My friend bought me the Muppet Family Christmas DVD this Christmas, and naturally, I was ecstatic. I taped the special on Nickelodeon in 1995, but lost the tape when I moved to college. This special is quite possibly my favorite Muppet project, but upon watching the DVD, I found out that some of the very best parts of the film were COMPLETELY cut out! Entire musical numbers, including Fozzie and the snowman's rendition of "Come on it's lovely weather for a bear and a snowman like youuuuuuuu" and the muppet babies (as real foam muppets, FOAM I say!!!!!!!) on a home video were gone! Those were easily my two favorite parts of the movie!
I had been trying to tell my boyfriend for months how great that special was, and he was completely skeptical, and now I still can't show him. Not only were the parts that were cut GREAT scenes, but, in editing them, the plot doesn't make as much sense. Why would Fozzie show up with a snowman that hasn't been introduced yet? How did he meet such a snowman??? Questions like those go unanswered with this crude editing job. I really can't see how adding seven or eight minutes to a 45 minute long DVD with no special features could have cost the publishing company THAT MUCH that they had to splice the film.
Have they made another edition that I'm not aware of? Why would they commit this travesty? *yes, i am aware that this is a harsh word, and that i'm unnecessarily flipping out, i'm not really that angry, just an impassioned writer
