Emmet Otter and his ma sure have had a rough life. Not just in Frogtown Hollow, but on disc: some dvd's have cropped widescreen, many releases have different runtimes (most common trim is Kermit's performance), the audio never sounds better than mediocre bitrate stereo (not even the 5.1 blu-ray), and the video quality shows that this Christmas favorite was shot on video (the blu-ray has upconverted 1080p but it still looks like the DVD releases).

All of which is to say that you won't find a complete version in any store, nor better-than-dvd image anywhere.

In comes Philfrog's wonderful fanedit. Multiple sources are seamlessly merged to create the best Jugband Christmas. Technically, this 2008 edit remains limited by the source material: dvd quality with average stereo sound. But no release since does it better.

Emmet will have you humming "Bar-B-Que" and "Brothers"!

I'm speechless. I stumbled on the trailer yesterday and nearly flipped. A few years ago I bought all the ingredients needed to do this same project, so I could show the whole thing to my daughter in all of it's glory. But I back-burnered it halfway through out of frustration working with the interlaced signal. Now, here it is, and better than I could have made it. You must have really worked hard on this. I'm so deeply grateful to you for doing this. And this winter, my daughter and all her friends will be too! Amazing. Well done.

PS - The trailer was awesome too!
