Over deze film

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.

Ultimate Christmas film, feel good funny and poignant. Would be five stars if the beautiful and moving song "The Love is Gone" were in this version.

This is a firm favourite in our house. It's a lovely up beat, feel good film that's accessable to everyone. They stick pretty closely to the original story but somehow make it so entertaining you can watch it again and again. The only downside is that they cut 'the love is gone', which if you grew up with the original, feels strange. But it's still one of the best Christmas films out there.

Whoever thought the Muppets could be true to the spirit of Charles Dickens' novel, but they do it with fun and alacrity. If you don't watch any other Christmas movie, make sure you watch this one.
