 Emmet Otter fans, you owe it to yourself to see this! October 23, 2005

I admire the fact that Many Emmet Otter fans dont want to buy this DVD because of the fact that, once again, money comes before art, due to the fact that the Kermit scenes are cut from this version.
I agree. Kermit should be in here, and money shouldnt be an issue...the loyal fans should be the top consideration.
Having said that, i want All Emmet Otter fans to know that they MUST watch this DVD. If you dont want to buy it, then please atleast rent it. The behind the scenes documentary is fabulous, and it's almost as good as the actual show itself!
You get to see interviews with the actual people that "puppeted" or in this case "Muppeted" Emmet and some of the other characters.
You get to see behind the scenes footage of the people on the set doing their work.
Jim Henson's daughter is one of the primary interviewees, detailing her father's special devotion to the Emmet Otter story and to making it come alive in this special.
You get to see and hear from the people who made the actual Puppets/Muppets, and you also get to see how they got Emmet to row the boat on the River that flows through Frogtown Hollow.
You get to hear an exclusive excerpt of a song that was going to be used in the special, but which was later deleted and never used.
Also there are funny "Bloopers", a "sing-along", clips of the musical segments of the show, and of course the behind the scenes documentary.
Emmet Fans, trust me, a fellow Emmet fan, you owe it to yourself to see that documentary. It gives you a new appreciation for all of the work that it took to make Emmet come alive. You will love the documentary, plus it's pretty long, and is full of info, interviews, never before seen footage, clips from the show, etc
Dont rob yourself of the chance to see this great documentary.
If you do, the money seekers who edited Kermit out of this will win, because they get their money and you miss out on enjoying the documentary.
Please, watch the documentary.
All Emmet Otter fans owe it to themselves to see it.
I thought of you all when i watched the DVD, and I felt sad that you didnt see the documentary.
It is nearly as good as the Emmet show itself.
Please, watch it, and have fun.
This DVD enriches the Emmet Otter experience.
By all means, watch the version on DVD with Kermit still in it, but please get this DVD version for the bonus features.
For the bonuses alone, it is worth it.
Long live Emmet Otter!
We want a sequel!
The best! October 8, 2006

It's a great video that brings back memories from when I was a kid. Regardless of edits, the premise and content are still intact. Enjoy!

I can not express how much I love this special. It has always been in my heart and memories ever since my first viewing years ago on HBO. There has been some disppointed people with this product, but personally I find it to be more polished. Kermit the Frog was not a part of the original release of this classic. Kermit was added later on to make it more family friendly due to the familiarity of Kermit. Granted I do not remember this special without Kermit as a child, however the extras on this version are priceless and make up for it. Kermit really didn't do anything more than narrate so he wasn't really all that important to the story. The story is just amazingly charming. Now if you wanna spend some 65 dollars on the version with Kermit, be my guest, however for 10 dollars this is practically free in my opinion. I am now going on my second copy of this dvd.
Emmet Otter Review January 12, 2007

Although this movie may be "low-tech" by today's standards-it is so adorable. I remember watching it as a child and now my daughters love it as much as I did. My parents still love it to! The out-takes have been added in since it came out on DVD, very funny. Muppet Bloopers! (Even the "bad guys" are likeable!) The message in the story is timeless and this movie is great for "children of all ages!"
