About The Muppet Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens' classic holiday story sparkles with true Muppet humor and whimsy. Michael Caine stars as penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge. Alone on Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by ghosts who transport him to his past, present and future -- and it's not a pretty sight! But along the way he comes upon poor, kind, humble Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and his family, including the incomparable Miss Piggy as the dreary Mrs. Cratchit and Robin as Tiny Tim. Ultimately it is Tiny Tim who teaches Scrooge the true meaning of Christmas. Directed by Brian Henson, The Muppet Christmas Carol includes original music and eye-catching special effects, and is a "must have" for holiday film and Muppet aficionados of all ages.
