About this movie

'Tis the season for love, laughter, and one of the most cherished stories of all time! Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the hilarious Muppets in this merry, magical version of Charles Dickens' classic tale. Academy Award® winner Michael Caine (Best Supporting Actor) gives a performance that's anything but "bah, humbug!" as greedy, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge. One fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Together with kind, humble Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and his family, the Spirits open Scrooge's eyes -- and his heart -- to the true meaning of Christmas. Filled with original music and dazzling special effects, THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL will become a holiday tradition your family will treasure all the days of the year.

Ratings and reviews

It is not Google's fault this doesn't have When Love Is Gone; it is Disney's. Eisner said, strangely similar to the only good review here, that the song was boring for children. Once removed it has never been replaced. You will never see a whole version of this, but you can watch it in special features on recent downloads.

If you're looking for "The long is gone" song in this version it's not here. That song was only put into the full screen original version, which Google does not have. But also, this movie is incredible, I've watched it multiple times every year my entire life. Christmas isn't the same without it.

I would have given this version 5 stars, but for some reason, it does not include the song "It was Almost Love" between Scrooge and Belle. Without this song, the Spirit of Christmas Past is pretty much meaningless. I'm glad I rented this rather than bought it. I feel cheated.
