Though you’ll find barely a glimpse of familiar Muppets in this movie, the Muppet talent is clearly visible. Dave Goelz (Gonzo)’s performance as Rugby is adorable, and Steve Whitmire (Rizzo the Rat) as Mew the Cat Toy is adorable.The Christmas Toy’s plot is a bit like Toy Story’s — old favorite toy discovers it’s Christmas and is horrified to find that there’s a new toy — who doesn’t believe she’s a toy — under the tree. There are also elements of Teddy Bear Picnic in it — if any toy is seen “out of place” by a human, they’re frozen forever!This is a good one to have not just because it’s a cute story by the Muppets — but because it’s *new*. It’s not the same old Christmas special you’ve been watching for 20 years. Give it a shot! -

I love this movie. It was on tv one day a long time ago and i taped it from like the middle. So anytime i go to watch it, it’s not from the beginning. Now, i see all these reviews for this movie that have 5 stars…so why isn’t there a DVD version of this movie?! Someone needs to get on that! This is a great movie, if you haven’t seen it i suggest you buy the vhs (and then hope for a dvd version!) -

After spending an afternoon watching the other Muppet Christmas specials on DVD, I found myself staring at my DVD shelf, seeing a gap where this classic special really should reside. As a child, I fell in love with this special immediately, and whenever they would air it, I’d still feel the same tugs on my heartstrings.This is one of those Christmas specials that should NEVER be forgotten. Whoever owns the rights to this one now — whether it’s still the Jim Henson company or whether Disney got the rights when they bought the Muppets, take a look at the reviews we’ve got here. There’s an audience! For Christmas of 2007, give us back “The Christmas Toy” on DVD!

How sad is this…? My sister and I, who are 27 and 30 respectively, think this is the most fun Christmas movie to watch together around the holidays! When our mother taped it off the TV (and we still have that…and every single commercial is for some kind of margarine, which they don’t do anymore [that is, run only one product's commercials during a program]) we watched it over a few Christmases and then forgot about it. In high school we rediscovered the tape and thought the story was really stupid and childish…but then, despite ridiculing the idiocy of the stinking mouse “Mew” and the wide-eyed vacuousness of “Apple” the doll (maybe Gwynnie Paltrow liked this movie too and named her poor daughter after that character…?), we ended up watching it every Christmas since. And of course the busty Meteora, who is as close to a villain as this show has, is particularly worthwhile, with her outrageous “outer space” breastplate and diva-esque song. In truth the songs are memorable, like “Old Friends, New Friends” and of course, as it’s a Muppet production, one would be hard pressed to find even the most jaded Gen-X’er who wouldn’t smile at the antics of Jim Henson’s creations. Merry Christmas! -

I am so glad I found this movie on amazon! My sister and I had it taped off of tv when we were little and watched it every Christmas about 50 times!! I am now 26 years old and my sister is 22, and nobody I talk to ever knows what I am talking about when I tell them about this movie! It never comes on anymore at Christmas (nor does Mickey’s Christmas Carol, another great one!) and they all seem to think I imagined this movie!!! How great to finally prove them all wrong!
