Hosted by: The Cinefamily
It’s two times the oddball holiday fun on Christmas Day in Los Angeles, thanks to two spectacular programs hosted by the Cinefamily. Just to be clear, these are two separate programs that require two separate ticket purchases. But, oh what fun you and the family will have!
First up, at 4:00 p.m., for children and the child-like, it’s a screening of the beloved Muppet holiday treat Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas. An adaptation of the children’s book by Russell and Lillian Hoban, this old-fashioned Christmas tale originally aired on HBO in 1977.
This was one of Jim Henson’s most elaborately-produced Muppet productions, featuring the typically hand-controlled-from-underneath puppets, marionettes, and even radio controlled critters — all on large, extremely detailed sets.
