Summary: Christmas Treasure
Review: This movie is a true treasure that warms the heart and gladdens the soul. Michael Caine is outstanding and it's his classic portrail that enhances the muppets. It's impossible not to sing along and to continue singing the wonderful music long after the movie is over. I would have given this 10 stars, but the colors seem a bit faded and it's not in wide screen. But don't let that stop you from buying this. It's a real treat.

Summary: DVD NOT IN WIDESCREEN, Disney should be ashamed!!
Review: This film is one of the Christmas classics and a favorite of our whole family's. The film deserves "5-stars." However, Disney chose to release "pan-and-scan" only for the DVD. Since pan-and-scan chops off the sides so that the movie is the same aspect ratio as a standard TV, we're only seeing half of the film. Therefore, I can give this "VHS with chapter stops" version of the film no more than two stars. Disney should be ashamed of themselves, ... ruining such a wonderful film with a sub-par DVD release. I was really looking forward to seeing this film as it was seen in the theaters (i.e. in WIDESCREEN). Maybe another year. Perhaps Disney is letting art imitate life. Perhaps, ... just perhaps, ... they will turn over a new leaf like Ebeneezer Scrooge and start releasing films in their Original Aspect Ratio!! We can only dream.

Summary: One of Michael Caine's best
Review: We have loved this movie from the first time we saw it. The music is unbelievable and a testament to the song writing talent of Paul Williams. What we enjoy the most is you have to remind yourself that you are watching muppets. This movie is a Christmas Eve tradition in our home and will be for years to come.

Summary: The DVD is amazing! New footage awaits you....
Review: Disney and Henson have really got it right with The Muppet Christmas Carol DVD. The DVD has a stunning menu with a newly-recorded introduction and hilarious sarcastic navigational advice from Kermit. The menu begins with a Dikendian snowy scene of rooftops which then pans to a snow encrusted CGI window inside a fire-lit Victorian house. Here the new sound and video footage of Kermit in yuletide attire plays over the animated menu of snow falling. After some time, Kermit plays hide and seek whilst he waits, impatiently, for you to select your choice. With a swoop of CGI animation, the Special Features are on another menu, which has also music and newly recorded Kermit puppetry and a roaring Yuletide fire. Here you will find the extras - a wonderful and entertaining 'Behind the Scenes' with Rizzo and Gonzo, 'Audio Commentary' Option, 'Christmas Around the World' feature and a 'unique' on the set extra! Amazing! The menus are true to the magic of Christmas, Disney and The Muppets! This is one Disney release you'll love - real thought and imagination have gone into the production and it shows. It's a Christmas DVD gem - alas, in 1.33:1 but in glorious 5.1 DD Surround which is noticable.

Summary: Hey! Light the lamp, not the rat!
Review: This chestnut is re-told with a sarcastic and skewed attitude. So much the better. Caine is the redoubtable Scrooge and the Muppets do their wonderful thing, as usual. The scene not to be missed is when Beaker flips off Scrooge after turning them down for a charitable donation. Enjoy!

Summary: Excellent
Review: I own this movie on VHS and i love it. There are a few forgettable songs but most are delightful ("Wherever you find love, it feels like Christmas"), Micheal Caine is excellent. Bob Cratchit's (Kermit's) family are spunky and witty, with Miss Piggy playing Mrs. Cratchit. Gonzo trades his usual weirdness for a top hat and scarf. He serves as the narrator, along with Rizzo the rat. Henson splits the character Marley into two separate characters. They are played by everyone's favorite hecklers Statler and Waldorf. I don't need to tell you who plays Fozziwig. This movie is very entertaining and will put even the biggest Scrooge into the holiday spirit.

Summary: WIDESCREEN please!
Review: This is an absolutely superb movie. It balances a sincere story with absurd Muppet hilarity with incredible skill. My only wish for it now is to have a widescreen version. The VHS "full screen" version reduces the camera work to the point that it looks like a camera-wielding hamster could have done better. There are always cropped Muppets lurking at the edges of the screen. Come on Disney! Get your act together. Two versions, double sided, whatever ... just hurry up with a widescreen version.

Review: This is a great Christmas Tradition ranking right up their with Mickey's Christmas Carol. Probably the last great muppet movie the Jim Henson company made.

Summary: The Ultimate Christmas Classic
Review: This is a great kid's adaptation of a classic book. With a combination of actors and muppets, this movie mixes family-friendly comidy and a little Dickens drama. However I think the best part of this movie is the songs, which are very cute and memorable.
My only warning is that the ghost of future Christmas' might be a little scary for very young kids. I probably wouldn't reccommend this movie for kids younger then seven.
