to be honest, I can kinda agree with scrooge, in how he doesn't understand the specialness of christmas. Why are people only really nice and pleasant to one another on one day of the year? why do family members and friends u haven't heard from all year decide that now is a good time to make an effort to contact u? I'd rather have people bother with me for 364 days of the year n forget me on one, than have people remember me for only one day n forget me 364 days of the year...
Love this movie. The Muppets were the perfect vehicle for the humanity and the creativeness of A Christmas Carol. Michael Cain spends most of this movie "reacting" and he is fantastic.
My family bought this movie when it came out on VHS years ago, and we now have the DVD. It's become a tradition to watch it every year just before Christmas. It's still my favorite adaptation of A Christmas Carol as well as one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time! This song makes me so happy :)
@rfrady The muppet is named Benson and even the muppet website confirms that he is depicted with "a cigarette perpetually dangling from his lip." You can find other videos of Benson and the Baby Band online where he has his trademark cigarette in them.
by this point in the movie, Scrooge seems a happier man already he's making jokes and laughing and smiling, he seems less snappy and sarcastic as well
It's in the singing of a street corner choir It's going home and getting warm by the fire It's true Wherever you find love It feels like Christmas A cup of kindness that we share with another A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother In all the places you find love It feels like Christmas It is the season of the heart A special time of caring the ways you so love clear it is the sean of the sprit and the messege if we hear it the ways of love make clear
i LOVE the Ghost of Christmas present. he makes me so happy :D. he's the best. i watched the one with jim carry and that one creeped me out. THIS movie is my favorite!
The best thing about this movie is the characters are treated like they are real and believable, not like puppets. Micheal caine did a fantastic job interacting with them on it.
this and A Child's Christmas in Wales are two movies that my family ALWAYS watches together at Christmas. (Oh, and A Christmas Story on Thanksgiving night, obviously.) :D this is my favorite song from this movie, though!!
This is the perfect representation of Christmas. My family and I ALWAYS watch this movie when I come to visit them during the holidays. It is the best tradition we've ever had.
As a child I did not understand this, as an atheist I did not appreciate this, but when I found God, I welled up with tears and got goosebumps because I understood the message all too well.
dont think badly of me, but this song taught me the true meaning of christmas. when i was 6 or so, i thought it was just about preseants. i knew that it was jesus's birthday (im not going to get into religion) but i didnt know what it was about. then i watched this movie, and i knew then. its about showing kindness and love to one another.
They did a special pre-Christmas showing of this at the local movie theatre where I was studying abroad in Scotland and it was completely packed with probably at least 300 college students. Tickets sold out days in advance. And we all left the theatre singing this song! Such a classic :)
I was in middle school when I first saw A Muppets Christmas Carol. Every December, on the Friday before Christmas Vacation, in the dwindling hours of school, all the classes would get off more or less early and they would show a Christmas movie in each class and each class would get some ice cream with food coloring Santas or Christmas trees on them and cookies. No idea if they still do it, but they did when I was in 7th and 8th grade.
I first saw this movie when I was around 7. 17 years later and this movie, this song, it all still holds a place in my heart. I can't help but smile during this song.
Note: the choir boy getting smoked at 1:59. The first time I noticed that I was crying of laughter. The Muppets are the best at adding these subtle funny parts!
was not in the Christmas mood earlier today. I then watched this film and now I feel like a kid again. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what Christmas is about! Merry Christmas everyone!
