'Tis the season for love, laughter, and one of the most cherished stories of all time! Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the hilarious Muppets in this merry, magical version of Charles Dickens' classic tale. Academy Award(R) winner Michael Caine (Best Supporting Actor, 2000, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES; 1987, HANNAH AND HER SISTERS) gives a performance that's anything but "bah, humbug!" as greedy, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge. One fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Together with kind, humble Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and his family, the Spirits open Scrooge's eyes -- and his heart -- to the true meaning of Christmas. Filled with original music and dazzling special effects, this restored and remastered 50th Anniversary Edition of THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL will become a holiday tradition your family will treasure all the days of the year.~~(C) The Muppets Holding Company, LLC and BVHE.

Love Muppets, but this version is not right
I love this movie, but when I watched it, there was a very important scene edited out of this version and I am very upset. I would return it if I could and get another version. The scene that is missing is a musical number when Scrooge and his girlfriend part ways during the Ghost of Christmas Past's visit.

Perfect combination of heartwarming and humorous!
This is our favorite version of The Christmas Carol. We love the Muppets' charming twist on the classic. Gonzo is a perfect narrator (accompanied by Rizzo the rat), Kermit and Miss Piggy are a great fit as the Crachits, and Michael Caine is a perfectly nasty Scrooge. The songs are fun and catchy, and the message of the original comes through plainly. Treat yourself to this fun rendition!

Best version of the classic
My partner & I have been watching this annually since the year it came out in theaters. We love the songs and the muppets bring sparkle & life to the classic tale.

Classic Film
I've had this film on video for years and have now updated it to a DVD. It is a classic telling of the Christmas Carol and absolutely delightful. A must for all Muppet fans and will make a a believer out of anyone who is not.

Worth Buying!
The Muppet Christmas Carol
We bought this movie at my daughter's insistence. She remembered it from when she was young. It has now become a Christmas tradition in our home. The price was better that most retail stores and it isn't available in video stores in my area.
