The Christmas Toy Movie (DVD, 2008)

Jim Henson was a genius. We had this movie when my kids were kids. When I remembered it much later I had to go looking for it. Great for the whole family. Very touching.

I bought The Christmas Toy movie for my granchildren. This was one of my kids favorite movies when they were little and it brought back so many memories for me to watch it with my grandson. It has a wonderful message and I recommend it for young kids, my grandson is 3. I was so happy to find it as some of the older movies you can't find in stores.

This was an excellent product and an excellent transaction!The movie was exactly what I was looking for at a great price. It was also shipped very quickly.

A fun Christmas movie for kids that I remember from my own childhood. Worth watching again! And not too long.

More than 15 years ago I recorded Jim Henson's "The Christmas Toy" off TV during one of it's very rare airings, and have been looking forward to a DVD release ever since. Now finally one has arrived and well worth the asking price!

This is a classic Christmas tale with all the Muppet warmth and humor from the Henson era, however the original opening and closing (with Kermit the Frog as a make-shift Santa) has been excised from this version, with the only visible remnant being soot and ash falling from the chimney in the opening seconds in the toy room (which is how Kermit makes his exit in the original by climbing up the Chimney ala St. Nick himself).

Why is Kermit gone, you may ask? The reason is simple; this is not a Disney DVD release and as Disney owns the most famous Muppet characters, including Kermit, the copyright laws have sent our little green friend packing in this version, which is a shame, however with only that one regret the remainder of the story (totally unaffected by the absence of Kermit who only offered a self-evident opening monologue) is complete, very well done and truly a great video and absolutely worth owning!

It is a fun Christmas story that my 2 year old watches non-stop. This was my wife's favorite Christmas movie growing up.

It was shipped quickly, too!

Thank you. arrival timing was great . thank you for sending out so quickly. i think having a minimum number of characters is absolutely stupid. you should not make people write an entire essay just to say thak you. this section should be optional

Bought it as a Christmas gift. It has been asked for for quite some time. Supposed to be a great movie about Christmas for children of all ages.

THIS MOVIE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE'VE WATCHED IT SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT AND ALL OUR VHS TAPES WORE OUT.
MY 6 YR.OLD GRAND DAUGHTER WAS INTRODUCED TO IT LAST YR. SHE LOVED IT!!!
IT'S A GREAT CHRISTMAS MOVIE FOR ALL AGES!!!
I THINK ONE OF JIM HENSON'S BEST BEFORE HE DIED!!!!

This is a Jim Henson Classic that brought me back to a my Christmas' of childhood. I'm just glad for the opportunity to share them with my Daughter. She's two and absolutely loves the movie.
