What Parents Need to Know
About The Christmas Toy
Parents need to know that this plot of this movie might seem overly familiar, but the Muppet visuals have a special feel. It's probably not for kids 3 or younger, but the idea of toys that come alive will be irresistible to 4- and 5-year-olds. This is just what Santa ordered for grade-school kids. Younger preteens will appreciate the more satirical gags, but the older kids may find it too immature for their tastes. The story shows a toy, Rugby, having to come to terms with sharing his human with other toys. Families who watch this video may want to use it as an opportunity to engage children in a discussion of sibling rivalry and tolerance.
