Invite The Muppets to Your Home For All Of Your 2011 Christmas Parties
When planning a holiday party it is important to invite a few celebrity guests. Preferably guests who can warble a song, bust a move on the dance floor, generate laughter with a joke or humorous story, the sort of guests able to entertain across the generations. The perfect guests are readily available via DVD and/or download and/or whatever wondrous technology is in play at the end of 2011 the start of 2012.
Liven up your Yule Tide Happening with A Muppet Family Christmas . This 1987 television special features that gaggle of giggle inducers The Muppets whose collective identity has helped America weather the Collapse of Soviet Russia and the end of the Cold War, The Reagan Years, the Clinton Years, Bush One and Two, assorted wars and catastrophes, economic upswings and downturns, malaise and mayhem, etc and etc.
Clocking in at 42 minutes A Muppet Family Christmas is perfect for an era of multiple sized screens and variations of TV/DVD/etc, you can set it and forget it with confidence that the film will leave unforgettable memories. A Muppet Family Christmas is a musical review with an easy to follow storyline. It is great for that digital wall spanning the passageway between two party rooms, a conversation stirrer that can stop people in their tracks when their favorite ‘track’ plays out on the screen.
Kermit the Frog is a lean green entertainment machine honoring a legacy of emcee style comics: Jerry Seinfield, Johnny Carson, Jack Paar, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, George Burns, George Jessel, Harry Rubin, and Oscar Wilde. However the star is Fozzie Bear who upsets his mother’s vacation plans by dropping in unexpectedly (spoiler alert: this film was made in an era when not everyone had a cellular phone/droid/clone/whatever).
Muppets erupt from four major Muppet franchises so there is someone for everyone who has their favorite character(s), to quote Internet Movie Date Base “This is the first known Muppet production to feature Muppets associated with all four of the major Muppet franchises-The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock and Muppet Babies (as puppets here).”
A Muppet Family Christmas is great for impromptu and planned party games ranging from ‘Wild Idol’ auditions, to Glee style sing offs, all sorts of fun for a Wonderful Christmas Year. A final note a quote from Amazon “Fozzie's childhood farmhouse on Christmas Eve becomes the backdrop for a medley of holiday tunes--eight in all--ranging from the Muppet band's rousing Jingle Bell Rock to Big Bird's sweet rendition of The Christmas Song., -------the show's finale, which includes Kermit and Piggy under the mistletoe and a cameo appearance by Jim Henson, proves that nothing can dim the Muppets' appeal. --Lynn Gibson.”
