Reviews

blumdeluxe "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is another adaption of a classic novel by the Muppet show, displaying the famous play by Charles Dickens this time. It tells the story of an old man who is greedy and hated by almost everyone around him. When three ghosts appear and show him the reality of past, present and future, he soon begins to rethink his believes.The producers did create a cute and heart-warming movie here. While it is not utterly creative to start another adaption of the Dickens novel and nobody would've really missed it, it still includes a lot of intelligent humor that makes the time fly by and enough fluffy puppets to get the audience emotionally involved. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the singing parts, but on the other hand those belong to all of the older Disney movies as well and therefor will add a touch of nostalgia for all the Disney fans out there.All in all this is great for people with children or fans of the Muppets. For anyone else it still has its entertainment value but it won't have the same impact.

Mihai Toma Ebenezer Scrooge, an awful, greedy and unpleasant man is told by his two ex-associates that he will be visited by three spirits who will teach him what he has caused, how he's seen by others and what can happen if he doesn't change his attitude. This encounters will change Ebenezer's life forever, together of course with his bad thoughts about Christmas. A classic Charles Dickens story told by and with the Muppets.It's a different approach to it, a bit more funny, a bit more entertaining, a bit more happy! I really enjoyed how it was presented and especially it's musical moments. My only complaint though is that it should have been treated a bit more seriously considering the fact that in its essence, it tries to send a message about people, about their life, about Christmas! A great movie nevertheless!

NateWatchesCoolMovies Ahh the Muppet Christmas Carol. The decision to take in Michael Caine's disciplined, down to earth doctrine in his approach to acting and toss it in with the lovably loopy, varied psychedelic muskrats we know as the muppets is a stroke off juxtaposed genius that make for quite the charming outing. Caine makes a slight Scrooge, relieving us by never being totally committed to the initial nastiness that hallmarks the character, and being especially upbeat when it comes time for the old codger to make his legendary mood swing and dive into the spirit of Christmas. I've only seen Caine in a single film where he played an outright son of a bitch, and it's downright jarring. He's such a pleasant fellow, and makes the perfect companion to the critters that populate the show. Highlights for me: the talking vegetable that audibly protests upon being poached from a local muppet market, and Caine's delightful original solo 'Thankful Heart.'

SnoopyStyle The Muppets tell their version of the classic Charles Dickens tale of A Christmas Carol. Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine) is the miserly boss of Bob Cratchit (Kermit). He is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Gonzo narrates as Charles Dickens and Miss Piggy plays Mrs. Cratchit.This is more of a traditional retelling with the Victorian setting. It has a few jokes mostly from Gonzo and Rizzo. The songs aren't particularly catchy. I would prefer more from Muppets like Fozzi Bear. In general, I'm looking for something much more different from the Muppets with this traditional fare. It needs to be more kids friendly. This is fine for A Christmas Carol but it doesn't have the fun of the Muppets.
