Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Good concept, poorly executed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This is one of the greatest Christmas specials ever made! It's so magical because it's one of the very few times we get to see characters from The Muppet Show, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock come together. I love watching this every year at Christmas time and sometimes I enjoy watching it not at Christmas time. I love watching it because this is something that could not be made today because the Muppets are now owned by Disney and even if it was made today it wouldn't be as good because most of these characters have new puppeteers and voice actors that aren't as good. I highly recommend watching this if you can. It's a very special Muppet Christmas special. I think I like it better than A Charlie Brown Christmas even though it doesn't hold up as well.

In my opinion, this ties with "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" for being the best Muppet Christmas special out there. I have a copy tapes off of Nickelodeon, so it's ALMOST uncut, but it's better than the DVD print out now.You get to see many classic Muppets from the Muppet Show, with their original performers (Jim Henson, Richard Hunt, Frank Oz, and others). The show is also chock full of classic Sesame Street characters, too! Elmo is here, but thankfully, he has no lines. A bunch of rare, forgotten Sesame characters are here, too, including Simon Soundman (a guy who can make sound effects), Sherlock Hemlock (a Sherlock Holmes-wannabe), Forgetful Jones (a cowboy with bad memory), and even Guy Smiley! (OK, so he's not that forgotten, but he was retired when Jim Henson died.) :( But this is still a great way to see many old Muppets (just as "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" is a great way to see Mr. Hooper).Also, the live-action Muppet Babies are SO CUTE! Their voices are the same as on the "I'm Gonna Always Love You" song in "The Muppets Take Manhattan," but I prefer the cartoon voices for them better, even though the cartoon makes Gonzo sound like a girl. :P I also think that the REAL star of this special is Jerry Nelson, a talented veteran Muppet performer whom has worked with the Henson company since 1970. He gets to do many of his Muppet Show characters, including Robin the Frog, Emily Bear, Lew Zealand, Crazy Harry, Camilla the Chicken, and Floyd Pepper. But he seems to be more well-known for his Sesame Street work, for this special also features Herry Monster, Count Von Count, Biff the Construction Worker, Fred the Wonder Horse, Simon Soundman, Sherlock Hemlock, and a few others. He also performed Gobo Fraggle on "Fraggle Rock." He seems to be a man of many voices, and he has also done announcers on those shows, too.Anyways, I recommend it to all you Muppet and Sesame Street fans, but make sure you don't get the DVD or VHS version!

I just wish they'd re-release this on DVD. Can only find originals and copies on ebay for over $45. My copy on VHS is good but you just don't get the clarity that you see on DVD. I love the fact that Muppets meet the Sesame Street gang. Have watched this every season since my kids were toddlers and that was over 20 years ago. How does the public change the marketing of movies. Or is this a Jim Henson glitch? Wish I could find out. Just not ready to spend the big bucks on ebay. The story line is a blizzard on Fozzie's farm and Miss Piggy is on her way to the festivities. It's just comical to see the "cook" see the size of Big Bird and think "how do I roast That". Just an all round great holiday film.

That's what I loved about Muppet productions when Jim Henson was alive. Sesame Street muppets appearing as guests on The Muppet Show and in the three Muppet movies made between 1979 and 1984, occasional references to Muppet Show characters on Sesame Street (such as a photo of Miss Piggy in a Western Saloon sketch, and in "Monster Piece Theatre"). Even poor old Kermit seems to be forever trying to keep both Muppet Show AND Sesame Street characters under control in both shows.This Christmas special is amazing. Animal is impressed with Cookie Monster's similar antics (commenting, "That's my kinda guy!"), The classic scene with the Swedish chef trying to cook Big Bird, etc. I don't think things were ever the same after Jim Henson passed away.
