Product Description
The muppet characters tell their version of the classic tale of an old bitter misers redemption on christmas eve. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 10/06/2006 Run time: 89 minutes Rating: G
Amazon.com
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

 They cut When Love is Gone on DVD January 1, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
 WHAT A GREAT MOVIE! THE MUPPETS ROCK! December 28, 2008
THIS CLASSIC IS A GREAT DVD FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES THE MUPPETS. IT WILL GET YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT IN NO TIME!
One of the Best December 27, 2008
Watching this movie is a Christmas Eve tradition in our home. The Muppets have taken a Christmas classic and turned it into an excellent movie for all ages. This is a must have for anyone who loves the story of The Christmas Carol.
The best Christmas Carol December 24, 2008
This is by far the best of the best of the Dicken's Christmas Carol productions. Michael Caine, one of the few human actors/actresses, does an award winning performance, while the muppet characters really add to the production especially to the lighter side. It is not the same old Christmas Carol performed many times down through the years, but light and airy at places and down right dramatic, tear jerking, and elevating at others. We have made this a family tradition for many many years. I had the VHS copy originally and then the DVD and finally got this one as a backup.(I loan the one copy out at times) I am not really sure it is a young childrens movie, there are some spots that might be scary to them and definitely areas that they would not understand (heavy drama) and probably boring. This is not one of your normal muppet movies.
May God bless and keep y'all,
Les
