The Muppet Christmas Carol: The Uncut Version

Dir. Brian Henson. 1992, 85 mins. U.S. DCP. With Michael Caine, Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Jerry Nelson, Frank Oz. In this beloved staple of many a childhood, the Charles Dickens classic is recast with the classic Muppet characters, including Gonzo as Charles Dickens, Kermit at Bob Cratchit, and Fozzie Bear as Fozziwig. This faithful adaptation is as full of Christmas spirit and imagination as any of the various film adaptations of the novel, and features a towering performance by Caine as the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge and a splendid musical score by Paul Williams. This full, uncut version of the original release features the song “When Love Is Gone.” Tickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth / free for MoMI members.
