There were some differences, escpecially in the Muppets movie, but overall the lesson still shown through. I think it’s a great story that teaches us how to really be grateful and love the people around us. The first movie we watched was the 1984 version of George C. Scott.

I remember from a time when I was about two or three years old, I was situated in a high chair about six feet away from the television screen, shoving cereal bits into my mouth, one by one. My favorite movie, Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas was playing. I was mesmerized by every minute those goofy little puppets were on screen.
