The Muppet Christmas Carol Review | XMAS FILM
09:00
Each Friday in December I'll be reviewing some classic Christmas films which are bound to get you in the festive season. First we'll be kicking things off with The Muppet Christmas Carol.
I think everyone knows the tale of A Christmas Carol and this version is no different except it's with a muppet twist. Michael Caine stars as Scrooge, Gonzo as Charles Dickens and Kermit as Bob Cratchit.
This film is probably one of the most famous muppet movies and you can tell its loved by everybody because it's nearly always on TV. It's a great family film and everyone will find something they'll love about it. For children it's still educational and fun with the catchy songs however its still got the jokes and the nostalgia for the adults.
Michael Caine does a fabulous job as Scrooge but the real selling point is Gonzo as Charles Dickens and Rizzo who helps him narrate the movie. This film really made me fall in love with Gonzo as a child as I thought he was just absolutely hilarious!
This film will instantly make you feel Christmassy, the settings are fantastic, the music is great and you'll find jokes that you probably missed the time before. You can't go wrong!
Whats your favourite Christmas film?
