Bah, humbug! Michael Caine hilariously portrays Ebenezer Scrooge in this musical retelling of the famous holiday tale, narrated by Charles Dickens—who looks suspiciously like Gonzo—and Rizzo the Rat. Scrooge is a miserly moneylender who doesn't appreciate the holiday, rejecting his nephew's invitation to dinner and rebuking those seeking charity. Over the course of Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by three ghosts who seek to rid him of his penny-pinching ways and enlighten him to the true meaning of Christmas. With an ensemble of Muppets playing key roles in the story and a performance from Caine fit for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Scrooge's journey across time is fun for the whole family! "The Muppet Christmas Carol's warmth, wit, and obvious affection for Dickens make it one of the greatest Christmas films—and literary adaptations—of all time."—Charlotte Runcie, The Telegraph.
