The Christmas Toy is a 1986 made-for-TV movie by The Jim Henson Company. Produced in Toronto with much of the Fraggle Rock cast and crew and with songs by Sesame Street veteran Jeff Moss, it originally aired on ABC on December 6, 1986, and was sponsored by Kraft Foods. Originally introduced by Kermit The Frog, it was released on VHS format in 1993. In 2008 it was released on DVD. However, Kermit's appearance was edited out due to legal issues. It was shown occasionally on The Hub before that network's re-branding.The story follows the idea that toys love to play so much that they will do it even when their owners aren't around. But if any person catches a toy out of position, that toy will become permanently inanimate — "frozen forever" in toy lingo — so they have to be very careful.It's Christmas Eve, and Rugby Tiger — last year's Christmas Toy — thinks he's going to go under the tree to be unwrapped again. Apple the Doll, whom Rugby supplanted as favorite toy, tries to set him straight, but Rugby won't believe her and sets out on the dangerous expedition to the living room. Unfortunately for him, opening "his" box releases the current Christmas Toy: Meteora, Queen of the Asteroids. She's a warrior princess who doesn't know she's a toy and thinks she's landed among aliens. (Does this sound familiar?) It's up to the other toys to get Rugby out of the box — and Meteora back in it — and everyone back to the safety of the playroom without getting caught out of place.Eight years later, the special was recycled as The Secret Life Of Toys. It lasted 13 episodes (with a Two Shorts format). It changed the setting to a UK child's playroom and notably replaced most of the supporting characters with new ones, with only Rugby, Mew note Mew was redesigned for the series., Ditz, Balthasar, Bleep, Cruiser, and Ding-a-Ling note Ding-a-Ling was relegated to a silent background role in the series returning from The Christmas Toy.note Instead of Apple, Rugby was mild frenemies with a much simpler looking doll named Raisin, for instance, and the male scooter horse Belmont was replaced by a female rocking horse named Hortense.Followed by A Muppet Family Christmas in 1987 (which reused the song "Together at Christmas"), with The Christmas Toy being included as a bonus feature on its 2003 home video release. | |

Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: The toys are animate whenever their humans aren't around. But if a human sees them moving, or catches them out of position, they lose their magic and become "frozen forever." | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| The Christmas Toy / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Ditz takes his Played for Laughs stupidity to invoke the trope in its most literal sense (or as literal as it can be for the toys). Then all the toys are mourning him and it kind of stops being funny (don't worry, he's brought back to life near the end). | |

It's All About Me: Rugby sings a song about how awesome he is, which he reprises no less than twice. | |

Jealous Romantic Witness | |
| The Christmas Toy / int_bc97f0c6 | comment |
Jealous Romantic Witness: Apple is a platonic version — she thought she was Jaime's special toy until she witnessed Rugby's arrival the next Christmas. At the end of the film, Jaime tells Meteora she loves her forever and ever in the presence of both Apple and Rugby, "just like I love all my toys." | |

Irony | |
| The Christmas Toy / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Rugby (a toy feline) can't stand Mew (a toy for felines). They have to go through toy hell together before finally becoming friends. | |

It Runs in the Family | |
| The Christmas Toy / int_c63e5338 | comment |
It Runs in the Family: This was the first time Jim's son Brian Henson (Cruiser) performed a Muppet character of his own. He'd later go on to direct The Muppet Christmas Carol, considered by many to be the Muppets' seminal Yuletide production. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| The Christmas Toy / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Toys caught out of place are "frozen forever" and consigned to a 'graveyard' in the corner of the playroom. Even though frozen toys are never called dead, they're treated as such until The Power of Love revives them. | |
