The Muppet Christmas Carol

There is nothing that brings people together more during the holidays than the Muppets! The classic Dickens holiday tale is retold with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine in the role of a lifetime). Other Muppets - Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, and Sam the Eagle - weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases - past, present and future. They show him the error of his self- serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.
