Product Description

Brian Henson directs his late father's creations in the Charles Dickens classic, the best known (and most oft-filmed) Christmas story of all time. Michael Caine plays the old miser Scrooge with Kermit as his long-suffering but ever-hopeful employee Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Cratchit's wife, and a host of Muppets (including the Great Gonzo as an unlikely Charles Dickens) taking other primary roles in this bright, playful adaptation of the somber tale. Or at least it starts brightly enough--the anarchic humor soon settles into mirthful memories and a sense of melancholy as the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future take Scrooge on a journey of his lonely, wasted life. Michael Caine makes a wonderful Scrooge, delightfully rediscovering the meaning of life as fantastic creations from Henson's Creature Shop (developed specially for this film) take the reins as the three ghosts. While the odd mix of offbeat humor and somber drama undercuts the power of Dickens's drama, this kid-friendly retelling makes an excellent family drama that adults and children alike can enjoy. --Sean Axmaker

MUST see movie of the Season

My all-time favorite Christmas movie. It's my favorite version of the Christmas Carol--forget "live" actors. And the Scrooge in this one is the best of any I've seen.

Amazing Blast from the Past!

This was an amazing blast from the past that brings you right back to your childhood. From the two old grumpy guys from the balcony to Rizzo the Rat; there are classic and well-beloved characters that bring you back to your childhood and share the wonderful classic of The Christmas Carol. The opening menu is quite funny, and several of my friends and I spent quite a bit of time just watching Kermits antics there. The children of Miss Piggy and Kermit are cute, humorous and everything they ought to have been. We follow Gonzo and Rizzo as they take us through the classic tale and show us the meaning of MERRY CHRISTMAS! With hilarious scenes from Kermit ice-skating to Miss Piggy taking on Scrooge in a battle of words, this timeless tale is a must-buy and a wonderful keepsake for the generations to come. A grand example of a G-rated movie with cleverness and excellent production value!

Best Christmas Carol out there

A bonnet movie for your children. And adults love it too. Very moving. Michael Caine is brilliant. Rizzo is great. Gonzo make a wonderful narrator. BEST Christmas Carol out there. All ages love it.

Muppet Christmas Carol DVD

One of the most entertaining performances of the Christmas Carol. Michael caine does an exceptional acting job and the muppets add an interesting and enjoyable twist to the story. A must for anyone who has a Christmas movie collection.
