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
'Tis 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(R) winner Michael Caine (Best Supporting Actor, 2000, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES; 1987, HANNAH AND HER SISTERS) gives a performance that's anything but "bah, humbug!" as greedy, penny-pinching Ebenezer 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. Filled with original music and dazzling special effects, this restored and remastered 50th Anniversary Edition of THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL will become a holiday tradition your family will treasure all the days of the year.~~(C) The Muppets Holding Company, LLC and BVHE.

"Love Muppets, but this version is not right"
Written By: Katherine Schlund
I love this movie, but when I watched it, there was a very important scene edited out of this version and I am very upset. I would return it if I could and get another version. The scene that is missing is a musical number when Scrooge and his girlfriend part ways during the Ghost of Christmas Past's visit.
"Best version of the classic"
Written By: Robin Tracy
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"
Written By: Lynn L. Severance
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!"

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.
"They cut When Love is Gone on DVD"
Written By: M. Beckman
I own the VHS version of The Muppet Christmas Carol and have been thinking about upgrading to the DVD version, since VCRs are going the way of the 8-track tape. I've discovered from these reviews that for some unexplained reason, the DVD is missing a song, a key plot point that turns Scrooge scroogey (when his girlfriend dumps him for being, well, a scrooge). I will buy another VCR before I buy this DVD.
