Christmas Toy - Part 1

This is Part 1 of the 1986 Muppets/Jim Henson Christmas special "The Christmas Toy."

This is a rare Muppets special that originally aired on December 6, 1986, and was not seen again on television until sometime in the mid-90s (I think Nickelodeon aired it in 1996). It had one video release in 1998 and an edited DVD release in 2008 (Kermit the Frog's intro is edited). It is about Rugby the Tiger's determination to be the favorite Christmas Toy of his owner, upon finding out that he will be replaced by a new favorite toy.

This is the complete special as it originally aired - it was originally sponsored by Kraft Foods, and during the broadcast, in lieu of commercials, there were different segments featuring recipes made with (what else?) Kraft products.

All copyrights are property of its current owners, and no infringement is intended!

Please enjoy this special - it is very hard to find in its original form from its original airing. Comments are welcome and appreciated! Thank you!!!!!

@JainaMac10 - I saw it was on Netflix as well, but it is the Lions Gate DVD print, and yes, it is edited. It is indeed very hard to find the uncut version. I copied it to DVD several years ago, as I was worried that the tape might not last. You are very welcome, and Merry Christmas to you!

Please Subtitles in Spanish!

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

@Ninaparapluie - Lo siento.  I don't speak much Spanish, at least, not enough to effectively subtitle this.

@StefanoFan27 It is on DVD, except it is edited so the Kermit intro is removed. If Disney is smart, they will put out the REAL version of this on DVD (it was released by a different company after Disney acquired the Muppets). And yes, Kermit is adorable in the Santa suit!

@TrishTheNerd It's okay. Disney released a new Muppet movie last November, written by Jason Segel of "How I Met Your Mother" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" fame. It's already the best reviewed movie of 2011, received a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and opened at #2 at the box office, only behind "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1". Jason is a huge Muppet fan, and has made the film as old-school as possible.

@FragglevisionReturns What? noooooooooo :( How could they.. PS I love Fraggle!

[FragglevisionReturns]

@TrishTheNerd Because Disney owns Kermit now.

[TrishTheNerd]
