20 years after its original release, The Muppet Christmas Carol will return to the big screen on brand new digital prints, courtesy of British distributors Park Circus, introducing the new generation of Muppet fans to one of the greatest Christmas tales ever told, in the way only Kermit and friends can tell it.
Brian Henson directs his late father's creations in the Charles Dickens classic. Michael Caine, in a truly great performance, plays the old miser Scrooge with Kermit as his long-suffering but ever-hopeful employee Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Cratchit's wife, and a host of Muppets (including the Great Gonzo as an unlikely Charles Dickens) taking other primary roles in this bright, playful adaptation of the sombre tale. Or at least it starts brightly enough--the anarchic humor soon settles into mirthful memories and a sense of melancholy as the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future take Scrooge on a journey of his lonely, wasted life.
The Muppet Christmas Carol returns to UK cinemas from 23 November 2012.
Note: In the U.S., The Muppet Christmas Carol will be available to purchase on Blu-ray on November 6th, courtesy of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
