The Muppet Christmas Carol

Directed by Brian Henson, 1992
G; 86 minutes

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Sam the Eagle, and other Muppets weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from three Christmas spirits: past, present and future, who try to show Scrooge the error of his self-serving ways.
