This is an adaption of the Charles Dickens classic that doesn't wander too badly from the original novel. We have Kermit the Frog as Bob Crachet, Miss Piggy as his wife, Fozzie the Bear as Fozziwig, Gonzo as the narrator- Charles Dickens, and Michael Caine as Scrooge. Brian Henson did a fine job in making his fist movie. Michael Caine does a splendid job working with the Muppets. The songs are by Paul Williams, and to make it even better, this is a Walt Disney Pictures production. The special features include a commentary with Director Brian Henson, some "out takes" from the movie (which are pretty good.) There is "Frogs,Pigs and Humbug":Unwrapping a New Holliday Classic" which gives you some interesting background on the movie. The last bonus feature is "Christmas around the world" which talks about various Christmas traditions in other countries. If you enjoyed the Muppet Show in the 1980's or any of the Muppet movies that have been released like "Muppets from Space" or "Muppet Treasure Island", you will thoroughly enjoy this adaptation. Guaranteed, the children will.Read full review

This edition has the "Love is Gone" scene that newer editions are missing. Great to own one that has that scene still :)

I am a Christmas Carol fanatic- have seen about every rendition out there throughout the years, many of which I have viewed multiple times. Although the Alastair Sim version still remains my all-time favorite version (which is the case for most people, from what I've gleaned over the years), this one is excellent. It contains a mix of muppets and human actors, with most characters portrayed by the humans. I was delighted to finally get a (used) copy at a good price. Don't miss this delightful version! :o)

This DVD is really nice because it puts me in the Christmas spirit. Some of my friends and family are good fans of the Muppets ever since we were kids. And this has one of the best qualities since 1992 when the Muppet Christmas Carol came out. I’m going to watch it on Christmas to put me in the spirit. Gonzo makes a great role as Charles Dickens with Rizzo the Rat by his side. So I want to say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a nice day
