This was a ton of fun. I just hope the studio executives realize that kids like to see specials of the puppet versions of the characters, and not just these animated specials they've been doing for a couple years.

Saw it. Kinda gives me a craving to watch the nutcracker special with Lamb Chop though for some reason.
