    probably the most fun version of a Christmas carol ever made. great humor, wonderful usage of all characters except the ghost of Christmas past, and a very faithful retelling of the book. where the film diverted from the book the filmmakers made creative and worthy choices. mi...( read more)chael caine is forced to compete on screen with a bunch of muppets, and absolutely shines as one of the best scrooge performances of all time. while many scrooges are formulaic and stale as they simply recite familiar lines, caine was fresh and emotional and effectively evil as scrooge, while making his redemption very believable. excellent version of the great classic.

    One of the most brilliant adaptations of Dickens' classic. The inclusion of the Muppets adds to the heartwarming feel of the film. There's something about Beaker's offering of a red scarf to Scrooge, that has more of an emotional impact than any human could hope to achieve. The f...( read more)ilm also does a wonderful job at subduing the episodic nature of the story, by using Gonzo's narration and a selection of wonderful songs to bridge the gaps. At the front of all this greatness though is Michael Caine who gives an unbelievable performance. His Scrooge is one of great cruelty, but one with an edge of charm that we can relate to. This makes his gradual transformation into the Christmas loving bloke, all the more believable. His delivery of every line is memorable as are the relationships he builds with the 3 spirits. The Muppets are also well cast, this may sound daft, but it would have been so easy to slip pre-existing Muppets into the roles of the 3 spirits. Instead we get 3 new and very suitable creations. This was a childhood favourite that I will never grow out of.

    I?m glad the Muppets didn?t die when Jim Henson did. His son did a good job here but it?s not quite the same! I still love the Muppets though!

    Ahhh the best Muppet flick, truely cozy, warming, fun, loving, funny and great songs. The whole idea is such a winner, I love Gonzo and Rizzo telling the story, they really are funny. What better way to spend a cold snowy night in.

    very promising from the start but drooped off into mediocrity by the middle and stayed there. best part was the first 10 minutes. then just turn the TV off!

    It's pretty much like any other Christmas Carol remake, but it's full of cute puppets and music. I enjoyed the movie.

    The Muppets Xmas Carol is probably the best and funniest film, it stars your favourite characters from the muppets. I once had a video of this i'm not sure where it is.
