Doug N. @dis_doug 19h A Muppet-fied musical retelling of the classic Christmas novel by Charles Dickens is a surprisingly heartwarming, and funny take on the well-known story. It maintains the charm, humor, and witty banters of the muppets. This is especially true between the Great Gonzo; who plays Charles Dickens, and Rizzo The Rat. They both act as the narrators of the film. It manages to not over do the muppet’s style of humor to distract from the dramatic and haunting core elements of the story. This musical features some great and memorable numbers with original songs by Paul Williams. These include the opening number introducing the main character titled “Scrooge”, Kermit the frog’s charming song called, “One More Sleep Til Christmas”, and the uplifting song “Thankful Heart” sung by the main character played by Michael Caine. He does a great job giving a nuanced performance as Ebenezer Scrooge. The Muppet Christmas Carol is a very well made retelling that keeps the right dose of the Muppet’s signature style humor, while not over shadowing the heart and dramatic moments of the classic tale by Charles Dickens.

Michael Caine does a masterful job of being Scrooge and the humor in the movie adds to the emotional range. See more Adam N Nov 29 This remarkable work of cinema is easily the best adaptation of the classic Dickens tale. It's humorous yet heartfelt, has an excellent soundtrack, and is surprisingly faithful to the source material. Michael Caine is perfectly cast as Ebenezer Scrooge, and his decision to treat the Muppets as fellow actors was an absolutely brilliant move. The Muppets prove their greatness yet again in this expertly-crafted delightful film for the whole family.

Michael Caine Is PERFECT As Scrooge, And The Muppets Never Cease To Make Us Smile. It's Not The Greatest Christmas Movie Ever Made, But It's Still A Classic. B+ 7.8-8/10 A Great Watch For Everyone See more Kim P Nov 22 The best Christmas Carol. The songs are fun, the story true to the source material, and the Muppets elevate the humor we didn't know was hiding there all along. What really makes this work is Michael Caine's decision to play his character straight. Top notch and holds up perfectly.
