Before Toy Story made it cool, Jim Henson was already out here proving that toys absolutely do things the second humans leave the room.

This clip comes from The Christmas Toy, a 1986 Jim Henson holiday special where the toys in young Jamie Jones’ bedroom spring to life on Christmas Eve. They sing, they dance, they argue, they show off their outfits, and they philosophize about the very important business of being toys.

At the center is Rugby the Tiger (performed by Dave Goelz), who’s determined to stay the favorite toy as Christmas morning approaches.

The perfect clip to bring back holiday nostalgia for anyone who ever suspected their toys were watching them leave the room.
