EVERYONE TAKES IT SO SERIOUSLY, at least every human. The Muppets don't, but the humans act like they are living in a world without Muppets, they act like they are doing the most serious version of a Christmas Carol as they possibly can... ... and it works. It really works. It's a Muppets movie with Shakespeare quality acting... which makes it one of my favorite adaptations of A Christmas Carol. It's deadly serious and hysterical. It's well acted, it looks brilliant... .... AND THE SONG IS STILL CUT!!!! Which is a shame, because it's one of those songs that brings a tear to your eye, and, as far as I know, is only available in one addition, and it wasn't the one I just streamed. It breaks the heart, but who cares, it is still well played, well acted, beautiful, funny, and heart warming, and that is what it should be... for a Muppets film. I loved it as a child, and I love it today

Probably by the top three adaptations This is a grand adaptation of the tale, and one which resonates well. It is technically very proficient, hits its narrative notes well, and as always, with the Muppet productions, flawlessly directed and shot. Then you add onto it Michael Caine onto it, and as the meme says "The reason Michael Caine an Tim Curry are so good in their respective Muppet movies is that Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors, while Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow Muppet." There is no note that he is not playing it absolutely straight, frights and all, against the Muppets. This is a stunning movie.

It's been a long time since I saw this film. Got to see it at the cinema today, and it brought back joyous memories! Out of all the previous adaptations on A Christmas Carol, this version is my favorite!
