The UNCUT version of Emmet Otter is available on DVD! This version contains Kermit's narration, Kermit's appearances, ALL songs and of course the infamous "fall off the dock" line! It's available for a VERY reasonable price to buyers located in the US! Send me a PM if you are interested.

This was used for a musical project for me, I love it! It even got me a few extra credit points!

[gabelogan997]

I have the original version of this on a high quality DVD. It contains every single scene and song as seen on TV as well as TWO appearances by Kermit and the "River Meets the Sea" song is peformed TWICE in my version. It's a lot of work to get it on the Internet. If you'd rather just have someone do all the work for you, send me a PM or an e-mail. dan611logan@yahoo.com

[8mmhomemoviechannel]

youtube pulled my video of the original airing featuring Kermit. I uploaded it to the- internet archive.org

When I was a little kid, if I didn't see this movie prior to Christmas Day...there was no Christmas!

[InZeeValley]

Gosh, so many memories of watching this with my brothers on HBO back in the day. Such a great program.

[marina300]

Rest in Peace, Jim. Your legacy will live forever. Thanks for the wonderful childhood memories.

[wwjdjs73]

Ah...so good to hear these great songs from Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas when I was young. This used to come on HBO in late 70's early 80's. I wanted to see it every time it was on. Never got old! So much fun! Thanks for sharing

[starwars789]

good times ..i was so young when i saw this. i agree with tbone2872 a great time ..i believed these guys where real when i was kid. i imagined they lived in my creek behind my house. i will say they dont make um like this anymore..this is when people had talent and it showed in the muppet show ,emmet odder etc i miss um

[TheShaneWorld18]

lol the great jim hensons muppets.....he almost reminds me of walt disney but not with cartoons with real moving figures....aka puppets....aka muppets

[leolibrizzi]

Oh man, that was awesome! Brings back alot of memories. I can't believe Lionsgate pulled the Riverbottom Nightmare Band performance. I've got a good mind to head on over to Pirate Bay and torrent the thing. Anyway, thanks for uploading this video. You made our day.

[FishRock77]

One of the best movies ever made.

[YaDigMe357]

@FishRock77 word still got the vhs recorded off hbo in the 80's .

[RevJim1313]

@SickestGreenEyez You've clearly never experienced the River Bottom Nightmare Band. If you had, you would understand...

[kilayla13]

[polobear1975]

DUDE!!!! this is AWESOME..I've been looking for the original from HBO forever (not the one that was on ABC w/ Kermit narrating it)...anyone kno where to find that?

[Austin101123]

this is sad. i watched this because i was looking for jug band music for my music project but these other people in there 40's are watching it because they are virgins and got nothin better to do. gosh, i got knocked up for the first time when i was 13 and have done it like 50 times since and im only 15 now

[MrBamaQ]

[Metaldog67]

[inherentrisk]

Please don't tell me this was 30 years ago. Thanks for posting!! Bless your spirit.

[CoolPoppa1]

I remember watching this when it first showed on HBO 30 years ago...now my son has the DVD and loves it...it's not the Christmas season without watching Emmett Otter at least twice

[AkireTigerpaw]

I NEED to get this dvd! It is a childhood memory I want to share with my daughters.

[tbone2872]

I remember the premier of this on HBO when I was 7 years old. My wife and I rented the DVD and watched it yesterday. I'm 37 now and it doesn't seem that long ago. I also remember when this came out cable had what, maybe 21 channels? What a great memory.

[ThrobZilla]

@tbone2872 Where did you rent it? I can't find this thing anywhere.

[TheManualForLife]

i will do my best to get it upload on my site tomorrow how long they let me keep it up is another story

[tbone2872]

I rented it at a local independent movie rental store but I saw Amazon has it for around 10 bucks. Merry Christmas.

[SWEETWILLKINGSTON]

@tbone2872 I totally remember that. We had the cable box with buttons on it if you pushed the button up it was one channel and down it was another. Analog beauty! I did buy this off ebay a few years ago, and it was playing in the dvd last night as we drove around looking at xmas lights

[tbone2872]

Those were the days!

[tbone2872]

Atari 2600's, Osbourne computers, and MTV that only played music videos. What a great time to be alive!

[xtcnafive0]

@tbone2872 I didn't have an Atari, I had Intelevision!

[TVTraX]

@tbone2872 MTV was not around at the time when this movie was released (1977)

[tbone2872]

@TVTraX Emmet Otter had several releases. It was originally a children's book written in 1971. Jim Hensen adapted the book to a Muppet special in originally in 1977. The most acclaimed premiere was in Dec. of 1981 on HBO in which Emmet Otter recieved an Emmy. It has also since been made into a live play produced by Hensons company . The Show ran on HBO until 1987. MTV first signed on in August 1981. Last time I checked 1981 falls within Emmet Otter's history. You really need a girlfried badly.

[tbone2872]

@TVTraX And by the way, this is a 45 minute muppet special not a movie.

My favorite Christmas Special back in the day.

Pavel Penguin

[TheCulpepperMilitia]

Love It. I saw the Chris Muti Band in Tarpon Springs Florida cover it perfectly with Scott Carbone on the wash tub bass. Paul Williams is a great song writer. Thanks for posting that.

[jugfish]

[JayBeckyMcGee]

One of me and my family's all time favorites! Emmit Otter's jug band Christmas is being released on Broadway very soon, so make sure to check it out Emmit fans!

[Girlmag132]

[kurizzos]

HBO at six years old. Damn, i feel old.

[deona22]

My brother and I use to watch this at my grandmothers house on the VCR.

[WhatsAYak]

Def one of the all-time best Christmas specials...recorded a copy off HBO back in the mid-80s when I was a kid and used to watch it all the time. :-)

[ludwig26]

Cant tell you how many times I've listened to this. true musical genius. Thank you

[wysestrom]

harvey's kazoo solo rocks my socks off everytime

[dunkinsguy]

My kids watched this over and over.

[hnek]

I miss this!

I want the whole thing. But the original whole thing, because my mom bought a copy again and they had taken out some lines....but mostly I want the music. Them singing the music.

[flixk]

"Look at the birds up in the trees."

[oiog]

Everytime somemone in my family is bossy we say "Gee, Mr.Big Time Conducter"or if I have difficultly with a problem I think "half of fifty cents..........".

[Linnette27]

This is dedicated to Thomas. Hugz to you~

[Benzy19]

Cool!

[Spoofsc]

I remember finding a DVD of this at price club a couple of years back. It was the best Christmas gift I have ever bought for myself. I remember watching this on a VHS recorded off of a friends TV. I watched that tape until it broke.

[anyuserx]

Jim Henson truly had a special gift.

[RichART1]

Only thing more wholesome than this is The Hobbit (animated version)

[evitaperon88]

Love Emmet Otter!

The Porcupine is my favorite.

[thcdisc]

[fishers138]

OMG ths takes me back <3 It is all coming back........

[gdsdickens]

[alektorophobic]

It's from Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas, made by Jim Henson a long time ago.

[ghastlymess]

Bless your heart. Goddang hooligans from Riverbottom walking off with that 50 dollars...he was going to put a down payment on that piano!

Oh well. Looks like another sad day on the river.

[tomlmc]
