The Muppets take on Charles Dickens' classic tale "A Christmas Carol" with their own special twist of course. Starring Michael Caine as Ebeneezer Scrooge and the cast of the Muppets in various role, this is a fun take on the old story. It follows the Dickens story fairly faithfully and most of Scrooge's dialogue is straight on. The addition of Charles Dickens (Gonzo) as the narrator is funny.
It is a musical as Muppet movies usually are, though the songs are less memorable. I like particulary "It feels like Christmas," a jauntly little tune. The special effects are well done for 1992 and the Muppets are so great. Michael Caine makes an excellent Scrooge and I love Miss Piggy's Mrs. Cratchit.
I like this version of the story :)
