"The Muppet Christmas Carol" Movie Review

There are about one million versions of "A Christmas Carol", including the original written by Charles Dickens in 1843. This version is one of my favorites.

Narrated and hosted by Gonzo posing as Charles Dickens, we follow Scrooge, played by Michael Caine, through his adventures with the ghosts Past, Present, and Yet to Come (this movie has the scariest one in it!). There are joyful bursts of song, one of which, entitled "The Love Is Gone", is absolutely beautiful, and, of course, the wonderful muppets make an appearance!
