The Muppet Christmas Carol - Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition Summary This Is 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, 2000, The Cider House Rules; 1987, Hannah And Her Sisters) 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, This Restored And Remastered 50th Anniversary Edition Of The Muppet Christmas Carol Will Become A Holiday Tradition Your Family Will Treasure All The Days Of The Year.

Brian Henson directs his late father's creations in the Charles Dickens classic, the best known (and most oft-filmed) Christmas story of all time. Michael Caine plays the old miser Scrooge with Kermit as his long-suffering but ever-hopeful employee Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Cratchit's wife, and a host of Muppets (including the Great Gonzo as an unlikely Charles Dickens) taking other primary roles in this bright, playful adaptation of the somber tale. Or at least it starts brightly enough--the anarchic humor soon settles into mirthful memories and a sense of melancholy as the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future take Scrooge on a journey of his lonely, wasted life. Michael Caine makes a wonderful Scrooge, delightfully rediscovering the meaning of life as fantastic creations from Henson's Creature Shop (developed specially for this film) take the reins as the three ghosts. While the odd mix of offbeat humor and somber drama undercuts the power of Dickens's drama, this kid-friendly retelling makes an excellent family drama that adults and children alike can enjoy. --Sean Axmaker
