Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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 sombre tale. Or at least it starts brightly enough--the anarchic humour 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 humour and sombre 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

Rating: - Fantastic film- a great introduction to this classic tale
I always remember watching this every year as a kid- we taped it off tv three times and every copy get worn out! When i saw it as a BOGOF, i jumped at the chance and got it. I love all the characters and it gives this story a fresh feel. I loved how the muppets played each of the characters, and love Michael Caine as Scrooge, in my opinion, a fantastic choice. I also loced the extras which include a look at christmas around the world, which proved to be educational to an adult like me, and a making ... Read More

Rating: - Dickens would be proud
It's amazing how a green puppet with pingpong balls as eyes can always make me cry when I see this movie. The performance of Kermit's nephew as Tiny Tim is exactly that, a performance, a great piece of acting, made by a sock, as moving as anything you could think of. Lots of today actors should learn from Tiny Tim how to act. Or from Michael Caine. This, along with Sleuth and The man who would be king is his best performance ever. And The Great Gonzo as Dickens is surprisingly accurate. Rizzo the rat ... Read More

Rating: - Mr Ebenezer Scrooge
I think this video is great and with Mr Scrooge in it and with him shouting at Bob Cratchit.Tne Muppets seem a bit silly but I enjoyed seeing Scrooge turning from an evil man into someone who is kind to others.
I enjoyed seeing the young Scrooge when he goes to his Christmas party at the FuzzyWigs.
I have all the other Christmas Carols but Scrooge in this film is the most horrid to Cratchit and shouts at him.
I am hoping to order An American Christmas Carol but I can't get this on the ... Read More

Rating: - Hilarious Take on a Classic Tale
It's Christmas Eve, and Scrooge (Michael Caine) is busy counting money and evicting people who aren't paying their mortgages on time. He reluctantly lets Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and the rest of his staff have the day off. But that night, his old partners, then three more ghosts, visit him. Can they change his view of the world?

I really didn't know what to expect the first time I saw this movie. Would the Muppets play it mostly straight or would they ruin one of my favorite Christmas ... Read More
