Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJim Henson: in the kitchen just before the credits.
- GoofsWhen Fozzie introduces Kermit to his mother, he says that Kermit is his boss who gave him his big break. Since they are all together in the Christmas home movie when they are babies, they knew each other much earlier but Fozzie means Kermit gave him his break into show business.
- Quotes
Ernie: Oh, hi there. Hey, we're Ernie and Bert.
Doc: Hi there yourself, I'm Doc.
Bert: Did you know that Doc starts with the letter "D"?
Doc: Why, yes.
Ernie: Yes! Yes starts with the letter "Y".
Doc: True.
Ernie: And true starts with the letter "T".
Doc: [chuckles] Hey, what is this?
Bert: Where we come from, this is small talk.
Doc: Well, whatever you day, nice to be meeting you, but I'd better go up and build some bunk beds.
Ernie: B words.
[he and Bert laugh]
- Alternate versionsIn the latest video release, the following scenes were deleted:
- A very funny joke scene between Fozzie and his snowman.
- Rowlf playing the piano when he first arrives at the farmhouse.
- Piggy singing "Home for the Holidays" when she's first brought to the farmhouse and slipping on the icy patch.
- Statler and Waldorf's "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day".
- When the Muppets watch the film strip of themselves as the Muppet Babies, the cute scenes of them singing and the adults complimenting on it were cut and it goes right to Animal bursting through the screen.
- Mrs. Bear putting up Fozzie's stocking, Fozzie says he's too old for that stuff, but changes his mind and doesn't want her to take it down.
- During the medley at the end, Kermit and Piggy sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson (1990)
I really liked this one, because it has a lot of your favorite Muppets all gathered up for Christmas at Fozzie's mother's farmhouse, who didn't expected her own son to bring company over.
While Doc(from Fraggle Rock) was expected to have a quiet Christmas, but finds the farmhouse to be packed with Muppets. And to make it more interesting the entire Sesame Street Muppet gang came all the way from new york to celebrate with them.
And not to mention the 5 main Fraggles from Fraggle Rock, who know little about Christmas also decide to join the fun. With these many Muppets all under on roof, you'll be sure to expect one enjoyable Christmas TV movie.
With some Chirstmas Carols, and jokes. I'm sure any Muppet Fan will be pleased with this TV special. The cool thing is this was made when Jim was still around. He even made a cameo at the end just cause it's the holidays. I re watched this off of the recent DVD release which had a few minutes cut out of it. Cause I remember some extended scenes that were included in the TV version.
Hopefully one day there'll be an uncut DVD of this fine Christmas program. If Jim were still alive, he'd be sure that this TV movie will remain uncut for everyone to enjoy.
