Summary: Adults: don't bother reading further
Review: This is a movie for kids, so if you're an adult and didn't like it, duh! I actually collect all the different versions of this Dickens classic on video and try to watch all of them every holiday season. I was pleasantly surprised that the Henson people were actually able to stay as close to the text as they did. Michael Caine is a scary Scrooge and the kids are afraid of him -- as is Kermit I might add, but remind the kids that at the end, Scrooge is a really nice guy who saves Tiny Tim, and they might come out from behind the couch to watch the last act.

Summary: Good movie, bad release
Review: Picture quality is OK, but not great. It is cropped so it doesn't show the full picture we saw in the cinema. Disney chose to mention this in extremely tiny print on the back of the box.I'm waiting until it comes out in widescreen.

Summary: Christmas Classic
Review: My sister and I have to watch this movie every christmas, and we are both 22! I love the songs and this is my favorite muppet movie. I love this movie! Its sweet and funny and really the best retelling of the christmas carol. Because, it's not too sickingly sweet like some, or too traditional a telling for this day and age like the version with Patrick Stewart that put me to sleep. A great way for kids to learn the tale, and fun for parents as well!

Summary: Charming and appealing to adults too
Review: You would have to have the heart of a Scrooge to not enjoy this DVD! They did a masterful job at presenting the well-known story in a format that would be fun for kids and yet appealing to adults too. Some of the sly humor will go right over your kids' heads, but will make you laugh! This is really quite fun, and has become a traditional favorite in our household for holiday viewing.

Summary: Truly a 'Muppet' good time!
Review: Released in 1992 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' is a TRUE CLASSIC. Brian Henson directs a true masterpiece, a great tribute to the genius of his father. The Muppet Christmas Carol remains astonishingly true to the Dickens classic. Michael Caine delivers a fantastic performance as Ebeneezer Scrooge, the mizerly, bitter old man who's anger at Christmas and all it encompasses touches everyone around him. On Christmas Eve Scrooge is visited by three spirits who show him the true meaning of Christmas. With Kermit as Cratchet and Miss Piggy as his wife and the ensemble cast of the Muppets filling all the other pertinent roles this is a fabulous film for the entire family. There is something for everyone in this wonderful, magical film. With the exception of 'The Muppet Movie' the 'Muppet Christmas Carol' is probably one of the most spectacular muppet movies to come out of the Henson studios. I am dissapointed that this film is not widescreen, however, you cannot miss this opportunity to own a great film which will enrich your life and those around you.

Summary: Super Cute
Review: Well I have to say it is everything you would expect from the muppets. Gonzo and his friend "Rat" are the story tellers and extremely funny I might add. It's great holiday fun and no regrets at all adding this to my collection. I am 24, no kids and most my friends are my age as well and we watch it and love it so it is definitely for families of all ages not just the little ones. I recommend it, I promise you'll enjoy it and watch it enough to get your moneys worth :o)

Summary: Excellent adaptation
Review: My 7 year old loves this and we do too! It is a much more authentic Dickens than any other Christmas Carol that I have seen, yet it's still lots of fun for kids. And how can you beat having Michael Caine as Scrooge? I'm glad that my child will be learning the story from this version and not from Mr. Magoo like we did! :)

Summary: A perfect movie -- so why does Disney treat it so poorly?
Review: This is my absolute favorite "Christmas Carol" adaptation. What makes the Muppets so great is their versitility --they can be used to tell any story, and this proves it. Kermit is Bob Crachit, Gonzo is Charles Dickens (a brilliant touch) and Academy Award-winner Michael Caine is Ebenezer Scrooge. The songs are as touching and as funny as any Muppet production in history, and Brian Henson is doing his father proud, helming these classic characters the way he has. The only beef I've got is with Disney's production of the DVD -- NO WIDESCREEN VERSION! Blast it, why are we still being subjected to fullscreen? TVs are going to be widescreen in a few years anyway -- the same people who whine about black bars at the top and bottom of their screen now will be whining about them on the SIDES then... The movie is nearly perfect. Five stars. The presentation is what yanks it down to three.

Summary: Eye-catching, earful and superb to boot!
Review: Finally, in Michael Caine, we get a Scrooge that is despicable without being disgusting. In a flawless performance, Michael Caine makes us clamor for Scrooge's redemption, by showing us glimpses of the man he could be. The entrance of Caine as Scrooge and the accompanying song is alone worth the price of the movie. The music invites you to sing along, or weep along as the case may be. and the sets are imaginative and evocative of Christmases we wish we had. You know a film is good when you care about what becomes of a green cloth frog. To me, this is the best of all possible Christmas Carols.
