It’s time for laughter and one of the most beloved stories of all time! Let Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the hilarious Muppets whisk you away in this joyful, enchanting rendition of Charles Dickens' classic tale.
Directed by Brian Henson, carrying on the legacy of his late father, this adaptation brings to life the most famous Christmas story of all time. Michael Caine stars as the miserly Scrooge, with Kermit as his long-suffering yet ever-hopeful employee Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Cratchit's wife, and a host of Muppets (including the Great Gonzo as an unlikely Charles Dickens) taking on other key roles in this vibrant, playful retelling of the somber tale.
At least, it starts off brightly enough—soon, the anarchic humor blends into cheerful nostalgia and a sense of melancholy as the Christmas ghosts of Past, Present, and Future guide Scrooge through a journey into his lonely, wasted life. Michael Caine delivers a wonderful Scrooge, delightfully rediscovering the meaning of life. Alongside the kind and humble Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and his family, the spirits open Scrooge’s eyes—and heart—to what Christmas is truly all about.
