The Muppets have made 6 movies (and a 7th coming in 2010) and this one is the best of them all. Not only is it funny, but it's poignant, becoming one of the best stories of Scrooge & The Ghosts.
The character choices here are quite nicely. Kermit's Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy is his wife and Gonzo is Charles Dickens (Rizzo is with him and brilliantly notes he's "Here for The Food"!) A nice touch is that Fezziewigs has become Fozziwigs! Cute.
Michael Cane really sells old Scrooge here. He has great acting and shines throughout. I felt that he (along with Jim Carrey among others) has one of the best portrayals of Scrooge.
The Muppets have done it again and bring forth one of the best adaptations of A Christmas Carol ever. Funny & sweet, this is one Christmas classic not to be missed.
