It’s considered one of the better adaptations. Gonzo plays Charles Dickens, as Dickens historically made a fair bit of money in his later years narrating his stories in person. Michael Caine plays Scrooge. It’s excellent. Kermit and Piggy are Bob and Emily Crathit.
Agreed. He treated the muppets as fellow actors and it created a wonderful energy that still shines through all these years later.
There’s a few Scrooge movies I like to catch each year: Muppet Christmas Carol, Scrooged, and Spirited has joined the ranks recently. There’s one particular scene in that last one that absolutely horrifies me in the best way. They modernized a lot of it and made it more accessible to people who might otherwise see these concerns as outdated.
I’ve never seen A Muppet Christmas Carol, but just looking at these pictures has caused me to start weeping uncontrollably.

Michael Caine put more love and care into playing the role straight than I would have expected.

i cri evrytiem 😭😭😭
We watch it every Christmas Eve, it’s great.
We’ve watched Scrooged (NSFW) at Christmastime for the last few years.
The bitch hit me with a toaster!
I’m still partial to the mouse antler scene, or the nipple scene.
Check out spirited too!
