The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) – Rewatch

Perhaps it’s just because it’s so overdone at this point, but A Christmas Carol is probably my least favorite Christmas tale. Saying that, The Muppets perform one of my favorite classically set versions of the story. Michael Caine is effective in both the villainous and redeemed parts of Scrooge’s character arch. Though I would have liked more well-known characters as the ghosts, the rest of the Muppet cast is well assigned, especially Gonzo and Rizzo who provide good movement and levity in their narrator roles. The songs are memorable while feeling classic and not at all out of place in the setting.
