The Muppet’s Christmas Carol (1992) Review
I have so much love for this film. The classic Christmas Carol story with Muppets and one of the best Scrooge performances ever from Michael Caine? Come on he was acting with the Muppets!
Not forgetting that he dances about and sings a song at the end as well. Showing that Scrooge really does have niceness deep inside!
I think that is probably one of the best things about the Muppet version is that we get a few songs thrown in for the ride as well. Something that is extra nice in a Christmas film, just gives it more of an edge compared to others.
The visits from the ghosts really do rely on Caine’s acting ability as there’s only a couple of other actors in it. It must have been a strange experience to film. It certainly is my favourite ever Christmas film!
Let's Go To The Movies 
This is a damn good choice! Michael Caine + Muppets + Christmas = just perfect!

I love this movie!! The songs are great. It has a ton of the story in there (I’m a bit of a Christmas Carol junkie if you didn’t know). And Caine is great as Scrooge. Great job!

Glad you love this one as much as I do 🙂 Caine is so good as Scrooge think he often gets overlooked!

Having looked at your entire list (a list i do pretty much agree with), I have to say that you are truly missing out having not seen Nicolas Cage’s yuletide masterpiece ‘Trapped in Paradise’ (!)

It is utter rubbish, but worth watching for the trademark over the top Nic Cage performance!
One I would genuinely recommend is a Finnish film called Rare Exports though.

Somehow I haven’t seen this. I actually like The Muppets so I should fix that. Great post.

LOVE this film, one of my favourite childhood Christmas films. I watched it in college for my media class a few years ago and I still enjoyed it a lot as a teenager. If I have the time I’ll try to watch it again before Christmas rolls around. Great choice and wonderful review.

I was holding my breath in suspence – so glad you made the right call 😉 I don’t think I saw A Christmas Story anywhere on your list, or National Lampoon’s Christmas, but otherwise a good and fun list. Thanks!

I haven’t seen either of those, but heard good things about them. I will try and watch them this December!
