This is the best version of a christmas carol not just because it was muppets but how serious Michael Caine played Scrooge was very amazing he acted like the muppets were actual people not muppets
Michael Caine clearly loved working on this. He took it just seriously enough so that Scrooge's meaness stood out and was able to be taken seriously yet still had Michael Caine's gentle charm to it that made him fit in with the Muppets.
This is my all-time favorite Christmas movie period. The songs, the jokes, the emotions . . . it's all here. It still tears me up inside to hear the speech from Kermit after Tim's death knowing that the entire cast and crew were all feeling the absence of Jim and probably thought of him immediately when the phrase 'first parting among us' was said. Truly beautiful film! I love your reviews and the outtakes afterwards! However, now I'm stuck with the image of Scrooge texting Belle "I want to put my spoon in your Christmas pudding, love." Thanks!
The only reason Caine took the role of Scrooge was because the director promised him that they would treat this like a shakespearen play. Thats why Caine's scrooge is so iconic.
This was the movie I watched in 2nd grade while my friend wrote a horror story with me. Yes, this movie. In 2nd grade. Compelled 8-year-olds to write a whole horror story where everyone but the main character dies. This movie.
About to link send this vid to everyone on my digital Xmas card list for the 2nd year in a row, to swagger jack the cinema sins dude's Xmas cheer, and hopefully make someone laugh on the account that they have the same sense of humor as me & this dude, just 10 days b4 Xmas while crossing my fingers that they are even feeling festive, with the hope's that they even remember, care about the Muppets, or the dag on Christmas Charol story in general.... Sin count = 9 "ding!"🛎 Thanks for always having one of the best channel's out there my dude, your work is appreciated.... Happy Holidays 🎅🎄🎬🛎
11:32 We've watched this movie every Christmas since my kids were born (14 years ago) and just this year my daughter brings this part up. "Shouldn't there be some kind of hybrid thing in there, like what the dragon and Donkey had in Shrek?" 😂😂
Michael Caine told Brian Henson he was going to play Scrooge as if it was a London stage production, ignoring the fact that he was acting with Muppets.
Sin 32 - "How long has Bob been working for scrooge?" It is stated in Scrooges song he's getting worse so maybe banning Christmas to his employees is new.
Jeremy's laugh when the puppets face gets bashed in (10:30) starts joyful and ends in super villain, which is exactly why I enjoy Cinema Sins, the attention to detail.
What I love about this little bit is that group of characters were a real act in the show. Bobby Benson and his baby band. Like Wayne and Wanda, every time they tried to perform, something went wrong so this is a nice little detail they added.
I feel like he had to make this because to NOT make a video about this namedrop of an AMAZING film in a way is a sin in itself. Everyone will watch an A Muppet Christmas Carol video, no matter what it is. Because it's that good a film.
I'd, agree, but then I remember muppets in space, muppets most wanted, muppets wizard of oz, and the creepy muppets docu-sitcom from a few years ago, so yes, the muppets are sinnable.
The fact he removed a sin because it was in memory of Jim Henson and Richard Hunt already made me appreciate the video. I would've removed 5, but that's because I'm a softy.
@@TheGuardDuck He wishes people would stop thinking he was a girl just because he is a male calico and so devilishly handsome. Seriously though when I ask he just talks in his native feline tongue frantically. From what I can tell he says there is nothing to be afraid of. But then again he has been known to be wrong, from time to time.
But bring The Gender wage gap. Does this guy know pay is based I hours not gender and men to and get paid less then women he compares Scrooge tgroughing around his money to issues that do not exist
He says Scrooge was an idiot for not realizing... HE WAS IN DENIAL, or aware and tried to act like it wasn't him. All this begging before the gravestone scene wouldn't even make sense. Even I did get this as a kid.
Knowing this is one of Jeremys favorite Xmas movie adds to my enjoyment of this video. And I hope he Watches Klaus with his wife because it’s almost as delightful as this.(sincast)
It's fun when he watches movies he actually enjoys. You can always tell the movies he REALLY hated and sometimes those are kind of sad rather than funny after a while.
Shaolin K if you mean Klaus then yes it’s Fantastic. Hits all the right Christmas notes, beautiful animation, wonderful voice work, and very fun characters. My favorite animated movie this year.
I'd probably be pissed to if every day I walked through town the whole town organized a flash mob to sing smack about me all the way from my home to my work.
4:32. They told Caine he would be working with Muppets and his response was "I'm going to play this movie like I'm working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink, I will never do anything Muppety. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role and there are no puppets around me."
@UncleMikeNJ Which, considering how painfully unfunny the modern "comedies" where the characters are all buds laughing with each other, was a great decision.
Misdirected sin: 3:45 Scrooge doesn't hand out loans. In fact it was stated in the opening song "He charges folks a fortune for his dark and drafty houses." So this would make him slumlord.
MD Jester he hands out high interest loans and when the people default on them, he takes their homes and rents them out or sells them, no matter the conditions of the homes. He obviously doesn’t maintain them either. He’ll loan to anyone but is very strict and swift on foreclosures (miss one payment and your history) hence the story of them kicking kids out of an orphanage. He’s a combo of a loan shark and a slumlord. Which sadly was very common in Victorian England, as there were little rules to control the banking industry and landlords. Orphanages relied totally on donations to continue. And there was also debtors prison.
Seriously. It is the second best Scrooge film made (the Alastair Simms 1951 being the best). All except for one or two of his criticisms are just petty and idiotic.
@@ashakydd1 He flat out calls it the best Christmas Carole adaptation and possibly best Christmas movie at the end. Are you genuinely getting offended at this?
Biggest sin is all the new releases emit "The Love is Gone" which is so important to the evolution of Scrooge and is the final song's payback. Why would you get rid of the moment that makes Scrooge, Scrooge
Bruce Whitaker the dvd we have gives the option of watching with or without. We also had the original vhs and never knew they cut it in later releases. I was 9 when I first saw and never thought of fast forwarding.
It wouldnt be so integral if the reprise at the end wasn't just a happy version of it. Love ended up being found after he was told he was gone forever.
@@thompompey32 The muppet version does get a number of key things wrong, though. In the book, we feel very sorry for young Ebenezer-as we learn his father refused to let him come home during Christmas Holidays.....until his younger sister intercedes on his behalf. We also see that he eagerly took part in Cbristmas celebrations when he worked for Fezziwig. During Christmas Present, the book spends more time with Fred, where we learn that he will not hear ill of his uncle, no matter what. The book also has a much harsher rebuke of Scrooge's comments about "the surplus population", by the Spirit. Also, in the book, Scrooge doesn't visit Cratchitt on Christmas Day, but instead spends it with his nephew. He then psyches out Cratchitt at work, the next day, before wishing him a Merry Christmas.
@@TheMarcHicksYou are right and I know there is a lot different - Michael Caine says "cooked with his own turkey" rather than "boiled with his own pudding" even! I don't actually teach the book, just use it as an end of term treat and introduction to one of the most important writers in the English language.
I cannot express how relieved I am that there was a breakup song “When Love is Gone.” Watched this on Disney+ recently and thought the Mandela effect had made me imagine an entire musical number.
"It was short. I loved it!" Cinemasins in a nutshell. Also thank goodness you admit that you are Waldorf and Statler. Embrace them. Also it will be how you look in 30 years times. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
People hated that song. Apparently, if you know how to sing seriously, she is actually an AWFUL singer. My mom hated every time it came on. Likely why it was a deleted scene, which wasn't even at the theater.
@@nickcervenka8756 True, as did I. But if you know singing, it's bad. I imagine it was with unfinished (needed retakes) or just not happening due to the actress' lack of talent. Professionally, this is an embarrassment. I'm sure if they'd left it. It'd be remembered for being bad because the critics would poop all over it.
@@TheGuardDuck I liked it and was pissed it was removed. I thought she sounded fine. In the movie I guess if was really as bad as you say. I dont really care how you or the haters feel about it.
"What kind of drugs did they have back then?" Laudanum. It was called laudanum, and it was a tincture of opium containing approximately 10% powdered opium by weight (the equivalent of 1% morphine).
@@AndrewHalliwell No; heroin is a form of opium that has been refined even further than morphine or laudanum to increase its potency, which is why it is so addictive.
@@Dragonrose36 Heroin is not "a form of opium refined further than morphine." Morphine is the active ingredient in opium, and the substrate in the brain which produces the euphoric and analgesic properties of opiates. Heroin is created by acetylating the morphine -- adding nonpolar groups to the morphine so that it crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily. Once inside the brain, it is deacetylated back to morphine to take effect. Heroin is only more potent than morphine because it allows more morphine to get in the brain.
Am I mistaken or is that "shooting star" wishing a Merry Christmas as it is shooting past? It sure does in the German dubbing. Anyways this is the second shooting star the first was in the muppet movie and it became a tradition in subsequent films.
Are you referring to the the stage play that was televised? It featured original and new cast members, multiple narrators, unpredictable sight gags and audience participation. Tim Curry was brilliant, rolling with all the punches, even when the original cast tried to get him to break character.
Borrowed from Stuart Smalley's _Daily Affirmations_ it was an SNL short by Al Franken. O.G. quote was, "I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, & Doggone It, People Like Me!"
For removing "When Love is Gone" from the theatrical release, only having it on the TV version and not making it available on DVD or Blu-Ray (unless you have a older DVD like me), Jeffrey Katzenberg should have 10 sins applied to him.
7:03 That "random" shooting star was a tribute to Jim Henson's memory as well as a callback to the shooting star in The Muppet Movie when Kermit was having a conversation with himself.
Watched this with my kids a couple weeks ago. They loved it so much that we immediately watched The Muppet Movie and now they have Kermit and Miss Piggy plushes under the tree for them. Love how this movie is a gateway drug for my kids into Muppets. And hi, Denee. Merry Christmas.
It's a different property (though also owned by Disney), but to paraphrase Obi-Wan: your kids have taken their first steps into a larger, wonderful world.
I absolutely love the fact that even CinemaSins can't even make fun of The Muppets and the fact that CinemaSins appreciates the Muppet performers. Even the late Jim Henson and Richard Hunt Thank you you made is Puppeteer very happy
Michael Caine actually refused to act like he was in a muppets movie. He said he would take the role but would play it like Shakespeare on stage, which he absolutely did!
I love how much you can tell they had fun with this movie and love it as well. Glad the best Christmas Movie finally got sinned. Now only if there were more muppet movies down the pipeline ready to be sinned please....
I am not a huge fan of musicals either, but I am glad that Jeremy feels the same way I do about them leaving the break up song out of the theatrical cut. The movie doesn't feel as meaningful without it. Glad I saw the VHS release first!
That Scrooge song at the beginning and the Belle song in Beauty and the Beast are cinematic parallels with opposite energies. And Scrooge's love interest was named Belle. Hmmm, coincidence? I think not.
Love, LOVE the sin deduction for the dedication at the beginning. It was particularly tough for me to accept any Muppet work in the aftermath of the loss of both Jim Henson and Richard Hunt (which may explain why Dr Teeth doesn’t speak, Kermit’s role is relatively small, and there is no Scooter or Janice) but looking back on this you can see the heart and soul Brian Henson poured into carrying on his father’s legacy.
A sin for Scrooge using his money to do nice things? His character arc is learning not to be greedy but generous. He had pinched every penny; collected every cent; deposited every dollar. His money muscles as you put them haven't been used for his whole life. Now that he's a changed man, it's time to put them to work.
The whole thing about ghosts like marley was that he was so focused on money he never did ANY good. The punishment being that he would watch the suffering of humanity forever while having lost the power to help. Now that scrooge has changed he will now use what he can do to help.
markermage and rich people spending money is a good thing. Spend it. Spend it in a bunch of places and in ways that actually mean work and good pay for those who need it!
"...deserves to feel sad for once..." Scrooge is sad _all the time_ . It's what makes him a dickwad. Also, in the original, Fred didn't hate him; Fred pitied him. Also also, in the George C Scott version, it makes it clear that Fred's _wife_ mocks Scrooge, and Fred disagrees with it... "...as tight as..." "Your uncle Scrooge's wallet!"
And in the animated Disney one, Donald absolutely loves his uncle but understands his boundaries. He tries to give him a wreath and invites him over for Christmas dinner but isn't terribly upset when he gets turned down because he's too optimistic.
This movie PERFECT and how dare you, I personally am a huge muppet fan also I love how you took a sim off for in honor of jim Also please do muppets most wanted
I mean... I really feel like Scrooge does *know* who the dead person is, at least by the the time they get to the graveyard. He pauses on his way to the grave to tell the spirit that "a life can be made right", in a way that makes it vey clear that he's referring to himself more than this mysterious dead person. Like, there's a difference between being blithely unaware that you're obviously seeing the aftermath of your own death in the future, and knowing but not being willing to accept it until you see definite proof.
I disagree that Scrooge is crying like he wasn’t expecting to see his name on the tombstone. Based on his emotional buildup and dialogue, I would argue that he absolutely knew that it would be his name but was in denial out of sheer horror. When he wipes away the snow, it confirms his fear and dashes any hope of not seeing that. It’s like that dread you feel when a loved one is in a bad accident, waiting, and then having it confirmed that no, they did not survive. That’s the emotional progression of Scrooge in the tombstone scene. And going back, he was aware but in denial of his fate for the previous few scenes as well. He knew that everyone was talking about him, but hung on to that little bit of plausible deniability provided by the other characters playing the pronoun game like a lifeline.
I am a literature teacher and I have read this play a million times with my students and seen plenty of terrible movie versions of the play. This one is hands down the BEST adaptation of the play! It is almost exactly word for word and acted out superbly, despite it being a Muppet movie. That’s what makes it so charming!
Michael Caine is a God damned master.
Also, I always liked gonzo, so this movie and Muppet treasure island are my jam since he is a main character
Not to mention Tim Curry.
I don't think Tim Curry is in this
@@nthgth He's in Muppet Treasure Island.
...and I know for a fact that it was terribly unsafe.
Muppet Treasure Island is a gosh darned classic, and seriously underappreciated.
This is the best version of a christmas carol not just because it was muppets but how serious Michael Caine played Scrooge was very amazing he acted like the muppets were actual people not muppets
Yeah Michael Caine was great in this movie which definitely deserves that sin off
Makes me wonder if he'd treat them the same in real life
TRASHY GAMING And it’s the best because it breaks down a classic story from literature to where kids can understand and enjoy it.
Also the Narrator being a character helps as well.
Michael Caine clearly loved working on this. He took it just seriously enough so that Scrooge's meaness stood out and was able to be taken seriously yet still had Michael Caine's gentle charm to it that made him fit in with the Muppets.

The only sin is it's never on tv anymore. Oh. & it needs "When love is gone" & the extended Marley & Marley bits added back. So three sins.
It's on Disney plus

"When Love is Gone" needs to be added back in: I'm tired of only being able to see the pan and scan rip from the VHS!
It's an extra on Disney+

Low key, this is the best Christmas Carol movie
6:30 killed me
This is actually the first version of A Christmas Carol that I ever saw and thus I always associate Tiny Tim with baby Kermit.
Plus one sin for sinning a high point of my childhood
Minus one sin for the fact that you're aware of how jacked up that is.
Gotta love the small breakdown and pep talk in the beginning because his sinning the muppets
Watched this the other day with my kids. I wondered if "Character has exact amount of coins in a sack" might become a cliché.

Holy shit Jeremy!!. Drink less coffee!!. Sin less, and TALK S L O W E R!!. Merry Christmas!!

Sin 32 - "How long has Bob been working for scrooge?" It is stated in Scrooges song he's getting worse so maybe banning Christmas to his employees is new.
I think since it's supposed to be kind of like a play the Muppets get to break the fourth wall.

Misdirected sin: 3:45
Scrooge doesn't hand out loans. In fact it was stated in the opening song "He charges folks a fortune for his dark and drafty houses."
So this would make him slumlord.
MD Jester he hands out high interest loans and when the people default on them, he takes their homes and rents them out or sells them, no matter the conditions of the homes. He obviously doesn’t maintain them either. He’ll loan to anyone but is very strict and swift on foreclosures (miss one payment and your history) hence the story of them kicking kids out of an orphanage. He’s a combo of a loan shark and a slumlord. Which sadly was very common in Victorian England, as there were little rules to control the banking industry and landlords.

"it's good to be heckling again !"
"it's good to be doing anything again you fool, we're dead !...,"
One of the funniest lines ever.
Jeremy: Sins the Muppets' Christmas Carol.
The Senate: It's treason, then.
Gender wage Gap is based on hour's and men two can. Get paid less stop sinning issues that do not exist
@@osmosisjones4912 what?
Osmosis Jones
What?
Biggest sin is all the new releases emit "The Love is Gone" which is so important to the evolution of Scrooge and is the final song's payback. Why would you get rid of the moment that makes Scrooge, Scrooge
Bruce Whitaker because it was boring and poorly sung. We would always fast forward through it 😂 but I agree.. it’s important to the story
Bruce Whitaker the dvd we have gives the option of watching with or without. We also had the original vhs and never knew they cut it in later releases. I was 9 when I first saw and never thought of fast forwarding.
It wouldnt be so integral if the reprise at the end wasn't just a happy version of it. Love ended up being found after he was told he was gone forever.
It was important, but apparently, she sang it very badly. It was cut even from the theater version.
@@TheGuardDuck that cant be the real reason, they left Tiny Tim's weird singing in, why would they not like hers. Lol
Even he doesn't know what's he is doing anymore. This video was good even though the muppets is great.
It's under 100 sins so he likes the film
@@priscillajimenez27 If Jeremy didn't pad the run time on these videos a lot of them would be under 100 sins.
My teacher showed us this movie as the “most accurate” version of the book to teach us about solidarity.
NoochTV It still comes pretty dang close compared to many of the adaptations
Patrick Stewart version is the most accurate version of Christmas Carol out there.
There are so many direct quotes from the book itself. I'm a primary school teacher and I show this to my class every year.
@@thompompey32 The muppet version does get a number of key things wrong, though. In the book, we feel very sorry for young Ebenezer-as we learn his father refused to let him come home during Christmas Holidays.....until his younger sister intercedes on his behalf. We also see that he eagerly took part in Cbristmas celebrations when he worked for Fezziwig.
During Christmas Present, the book spends more time with Fred, where we learn that he will not hear ill of his uncle, no matter what. The book also has a much harsher rebuke of Scrooge's comments about "the surplus population", by the Spirit. Also, in the book, Scrooge doesn't visit Cratchitt on Christmas Day, but instead spends it with his nephew. He then psyches out Cratchitt at work, the next day, before wishing him a Merry Christmas.
@@TheMarcHicksYou are right and I know there is a lot different - Michael Caine says "cooked with his own turkey" rather than "boiled with his own pudding" even!
I don't actually teach the book, just use it as an end of term treat and introduction to one of the most important writers in the English language.
Also, anyone who didn't cry at the breakup song or when the scene pans to the empty Tiny Tim chair, is a heartless bastard.
They got rid of the breakup song in all the modern recuts!
@@TheLastComa which is so dumb!! the repise makes no sense!
@@TheLastComa there's a dvd available with the extended cut. You just have to play the full screen version
@@TheLastComa Why?
I cannot express how relieved I am that there was a breakup song “When Love is Gone.” Watched this on Disney+ recently and thought the Mandela effect had made me imagine an entire musical number.
“What kind of drugs did they have back then?” Opium, they had lots and lots of opium, and it was incredibly easy to get.
Cocaine had been around for about 20 years at the point that Dickens penned the original story too.
Asha cocaine would not be a very good drug to take to help you fall asleep though.
Likely might have been laudanum
My thoughts exactly lol
Laudanum was 10% opium, plus some morphine, codeine, and alcohol. 🥴🤤😴😴😴
"I'm adding 5 sins for the existence of Marky Mark. Some things are just outta my control" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
J tree rr. It’s just literally loll so that’s

OOOOOOOOO

WOAAAHHHHH
*I like how Jeremy doesn't say Kermit and just goes with the names in the original just like the movie of the Muppets Christmas Carol*
Me either!
The only sinnable offense is the omission of the love is gone from post VHS and first run tv airings.
Yeah, why'd that get rid of that song? It's such a good moment.
People hated that song. Apparently, if you know how to sing seriously, she is actually an AWFUL singer. My mom hated every time it came on. Likely why it was a deleted scene, which wasn't even at the theater.
@@TheGuardDuck people also really liked the song and were pissed they took it out.
@@nickcervenka8756 True, as did I. But if you know singing, it's bad. I imagine it was with unfinished (needed retakes) or just not happening due to the actress' lack of talent. Professionally, this is an embarrassment. I'm sure if they'd left it. It'd be remembered for being bad because the critics would poop all over it.
@@TheGuardDuck I liked it and was pissed it was removed. I thought she sounded fine. In the movie I guess if was really as bad as you say. I dont really care how you or the haters feel about it.
"What kind of drugs did they have back then?"
Laudanum. It was called laudanum, and it was a tincture of opium containing approximately 10% powdered opium by weight (the equivalent of 1% morphine).
Actually, wasn't Laudenum a tincture of heroin in alcohol?
@@AndrewHalliwell No; heroin is a form of opium that has been refined even further than morphine or laudanum to increase its potency, which is why it is so addictive.
@@Dragonrose36...so, it's _ether_ that or...
@@Dragonrose36 Heroin is not "a form of opium refined further than morphine." Morphine is the active ingredient in opium, and the substrate in the brain which produces the euphoric and analgesic properties of opiates. Heroin is created by acetylating the morphine -- adding nonpolar groups to the morphine so that it crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily. Once inside the brain, it is deacetylated back to morphine to take effect. Heroin is only more potent than morphine because it allows more morphine to get in the brain.
@@amityislandchum Okay. Forgive me for not knowing the intricacies of heroin manufacture.
Scrooge: "How would the bookkeepers like to be suddenly..... UNEMPLOYED!!"
Rats: "HEATWAVE!!!!"
THIS IS MY ISLAND IN THE SUN!
The shooting star that’s sinned is actually a tribute to Jim Henson
wait, it was? I've seen that shooting star in so many movie night skies that I thought it was a cliche.
Elle En I want to kick his ass for sinning that scene and this whole movie
I don’t get people who know what this channel is and still get pissed at it?
Am I mistaken or is that "shooting star" wishing a Merry Christmas as it is shooting past? It sure does in the German dubbing. Anyways this is the second shooting star the first was in the muppet movie and it became a tradition in subsequent films.
Can you pleeeaaase do The Rocky Horror Picture Show? (the real one, not the stupid remake lol)
There's a remake? The original is with Tim curry right?
@@triciaramgoolam4045 That's right, the remake came out in 2016.
@@margaretrandy4698 I haven't seen it. But something tells me it can't beat the original.
@@triciaramgoolam4045 I mean it's not a terrible movie objectively, but a remake of such an amazing movie is never going to live up the original
Are you referring to the the stage play that was televised? It featured original and new cast members, multiple narrators, unpredictable sight gags and audience participation. Tim Curry was brilliant, rolling with all the punches, even when the original cast tried to get him to break character.
" I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and people hate me" is probably the best personal aspiration I have ever heard
Borrowed from Stuart Smalley's _Daily Affirmations_ it
was an SNL short by Al Franken. O.G. quote was,
"I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough,
& Doggone It, People Like Me!"
For removing "When Love is Gone" from the theatrical release, only having it on the TV version and not making it available on DVD or Blu-Ray (unless you have a older DVD like me), Jeffrey Katzenberg should have 10 sins applied to him.
7:03 That "random" shooting star was a tribute to Jim Henson's memory as well as a callback to the shooting star in The Muppet Movie when Kermit was having a conversation with himself.
The fact that Jeremy starts this episode question why he's sinning this glorious movie always makes me laugh.
seriously your comment gets 9 likes after 10 days, mine has gotten 1 like in 2 years!
Proves Jeremy has a heart after all.
Watched this with my kids a couple weeks ago. They loved it so much that we immediately watched The Muppet Movie and now they have Kermit and Miss Piggy plushes under the tree for them. Love how this movie is a gateway drug for my kids into Muppets.
And hi, Denee. Merry Christmas.
It's a different property (though also owned by Disney), but to paraphrase Obi-Wan: your kids have taken their first steps into a larger, wonderful world.
I absolutely love the fact that even CinemaSins can't even make fun of The Muppets and the fact that CinemaSins appreciates the Muppet performers. Even the late Jim Henson and Richard Hunt Thank you you made is Puppeteer very happy
Michael Caine actually refused to act like he was in a muppets movie. He said he would take the role but would play it like Shakespeare on stage, which he absolutely did!
"Light the lamp not the rat!!"
"What are you doing?! Put me out! Put me out! Put me out! Put me out! Put me out!"
@@JCBro-yg8vd "Rizzo!"
@@Navesblue "What?! Aaaahhhhh! Ah, t-t-thank you."
JCBro2014 “You’re welcome!”
Rizzo, "Thank you for making me a part of this." - Another one of my favorite parts.🤣🤣🤣
I love how much you can tell they had fun with this movie and love it as well. Glad the best Christmas Movie finally got sinned.
Now only if there were more muppet movies down the pipeline ready to be sinned please....
Lmfao. How tf you wright this from 18hrs ago?😂
He’s Patron
I am not a huge fan of musicals either, but I am glad that Jeremy feels the same way I do about them leaving the break up song out of the theatrical cut. The movie doesn't feel as meaningful without it. Glad I saw the VHS release first!
I love that even though he’s sinning, it’s so clear Jeremy loves this movie
That Scrooge song at the beginning and the Belle song in Beauty and the Beast are cinematic parallels with opposite energies. And Scrooge's love interest was named Belle. Hmmm, coincidence? I think not.
I thought i was the only one to notice. The ending of scrooge and belle lol
Scrooge loved money, which is sometimes called Mamon.
Scrooge lost his Beauty because he was too in love with the Beast.
Love, LOVE the sin deduction for the dedication at the beginning. It was particularly tough for me to accept any Muppet work in the aftermath of the loss of both Jim Henson and Richard Hunt (which may explain why Dr Teeth doesn’t speak, Kermit’s role is relatively small, and there is no Scooter or Janice) but looking back on this you can see the heart and soul Brian Henson poured into carrying on his father’s legacy.
Where's the love for my main man Sam the Eagle?
"Your future is as sturdy as this very building."
CRASH "Hmm. I've been meaning to fix that shelf..."
"It is the American way!"
**whisper whisper*
"It is the British way!"
"Remember, never tip the driver. "
'Today, you become a man of BUSINESS'
"Yes Headmaster."
One of my all time favourite movie lines!
A sin for Scrooge using his money to do nice things? His character arc is learning not to be greedy but generous. He had pinched every penny; collected every cent; deposited every dollar. His money muscles as you put them haven't been used for his whole life. Now that he's a changed man, it's time to put them to work.
The whole thing about ghosts like marley was that he was so focused on money he never did ANY good. The punishment being that he would watch the suffering of humanity forever while having lost the power to help.
Now that scrooge has changed he will now use what he can do to help.
markermage and rich people spending money is a good thing. Spend it. Spend it in a bunch of places and in ways that actually mean work and good pay for those who need it!
"...deserves to feel sad for once..."
Scrooge is sad _all the time_ . It's what makes him a dickwad.
Also, in the original, Fred didn't hate him; Fred pitied him. Also also, in the George C Scott version, it makes it clear that Fred's _wife_ mocks Scrooge, and Fred disagrees with it... "...as tight as..." "Your uncle Scrooge's wallet!"
George C. Scott one is my favorite version :) I watch it every year with my daaaad
Fred's wife was that tight? Daaamn.
And in the animated Disney one, Donald absolutely loves his uncle but understands his boundaries. He tries to give him a wreath and invites him over for Christmas dinner but isn't terribly upset when he gets turned down because he's too optimistic.
This movie PERFECT and how dare you, I personally am a huge muppet fan also I love how you took a sim off for in honor of jim
Also please do muppets most wanted
Commander Rico muppets from space
Jonathan Parks when did they remove “the love is gone” from the film? I’ve never seen a version without it. And why would they remove it?
I mean... I really feel like Scrooge does *know* who the dead person is, at least by the the time they get to the graveyard. He pauses on his way to the grave to tell the spirit that "a life can be made right", in a way that makes it vey clear that he's referring to himself more than this mysterious dead person. Like, there's a difference between being blithely unaware that you're obviously seeing the aftermath of your own death in the future, and knowing but not being willing to accept it until you see definite proof.
In the DVD audio comentary by Brian Henson he said that Michael Caine actually DID play Scrooge like he totally knew it was his grave.
I disagree that Scrooge is crying like he wasn’t expecting to see his name on the tombstone. Based on his emotional buildup and dialogue, I would argue that he absolutely knew that it would be his name but was in denial out of sheer horror. When he wipes away the snow, it confirms his fear and dashes any hope of not seeing that. It’s like that dread you feel when a loved one is in a bad accident, waiting, and then having it confirmed that no, they did not survive. That’s the emotional progression of Scrooge in the tombstone scene. And going back, he was aware but in denial of his fate for the previous few scenes as well. He knew that everyone was talking about him, but hung on to that little bit of plausible deniability provided by the other characters playing the pronoun game like a lifeline.
Do everything wrong with the new Grinch animated movie OR the giver plz
New grinch movie this movie exists *ding*
Thx we need to smam this so he sees it
The old one is creepy as hell
Yes. The giver. It's awesome. I would love to see him sin it.
@@conneroutdoors2643 Who actually likes the 2000 rendition of it? Honestly?
I am a literature teacher and I have read this play a million times with my students and seen plenty of terrible movie versions of the play. This one is hands down the BEST adaptation of the play! It is almost exactly word for word and acted out superbly, despite it being a Muppet movie. That’s what makes it so charming!
“Despite”?? Muppets have only ever elevated everything they’ve touched
This movie is the best ever 😁😁
