Genre: Family

Starring:  Jerry Nelson, Frank Oz, Marilyn Sokol. Directed by Jim Henson.

Description: Emmet Otter and his Ma are dirt-poor, but very happy and good singers. But as Christmas is around the corner, both of them want to get something special for each other. And the talent show prize is $50! So, Ma gets a song ready, and Emmet forms a jug-band with his friends. But the Riverbottom Gang, a bunch of rich kids with killer electric band equipment are going to be tough competition.

Our Christmas Tradition, August 15, 2005 I've loved Emmet Otter since I was little, and now this video has become a Christmas tradition for my family. I do miss Ma telling Mrs. Fox to fall off the dock, and I don't care for how they show more acts at the talent contest. But most everything I really love about this movie is still here. The songs are so catchy and fun, and we have them all memorized. The characters' voices are so gentle (aside from the Riverbottom Nightmare Band). But most importantly, the story teaches little ones about the true meaning of Christmas and giving. This movie definately isn't just for kids, and I highly recommend it. Couresty Amazon.com
