Surrounded by the cuddly muppets of Jim Henson's Creature Shop is Michael Caine in the miserly sourpuss Scrooge who comes to his senses on Christmas Eve after a visit from three ghosts. Based on Charles Dickens' classic.
Caine's old-fashioned lyrics and dark spirits may be a bit too much for tender children's souls but according to Kermit, it doesn't matter because, “this is culture. Brian Henson, the son of the renowned puppeteer, parades with sweet songs and hilarious muppet antics so that the dark images quickly fade away. The Muppet Christmas Carol is the perfect Christmas movie and was dedicated to Jim Henson (1936-1990), father of the director and creator of the Muppets
There are no new dates planned (yet) for Classics: The Muppet Christmas Carol.
