I read recently that this qualifies as the most accurate on-screen representation of the Charles Dicken's classic, in that it is the film that sticks closest to the plot and that uses the most actual quotations from the source.

Not as in the characters are nearly all played by Muppets.

Michael Caine, also, does a pretty good Scrooge, playing it as serious as a heart attack whilst the usual Muppety mayhem goes on around him - Kermit the Frog is Bob Cratchitt, Miss Piggy (of course) Mrs Cratchitt, whilst Gonzo provides the narration (as Charles Dickens) alongside Rizzo the rat.

The tale itself, of the ghosts who visit Scrooge on Christmas Eve (most famously the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future), and convince him to change his ways, is timeless.
