Director: Brian Henson
Stars: Michael Caine, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear, Rizzo the Rat, and Gonzo the Great as Charles Dickens (also David Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Jerry Nelson, and Frank Oz)
Yes, the Muppets take on the Dickens classic like you've never seen it before! Come to think of it, this has got to be one of the most used Christmas stories EVER! Everyone has a version of this!
Anyway, the Muppets version has always been my favorite, and soon it will be your favorite, as well. Ebenezer Scrooge (Caine) hates Christmas and everything to do with it, but after he is visited by 3 ghosts (actually 5 because there are two Marleys in this version, and they show up first to warn him about the other ghosts- and they are HILARIOUS), and is shown what Christmas is really about, he begins to rethink his ways. I guarantee it will warm your heart!
I love how the credits in the beginning don't mention the actors, but the Muppets. Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchett, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchett, Rizzo the Rat as Himself, etc. I love the Muppets!
