Unedited Version Being Played at Theatre.


If you live in Austin, Texas you can be one of the lucky people to see the full unedited version of this movie in a theatre.

I quote from the website:

"WITH LIVE JUG-BAND PLAYING BEFORE THE FILM!

Christmas is approaching in Frogtown Hollow, and Emmet Otter and his Ma hope to buy gifts for each other. Unfortunately, Emmet doesn't make enough from the odd jobs he does, and Ma doesn't make enough as a laundress. They decide to compete in the Frog Town Hollow Talent Contest in order to win money, but Ma will have to hock Emmet's tool chest to buy a costume, and Emmet will have to put a hole in Ma's washtub for his band! Kermit the Frog hosts this classic Muppet musical Christmas tale, based on the book by Russell and Lillian Hoban, with original songs from master tunesmith Paul Williams.

There are two versions of EMMETT OTTER: The original HBO Broadcast and the DVD/Home Video version. BOTH versions were missing footage that appeared in the other version. So thanks to the Henson Legacy we were able to get our hands on the complete, uncut, ultimate EMMETT OTTER JUG BAND CHRISTMAS, which contains all footage from both pre-existing versions, and has only screened once before, at the Museum of TV and Radio in NYC."
