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

 Perfect combination of heartwarming and humorous! January 7, 2009
Lauren Blake (Springdale, AR)
This is our favorite version of The Christmas Carol. We love the Muppets' charming twist on the classic. Gonzo is a perfect narrator (accompanied by Rizzo the rat), Kermit and Miss Piggy are a great fit as the Crachits, and Michael Caine is a perfectly nasty Scrooge. The songs are fun and catchy, and the message of the original comes through plainly. Treat yourself to this fun rendition!
Best version of the classic January 7, 2009
Robin Tracy (Utah)
My partner & I have been watching this annually since the year it came out in theaters. We love the songs and the muppets bring sparkle & life to the classic tale.
Classic Film January 7, 2009
Lynn L. Severance (Lynnwood, WA)
I've had this film on video for years and have now updated it to a DVD. It is a classic telling of the Christmas Carol and absolutely delightful. A must for all Muppet fans and will make a a believer out of anyone who is not.
Worth Buying! January 6, 2009

The Muppet Christmas Carol
We bought this movie at my daughter's insistence. She remembered it from when she was young. It has now become a Christmas tradition in our home. The price was better that most retail stores and it isn't available in video stores in my area.
