      The best rendition I ever saw was Patrick Stewart's one-man show on Broadway. It was essentially a straight reading of the book with Stewart acting out every character, including inanimate objects. Sadly they haven't released a video of it, but Stewart did also play Scrooge in a film version as well. I understand the NYPL Performing Arts library has a tape of it, but it would have to be watched on premises.

      The 2009 mocap animated version with Jim Carrey, of all versions, is also surprisingly close to being verbatim from the book, for the majority of its dialogue. Indeed, it's the only version I have seen where Christmas Present's lines disavowing self-proclaimed religious politicians, who at the time tried to deny the poor from accessing bakeries and the like on religious holidays, can be found in an adaptation. I can understand why that version is less talked about, however. Mocap animation is often the quickest to age poorly, for starters, and for another that version's slapstick filler definitely felt far more like filler than anything in the Muppet version. Muppet slapstick is hard to do poorly, though, to be fair.

      J. Draper's youtube channel just did a historical analysis (reaction) to this movie comparing its accuracy to the book, and she pointed out that the decision to have a narrator character reading lines more or less verbatim from the book let it use a lot of Dickens original phrasing that normally doesn't wind up in stage versions due to lack of a narrator.
      The main divergences are that they edited out all mention of boiling christmas pudding because modern Americans don't have that, and they changed young Scrooge to already dislike Christmas when the Ghost of Christmas past's main message in the book was "you used to love Christmas". She also pointed out some British propriety/social class things like Scrooge sending a turkey to Cratchett's house but NOT showing up uninvited, and instead going to his nephew's party which he had been invited to. (And then the bit about increasing his salary happening the next morning, which would have meant Piggy couldn't be there, and also that the lead actor couldn't steal Tiny Tim's last line...)

      'A Christmas Carol' was the first Dickens book I read (in primary school), and I think that this movie is a wonderful introduction for children to classic literature. If they do read it (you can imagine kids saying to their parents, 'Gonzo told us to read the book' - brilliant!), they would be drawn through it by recognising the pieces of the script that were taking directly from the book. It was a clever, creative melding of literature and entertainment to give children an understanding of how wonderful those stories are. I was so happy to see, later, the adaptation of Treasure Island in the same way, starring Tim Curry.

    My favorite version of A Christmas Carol, and my favorite traditional Christmas movie full stop. I love Gonzo’s turn as Charles Dickens, this was the first movie where he had Rizzo were paired up and they have stuck with that through various other films and tv shows since. Michael Caine steals the show as Scrooge. Despite being surrounded by colorful Muppets, he gives a serious performance (at his own insistence) which helps you get lost in the story rather than worrying about why he is dealing with a bird and a bear in the past flashbacks. The next Muppet movie to be released was another adaption of a public domain work, Muppet Treasure Island, where Tim Curry played the one legged pirate Long John Silver, a performance worth seeing.

    I've watched a lot of adaptations of The Christmas Carol since the 70s when I was a kid. My favorite used to be the one with George C Scott from the 80s, until I watched this one. This is my favorite adaptation to date.

    If you want to see actual versions of A Christmas Carol, two classics are the 1984 version with George C Scott (my favorite) and the 1951 version with Alistair Sim. That version is in black and white and some of the actors are coming from the theater so like the guy who plays Marley is a bit over dramatic. Couldn't leave the stage acting behind. But both versions are really fantastic.

      @@nsasupporter7557 I heard his heart wasn't really in it, as he'd had a complicated relationship with his father and his father's creations; like a lot of children of people we view as geniuses, Brian often felt his father was neglecting him in favor of his work, so basically becoming the heir apparent to the studio was pretty rough for him.
      Not helped that one of the few places Brian tried to step in and put his foot down as the new boss was shot down by Disney; that being his insistence that Steve Whitmire _not_ be made the new Kermit. He'd already known for years that Whitmire could be egotistical and demanding, and being given the frog only made this worse. Not only did Whitmire grind down Kermit's edges like what happened to Mickey Mouse, but over his 25+ years as Kermit, he picked up a shocking number of accusations of sexual harassment. And this eventually led to Whitmire's dismissal in 2019.
      Anyways, all things considered, I think Brian did am admirable job making the best of a bad hand.

The Spirit of Christmas Past was inspired by the gelflings in the 1982 Jim Henson movie "The Dark Crystal" which was also directed by Frank Oz. Another great Muppet movie is "Muppet Treasure Island" with Tim Curry.

    This is one of the top three renditions of "A Christmas Carol" ever put to film. The other two being Scrooged (which you watched last year) and "Scrooge" from 1951 starring Alastair Sim. It's old and the picture quality and sound suffers as a result but it is absolutely excellent in every other way. If we watch no other movie as a family during the Christmas season, we always make sure to watch that one.

    So if you don't know, Statler and Waldorf play the Marley brothers in this version of the story. Waldorf's line, "leave comedy to the bears", is a reference to how the two elderly men always heckle Fozzie Bear's comedy. Also, the first spirit that appears was complicated to film with, to say the least. And by that, I mean, the special effects for it. ALSO, also, there's a song that was cut from the film when it came out in theaters. The VHS release restored it, but subsequent DVD and Blu-ray releases removed it again. Even Disney+ didn't have the full film with the scene intact, but it was recently restored and it's found in the bonus features. Edit: I highly recommend watching the original Muppet Movie and Muppet Treasure Island, especially since Tim Curry is in the latter, and he practically steals the show. Speaking of, if you haven't yet, you should ABSOLUTELY check out The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tim Curry's in that one, too, and let me tell you, it's really something to see. And make sure you check it out in theaters afterward, as that's the BEST way to experience it. You can film a reaction at home to understand the plot and the songs, but in theaters, you gotta participate. They have a mirror cast with the film as the backdrop, you gotta shout specific lines at certain points, bring certain props, and of course, you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to do the Time Warp. People are gonna pull you outta your seat whether you wanna do it or not.

    This was the first Muppet movie to be made after the death of Jim Henson. As a result Kermit in this movie is portrayed by Steve Whitmire who had worked a performer for the Muppets for 12 years going all the way back to the original Muppet show when he was a teenager

      Yes, but unfortunately Brian Henson only did a decent job of keeping his dad’s business going.

And they didn’t come out with another Muppet movie 12 years after that one

    The Love we Found that was sung at the end of the film was a reply to the song The Love is Gone. This was sung during Belle’s breakup with Scrooge, and it beautifully told this moment in his life that developed his character. Only Disney cut it out as it was deemed “too depressing”. Still haven’t forgiven them for that!

    This was the first Muppet movie after Jim Henson's passing in 1990 and even if Steve Whitmire have been performed Kermit since The Muppets Tribute to Jim Henson, he felt not confident about doing Kermit for the movie. With this worry in mind, he went to bed and had a dream where he was in a hotel lobby and met Jim. Whitmire told him about being non-confident about it and Henson told him not to worry about it, left saying that he had to go. When Steve woke up, he felt much better and that he could perform Kermit for this movie.

Which is why you would wish someone a merry Christmas AND a happy new year.

    Not only was Frank Oz voice of Yoda but George Lucas actually went to Jim Henson and Frank Oz and asked them to create Yoda which means that Yoda is part of the Muppet family. If you liked this movie then please give other Muppet movies a chance. The best place to begin is with "The Muppet Movie" (1979). Also "The Muppet Show" which ran from 1974 to 1981 is great to watch and you can watch them in any order you want and you can watch as many or as few of them as you want. "The Great Muppet Caper" (1981) and "The Muppet Treasure Island" (1996) are great ones too. I grew up with the Muppets and I loved watching them.
