I love the Muppets.
This film is the best of many retellings of Dickens classic ghost tale.
Gonzo is my favourite as Charles Dickens, his narration along with Rizzlo the rat is humorous and fun.
Kermit as Bob Crachit as the lead book keeper is amusing and his team of rats are hilarious.
Michael Caine plays Scrooge who's path of redemption is believable as he is visted by three ghosts who show Scrooge the errors of his ways.
Also, the songs are catchy.
Disney tried other versions but none can top this one. A true Christmas classic to watch every year.

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights, it's time to raise the curtain on The Muppet Movie's 40th Anniversary tonight!
If you were born between the 1970s and 1990s, it’s almost impossible to imagine a world without “The Muppets”. From “Sesame Street” to “The Muppet Show”, they formed one of the cornerstones of childhood pop culture and while they have endured, they’ve yet to recapture the dizzying heights of their late 1970s/ 1980s dominance. That’s thanks in large part to the irresistible amiability and boundless charm of this, their first full-length movie, released in the UK 40 years ago today...

I'm going to start with a shocker: I'd never actually read Robert Louis Stevenson's classic before.

Oh, I was familiar with the story - who isn't? - but as for actually reading the novel? Nope.

Indeed, the closest I had ever come was screen adaptations of it, with The Muppets version in particular springing to mind! As such, I never really had the inclination to go to the source material - after all, I've seen it, so why read it?

However, I finally got round to actually doing so in late 2013 and, you know what? I did actually quite enjoy it!

I'm aware that it started the whole buried treasure/peg-legged Pirates genre of stories, and now I know why :)

Movie Favorite

"Okay, well now I’ve got one of two. Either The Muppets, the new movie, or a film called Monsters, which I really liked. I think I might put that one in. I loved the production design, which I gather [Gareth Edwards] did all himself, and the music by John Hopkins. I’m a huge fan of his music anyway, and his music is what introduced me to the film, which is weird. I look for anything that John’s done, and discovered he’d done the music to this film Monsters. I loved the soundtrack and I thought, “I wonder what this film’s like?” I loved the movie. I thought it was a terrific job."
