Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol has been adapted for film many times (maybe I'll look that up?) and has a version currently in theaters as I write this. I suppose we will see it when it comes to DVD, but for now I will happily watch The Muppet Christmas Carol from 1992. Yes, it is the Muppets, the Puppets from Jim Henson, later purchased by Disney. And it is a musical, like most Muppet movies. But it does hold true to the original tale, and the actors all do a fine job of bring the tale to life for the whole family.
Michael Caine stars as Ebenezer Scrooge, and Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie and the entire cast of the Muppets come together to retell the story of Charles Dickens' immortal classic A Christmas Carol. The ghost in here can actually be a little scary, so watch out for sensitive little ones that you may not be taking to see the new Christmas Carol version.
This movie has a nice twist with The Great Gonzo as Charles Dickens narrating the film himself. So if you are looking for something fun and classic for Christmas, check out The Muppet Christmas Carol on DVD.
