The Muppet Christmas Carol - Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition
Description:
'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.

Lovely movieFeb 14, 2010 I LOVE this movie! I sing the songs yeararound and think that EVERY child should see it!
Best Muppets everFeb 12, 2010 This is the best Muppets anything ever made. Probably one of the best Christmas Carol stories ever made too. Great movie!
"It Feels Like Christmas"Feb 11, 2010 This is my favorite Christmas movie. Good cast and great music. Check it out, you shan't be disappointed.
Muppets...why say more?...Feb 11, 2010 A Christmas classic with the convenience of DVD .....I do think a few scenes, or musicial numbers are missing....at least it seemed shorter than the VHS version - otherwise - great to see again - and again....

TheDVD version with "The love has gone! still in!!!!Feb 10, 2010 We searched High and low to get a DVD version of the Muppets Christmas Carol with that wonderful song "The love has gone" still in it.
This was Certainly worth getting. The song is one of the most sentimental parts of the film. If Ebenezer scrooge ever had a reason for penting up his anger at the world and himself it was when he let Belle leave him. Sacrificing love for money.
We dont know what Jim Henson was thinking when he edited it out!
The quality of the recording is not super sharp but better then the VHS version we have. This was the Christmas eve film our Kids went to bed to every year (and stiil do, given the chance).
