Ladies and gentlemen when Avengers: Endgame came out we all praised it as being one of if not the biggest crossover in popculture history. Well I think that i've found a crossover that's even bigger then that film because this crossover comes from several different companies whereas the characters from Avengers: Endgame come from two different companies and so join me as I review the christmas special that brought together several different franchises all together with the christmas special in question being called simply just "A Muppet Family Christmas" enjoy.
The plot of this special is Fozzie Bear and the rest of The Muppets go together to visit Fozzie's mum for christmas. That's really it in terms of plot and I have to be honest that's all you really need for a plot for a Muppets christmas special and now then in terms of what I thought / felt about the plot of this special in all honesty in honesty thought / felt that the plot of this special was cute and that's the best thing that I can say about the plot of this special in my opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this special is Gerry Parkes as Jerome "Doc" Crystal and Jim Henson as Himself , Rowlf The Dog , Dr. Teeth , The Swedish Chef , Waldorf , The Muppet Newsman , Ernie , Guy Smiley , Baby Kermit, and Baby Rowlf. Also starring in this special is Frank Oz as Miss Piggy , Fozzie Bear , Animal , Sam The Eagle , Bert , Grover , Cookie Monster , Baby Piggy , Baby Fozzie, and Baby Animal , Jerry Nelson as Robin The Frog , Emily Bear , Sgt. Floyd Pepper , Count Von Count , Camilla The Chicken , Herry Monster , Two-Headed Monster (Left Head) and Gobo Fraggle Richard Hunt as Scooter , Janice , Statler , Beaker, Kathleen The Cow , Tw, o-Headed Monster (Right Head) , Snowman and Baby Scooter , Dave Goelz as Gonzo The Great , Dr. Bunsen Honeydew , Zoot , Beauregard , Boober Fraggle , Traveling Matt, and Baby Gonzo , Steve Whitmire as Rizzo The Rat, Lips , Wembley Fraggle , Sprocket The Dog, and Christmas Turkey , Caroll Spinney as Big Bird and Oscar The Grouch , Kathryn Mullen as Mokey Fraggle , Karen Prell as Red Fraggle and Maureen The Mink and David Rudman as The Voice Of Miss Piggy's Photographer.
Now then in terms of / as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was really freaking good. Which shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody since all of the The Muppet performers are some really good actors and actresses and so it only makes since that those exact same actors and actresses would infact turn in some really freaking good performances in this very special in freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this special was actually a huge crossover event special as we had not only the characters from The Muppets but we also had characters from Sesame Street and the characters from Fraggle Rock all appearing in the same special and some cases alot of them even appeared in the same scene together. It's a wonder that they pulled of a crossover special like this one because Sesame Street isn't owned by Jim Henson Productions it's owned by Children's Workshop and so it's a miracle that they even got this special made with all of these characters in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I know what your all thinking and yes your right it is to soon to be doing a review of a Christmas special. However tho since The Muppets have only ever done one halloween special which i've already reviewed were just just going to have to make do and plus it's never to early to be doing a review of a Christmas special that's from The Muppets since The Muppets are just always loveable and cute in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
So now then I will very fully admit that this special is easily very much better then Muppets Haunted Mansion. Since at the very least this special at least tries to be good and even tho there some bad things in this special like the fact that every single Muppets franchise character knows to come to this house and the fact that Fozzies mum has clear plans to go away for Christmas which then get ruined thanks to Fozzie Bear and his friends showing up but those issues don't out way the good things that are in this special in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I will admit that for the most part I didn't really like the storyline with Miss Piggy since it seems out of character for her to schedule a photoshoot when she knows that she's going to friends house for Christmas. However tho at the same time that plotline was also rather sweet since we got to see Miss Piggy buying Kermit The Frog a Christmas present among many other things it's just a shame that the road we took to get to that point just seemed off and bumpy at best in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
So now then this special has / had a grand total running time of exactly forty seven minuets and twenty nine seconds. Which actually feels about the right amount of running time for this special since this special doesn't really have enough there in terms of either plot or story which might very well be the entire point of the special and as such this special really wouldn't make to anywhere even close to being an hour long without things starting to feel freaking stale and freaking repetitive in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this special is a Muppets production / special you just know that this special is going to be a comedy and so that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special and well in all honesty I in all honesty think / feel that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special is a bit on the weak side. This is because The Muppets characters work at there absolute best when things aren't going that well for them and are then forced to think on there feet but here everything is going The Muppets way and so The Muppets aren't at there best and thus the jokes / comedy just isn't as funny as it perhaps could or even should have been in this special in my opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this is a really good special and it's the perfect to watch if you want to get yourselves in the mood for the Christmas holidays it's just a shame then that due t the rights issues revolving around the other characters in this special that Disney cannot put this special up and on Disney+ or release this special on either DVD and / or Blu-Ray without getting into some legal issues in my freaking opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and that means that this special earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images frim this special being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
