Great Christmas movie that drags a bit in the middle with the female solo. Other than that a delightful telling of a great classic book. Sometimes the visuals are pale, but that is the nature of the story, but not as... Full review

This is also a perfect holiday film for small kids.....Naturally, the Muppet characters are wonderful....moving script that perfectly incorporates the famous Muppet personalities we've come to love into a classic story we love just as much.....Above-average songs, a faithfulness to the source material, a lot of heart, and an important lesson about the difference between Democrats and Republicans..... ...

However, though I single only these characters out for mention, the entire cast lights up the screen and in every scene the magic of Christmas is seen and felt, a crucial part of any festive film.
As for Scrooge himself, Michael Caine is excellent, a grumpy bastard to begin, but by the end a reformed character who loves the world and wants to give it all it has.

That's just one of the reasons The Muppet Christmas Carol is a winner.
Nonetheless, the sense of playful comedy adds a fun tone to the proceedings.
Overall this movie boasted a very satisfying transfer.
Music presented good bounce and clarity.

They are on the periphery of practically every scene, injecting commentary and humor, perhaps a little too much.
It's hard not to appreciate Caine's Scrooge as well.

As noted before, the movie isn't all bad.
Given the talent and history involved, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie is disappointing, even for a TV production.
