How to watch Muppet Christmas Carol

Growing up we watched this movie every year (sometimes several times) during the holidays. I realize a lot of people love this song, but when you're a kid and you just want the fun Muppet stuff, you tend to have less interest in other parts of a movie.

(this isn't saying anything negative about the song, it really is a great song, it was just a joke between a friend and myself when we realized we both did this when we were growing up)

Ahahaha, I did this too when I was a kid! "What?! Boring emotional stuff!!" *fast forwards*. Some people in the comments seem to be outraged that anyone would fast forward through this touching song, but when you're four you just want to see muppets singing happy songs about Christmas. Now as an adult this is one of my favorite parts of the movie! It's so touching.

@meekakitty Yeah, the whole idea for this video came about when my friend and I were talking about the movie and realized we BOTH did this when we were younger, so I determined right then and there that this had to be on the internet. (that's also when I realized that there was no version of the song on YouTube, either. Well, from Muppet Christmas Carol, that is)

haha so at your house you just skip over the most emotional song!? The songs are what make the movie great! I actually laughed when you skipped over it :).

[Sinatra192]

why would anyone fast-forward through this song? It gives background on Mr Scrooge's life and it's a huge turning point in the movie. Plus the song is very emotional, which i love

Haha, oh man, I was 7 when we got this on VHS and I was exactly the opposite. Sometimes I even REWOUND AND WATCHED IT AGAIN. I loved this scene so much...

[LaSenoritaManzana]

I have to admit, even as a girl, I did this when I was younger. Of course, now it has become one of my favorite moments in the movie.

[WrathOfBlade]

Not only this, but "Springtime is Warm" in the Magoo version. I love you for making this.

hahaha!!! i only watched this scene because of his blue coat! so shmexy! but when she opened her gob she was '>>fastforwarded' she has a naisely voice =/ sorry hun, but that bonnett has to go too, BYEBYE BELLE!

[MythicalPrincess]

I skipped the movie and watched only the songs when I was a kid I loved this song! I watched it three times each time I watched the movie! =)

but but....this is an integral part of the story, showing one of the main factors that lead to Scrooge's broken, grumpy and miserable persona in his later life :O

@p405e i agree with you about it being the most emotional song and that the songs make the movie great but when i saw that he fastforwarded it i was so angry and really peaved off and thats why i wrote my long angry comment

[TheCleverArachnid]

You should have stopped fast-forwarding it halfway through, saw she was still singing, then fast-forwarded it some more. I would have LOL'd even harder.

My dad loves this song. My dad hates songs in movies and he likes this song. It's so powerful.
