And now, a word from Gonzo: Greetings, holiday movie fans and lovers of culture, I am Gonzo … or perhaps better known to fans of this classic motion picture as literary legend Charles Dickens. Are you ready to laugh, cry, sing, frolic, cavort and enjoy yourself beyond belief!? Well, you’re in luck, because this 20th Anniversary Edition of Disney’s “The Muppet Christmas Carol” is guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit that will stay with you forever—or at least until your Aunt Edna starts complaining that nobody is eating the fruitcake she brought … again!
Available for the first time ever on Blu-ray with high definition sound and picture, so you can enjoy even more of my blue-ness, not to mention the incredible spectacle of Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Academy Award® winner Michael Caine (Best Supporting Actor, 1999, “The Cider House Rules”) as Scrooge, wonderful songs by Oscar® winner Paul Williams (Best Original Song, 1976, “Evergreen” from “A Star Is Born”) and, of course, my pal Rizzo the Rat as … well, Rizzo the Rat.
This is a heartwarming and hilarious holiday classic, told as never before by yours truly! Yule love it!

I love watching and re-watching holiday movies every year! Why not this year check out the classic The Muppet Christmas Carol or introduce your kids is to it this year. Every since the Muppet movie was in theaters, my kids have been hooked. So I was excited to share this movie with them. I honestly don't remember it, nor my hubby, but it did not disappoint!
Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol has appeared many times in various formats with a variety of characters portraying the cast. But there is something about singing rats or the chef and his chickens clucking out holiday tunes that make me smile and love this rendition of the tale! Be prepared to smile, laugh and sing along with this movie!
