i must have seen a different film!!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO DUST OFF THOSE PUPPETS! THE GRIME IS MAKIN' MA EYES WATER! Dickens and Muppets are such a great combo; the biting dialogue, meta-textual storytelling, the mixture of heart and humor. The best Christmas Carol film adaptation ever. Deal with it.

We've all seen this story in plays, we've read it for homework, and we've watched it through cartoon and movie adaptations. That being said, how does The Muppet Christmas Carol stand against the rest? Is it really that good? Sort of. There are some nice moments or rather moments that really feel like scenes from A Christmas Carol. However, there are also moments that feel off, mostly because many of the characters are Muppets. And to be honest, I don't think of the Muppets when I imagine a serious telling of A Christmas Carol. However, there is still a great amount of effort put into it to make it work. Many Muppet characters really come to life as characters we all know from the story and I personally think that Michael Caine does a good job at portraying Scrooge. If you want to be entertained by the Muppets because you lik ethe Muppets, you will be entertained. If you love A Christmas Carol and want to see a new version, you'll probably enjoy yourself. Is it made more for kids, yes, is that bad, not neccesarily. Unfortunately there are some bland moments and some characters like the Ghost of Christmas Past are so creepy that it's just distracting. If you want to have a nice christmas movie, go ahead and give it a watch, just accept that it's the Muppets so don't have any high expectations. Still, it's very Christmassy and if that's all you care about, you'll definitely enjoy yourself.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is a surprisingly straight adaptation of Dicken's festive story with added Muppets and songs.Michael Caine plays it straight as Ebeneezer Scrooge. He is not going to let an appearance in a kids film to stop him being mean to the poor and destitute and shout bah, humbug to Christmas.The story is faithful to Dicken's text as we get narration of his words from the Great Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat.In Victorian London, the miser and moneylender Scrooge on the night of Christmas Eve warned by the ghosts of late business partners, Jacob and Robert Marley that he must change his ways or carry the eternal chains forever of what he has sowed in his present life on earth.Scrooge is visited by the spirits of the Christmas Past, Present, and Future who show him the errors of his way. Bob Cratchit and his wife are played by Kermit and Miss Piggy with their touching story of Tiny Tim.There are several songs in the film but not so memorable and because of the nature of the story many of the normal Muppets are sidelined because Scrooge is the central character.The film underwhelmed at the box office when the film was released but over time it has become more appreciated by families in the festive period as heartwarming with the underlying Muppet humour. This was also the first Muppet film made after the death of creator Jim Henson.

A great adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale.Funny, fun and entertaining for all ages, yet without losing its profound and essential Christmas message.Having a Muppets version of A Christmas Carol is a masterstroke. Makes the story and theme more accessible by kids, and keeps adults interested too.I even didn't mind the singing...Great performance by Michael Caine as Scrooge. I doubt there has been a better performance of the role. Special effects are fine, especially for 1992. A movie for the entire family.
