Summary: 5 Stars
Admittedly, I am an adult. And I love fun and Christmas like just about everyone...but one of my secret indulgences is watching this
adorable version of ' A Christmas Carol' every year! Just call me a BIG KID who won't GROW UP all you want. I just love this one! You can have your Alister Sims or George C. Scott classic versions. Give me this one any day.
It's too sweet and adorable.
What makes this so much fun is the sheer creativity of having Rizzo the Rat and his Muppet buddy, "Charles Dickens" MC-the movie.
Their skits and sidekicks are just hilarious. But also--Michael Caine couldn't have been a better pick as Scrooge. And playing that
realistic human character against my favorite Muppets is just a perfect touch- blending a good story with delicious humor.
For the kid in everyone, I recommend this contemporary classic!
DVD Review: "when love is gone" good riddance
Summary: 5 Stars
I noticed a lot of people griping about how the one song featuring young strapping scrooge and his then "girlfriend" was cut. I have to admit, I'm a huge Muppet Christmas Carol fan, but that song was awful. The girl's voice was terrible and it was kind of an embarrassment to the movie. Back when all we had was the VHS version we always rolled our eyes and fast forwarded through that song. My family and I were pleasantly surprised when we saw that we didn't have to skip that part on our own, the DVD was cut. If you really want to see what you are missing, I'm sure you could look it up on youtube, and then it will be obvious why it was cut.DVD Review: Great family film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a family treasure. Watching this film is a family tradition that is eagerly awaited by the entire family. The whole evening is planned with great detail from dinner to the treats and where each of us will sit.
It teaches many great principles including: Love, Generosity, and caring for others.
DVD Review: A Muppets Christmas Carol - VHS - Great Movie! Absolutely love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hello I'm an autistic adult.
This is my review on A Muppets Christmas Carol - VHS.
I saw this movie when it first came out in the early to mid 1990's & decided to re - rent this movie from my local library for a week yeah they only give one week on movies but that's fine by me besides it's free. Anyway's it may be tad early to start watching christmas movies but I get bored easily & I love A christmas Carol (the book written by charles Dicken's) Anyway's I love the muppet version of A Christmas Carol as Kermit playing as Bob Cratchit, & Gonzo narrating Charles Dicken's story with Rizzo the Rat. Good family movie for everyone & extremely funny with Gonzo & Rizzo they were hilarious narrating. I loved it. Over all the muppets version of A Christmas Carol is right on the money for being accurate in following the book A Christmas Carol which is great what is exactly what I wanted to see in the movie that it followed the book in which it did. So if you want to get any movie that portray's to A Christmas Carol by Charles Dicken's this would be the most accurate movie. I've seen so far. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. The Book A Christmas Carol by Charles Dicken's is one of my favorite book's to read.
Happy Movie Hunting everyone!
P.S. If you get into the Barbie movies like me there is only one I would not recommend to anyone which is called Barbie A Christmas Carol do not get the barbie version you'll be sadly dissappointed at how far off base it is from Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. If you get any christmas carol movie I highly recommend A Muppet's Christmas Carol as opposed.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my review!
Happy Movie Hunting everyone!
Description of The Muppet Christmas Carol - Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition
'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. MUPPETS characters and elements are trademarks of The Muppets Holding Company. All Rights Reserved.~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 somber tale. Or at least it starts brightly enough--the anarchic humor 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 humor and somber 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
