Lovable Adaptation
Muppet Christmas Carol is definitely one of the best Muppet films ever made.

The strengths are that it is a great adaptation with actors that fully deliver and that the Muppets add a lot to the movie. Each part complements the other and I did not expect that. “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens is a timeless classic. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge is probably so famous that anyone knows it, have read it or seen/ listen an adaption. It is a story about the true values of Christmas, self reflection and being a better person. The Muppets also don’t need any introduction. Who does not know Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and all the others. The story itself follows the events of the book really accurate and like I said the Muppets addition to the story as characters works far better then I would have imagined. The humor adds to the enjoyment of the story and movie. The human actors fully deliver and I will praise Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge for an amazing performance. The puppetry for the Muppets is also great and they create immersion and emotions. Practical effects are sometimes far better than CGI. Overall this is an amazing movie and I don't know why it is forgotten even on Christmas. Worth to rewatch in the holiday times.… Expand

The two best Muppet movies after Jim Henson's death are this and Muppets Treasure Island. The worst, I think is Muppets Wizard of Oz. Muppets Christmas Carol is wonderful, and deserves the high rating. I also think the rating for TreasureThe two best Muppet movies after Jim Henson's death are this and Muppets Treasure Island. The worst, I think is Muppets Wizard of Oz. Muppets Christmas Carol is wonderful, and deserves the high rating. I also think the rating for Treasure Island is too low, as I loved that film too.

The Muppets are truly funny here, especially Gonzo and Rizzo, who have the funniest lines. Kermit and Miss Piggy were at their most touching here. Scrooge's encounter with the Marley Brothers was the highlight of the film for me. The high point of the movie is the performance of Michael Caine,(like Tim Curry in Treasure Island) who was the best he was in recent years, and his singing was passable. Very convincing! I personally think this is the funniest post Jim Henson Muppet movie, and was my favourite Christmas memory as a kid, and managed to stay true to the spirit of Christmas, and was heartwarming with the character of Tiny Tim. The songs, also, weren't that bad at all, but in comparison to the ones in Treasure Isaland, one or two of them are a little hit-and-miss, but that's just me, and that is my only negative! The incidental music was beautiful though.

All in all, a wonderfully entertaining film, that has enough to satisfy Muppet fans. 9/10. Bethany Cox… Expand

I don't think it's a 10, but my brother in law likes this film. Therefore, I give it a 10.
