About this Event
December 6 - The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992), directed by Brian Henson, starring Michael Caine, Steve Whitmire (Kermit the Frog and Bob Cratchit), and Frank Oz (Miss Piggy).
The Muppet Christmas Carol offers something different for yuletide fare. The merging of Charles Dickens’ immortal tale of redemption with the musicalized Muppet universe is just right - making for a refreshingly offbeat, funny, and heartwarming take on a familiar tale. Michael Caine does a remarkably fine job of acting opposite a slew of wondrous puppets, bringing a genuine pathos and power to his interpretation of Ebenezer Scrooge. David Parkinson of Radio Times (UK) wrote: “Although the story has been Muppetised, no attempt has been made to water down the story, and the poignancy of the moral tale is as affecting as ever.”
