It’s the 14th of December. The egg nog is spiked, the Christmas tree is trimmed and Jim Henson’s 1977 holiday epic, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas, is streaming on Netflix. If you grew up in the 80s this really needs no further explanation. Here is the unsanctioned soundtrack. Welcome to Frogtown Hollow.
Emmett Otters Jug-Band Christmas is the greatest Christmas film (in my opinion) of all time. I grew up watching it every year as a kid, and just introduced it, this week, to my wife and son.
“Closer Now Than Ever Before” is such an amazing song. ..uh, heart wrenching..
This is the best Christmas present!
The Neutral Milk Hotel of puppets.
Wow. Thank you for doing this. I was thrilled to see this pop on Netflix, but you certainly went the extra mile – times 10. Christmas indeed.
Thank you for doing this & welcome stranger!
Did everyone else have to go through this MegaUpload page to download the files?
