Ebenezer Scrooge has never met a penny he didn’t want to pinch, and he’s about to meet three ghosts who have other ideas. In this retelling of the Dickens classic, Michael Caine plays it deeply earnest as the miser opposite a cast of Muppets, including Kermit as the overworked Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, and Great Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat as Dickens himself and his unlikely sidekick.
Directed by Brian Henson, this now-venerable classic is loyal to the original Dickensian grit with winning songs by Paul Williams, big laughs, and a tenderhearted finale that gets us every time. Whether you’ve seen it once or a hundred times, it’s one of the best Christmas movies ever made. All the feels, all the felt.
