- Synopsis:
- This is the season for love, laughter, and one of the most cherished stories of all time! Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and all the hilarious Muppets in this merry, magical version of Charles Dickens' classic tale. Academy Award winner Michael Caine gives a performance that's anything but "Bah humbug" as greedy, penny-pinching Ebeneezer Scrooge. One fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Together with kind, humble Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and his family, the Spirits open Scrooge's eyes - and his heart - to the true meaning of Christmas.

The Best Muppet Movie - The Muppet Christmas Carol review by GI
Absolutely brilliant laugh with Michael Caine as Scrooge, playing it dead straight (and a little too angry perhaps?) which works well with all the muppet craziness going on around. The story follows the Dickens novel remarkably closely considering this is the zaniest adaptation of all time! Yet this remains a great Christmas family film although those of a certain age who still 'get' the Muppets and remember them so fondly will be forever impressed I'm wondering whether today's youngsters will buy in as much as we did, after all today they have a diet of digitally enhanced films that may make this look a bit dated. Either way if you loved this back in the day you'll still love it, the songs are great, the jokes are hilarious and Dickens' Christmas message gets through too.
