Viewing Notes

Delightful Jim Henson production featuring Kermit and a large group of sentient toys on Christmas Eve. I’m sure this wasn’t the first movie featuring talking toys that clam up when the humans are around but The Toy Story films really lifted from this movie in a few ways. Despite the toys being dated (even for their time) this is still a sweet Christmas tale with a nice message. Love Queen Meteora!
