and Frosty. I bought this because I am a die-hard Muppet fan and merchandise like this is something I should be in possession of. This movie is actually notorious for being awful and Sesame Street at its lowest. Low-budget, poorly written, not staying true to the characters, and chock-full of pointless celebrity cameos and songs are the terms to accurately describe this movie. Anne Murray singing a random love song (not related in ANY way to Christmas) to Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch out-of-nowhere shredding the electric guitar to "Yakety Yak," and taking a big chunk of time devoted to Leslie Uggams singing "Accustomed to Your Face" from a distant window to Oscar are not vital or even relevant to the story, and yet there they are. Not all of the Sesame Street cast (Muppet or human) is used, and filling the rest of the slots is a slew of forced...
What fun to watch !
Oh my gosh...this was such fun to see "old" friends from Sesame Street !
What I enjoyed the most (my kids and granddaughter as well) was that Oscar had a staring roll. When my son was little we found out that Oscar and I have the same birthday...June 1. So Oscar is a favorite in our house.
Thank-you Sesame Street for putting this production on dvd !
We tend to watch Christmas movies in the summer...keeps you cool in the "dog days" of a MI summer. (:-)

kinda disappointed. i was hoping michael was going to sing too. they should have release it as a special bonus feature on the dvd.
