Truly one of the best interpretations of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol"!
THE best adaptation of it, IMO.
And one of the most accurate to the litterary source.
@@marcusfridh8489 the Disney Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey is most accurate to the book IMO. My friend and I saw it in theaters and it was genuinely creepy for being a Disney Christmas movie.. but next to that, the Muppets is definitely a close second.
@@ElizabethDeAmicis The Royal Dickens Society considers this Muppet version to tbe the most accurate: I'll trust them as THE authority on accuracy. But in any case, Jim Carrey is NOT The Muppets, so by default will always come in second.
@@themidsouthcyclist8880 that’s why I said IMO. In my opinion and my experience reading/studying the book. The most accurate adaptation from page to screen is the Jim Carrey one. It’s basically verbatim both in word and imagery. That’s not a diss on The Muppets. The Muppets is still one of the best versions and has the most heart.
All of the songs are written for the film and are done by Paul Williams who also did the original film's songs. The song that was cut was When Love is Gone.
It's at the part where Scrooge and his girl are breaking up. Was cut because though they loved it, it was pretty long and slowed down the pace some. Other releases have had it put back in the years since initial home video release, but you gotta find the right ones. (I got the 20th anniversary dvd that has both versions)
@@tallyp.7643 It made no sense to remove the song, since it made the reprisal When Love Is Found less meaningful, all whilst keeping Martina McBride's version of When Love Is Gone in the end credits. And it gave Rizzo less reason to be sobbing at the sight of the breakup; after about 53 seconds of screentime Scrooge and Belle share with the song cut out.
Amazing. My old vhs tape had when love is gone on it. I was intrigued to hear a new song, but I guess I just lucked out that my grandma must have bought the secondary release edition way back when.
Disney+ added the song back in this month! If you go into the movie and go to the “extras” section, you can watch the full theatrical released version with the song added back in
@@ElizabethDeAmicis Except it would make more sense to call it the home video release than the theatrical release, since the latter _didn't_ have the song.
This was an especially important film for the Muppets, as their first full project since the death of Jim Henson which would be a sign of whether the brand would be able to continue without him. And Steve Whitmire had an especially intimidating job, taking over Kermit while also having to perform some heavy emotional scenes with very un-Kermit lines straight from the book, on top of his also sizable role as Rizzo. Then he had a dream where Henson told him he'd be great in the role, and it came true. The movie was a huge hit, and even also revived Michael Caine's career as he'd suffered a bunch of flops in the '80s that had many wondering if he was done after aging out of the roles he'd first built his career on.
I think they should have done every great work of literature with Muppets. It's a shame we only have this and Treasure Island.
It makes the speech Kermit gives after Tiny Tim’s death even more crushing.
I hadn’t heard the story about his dream. That’s so beautiful.
One of the funniest and cutest Muppet movies ever made!
People have said that this is the best adaptation of the story.
Jim Henson was going to direct the film, but passed away in 1990, and his son Brian directed the film in his father's memory.
12:08 - I don't know why in all the years I've watched this I never caught Scrooge's "This is Fozziwigg's old rubber chicken factory!" line - something hilarious about Michael Caine saying that was complete seriousness lmao
Works so well because caine is treating it as a "normal" movie.
This is one of my favourite adaptations of the story. Michael Caine playing this as a serious role makes the film, and that makes the Muppet scenes, like Beaker giving Scrooge his scarf or where Tiny Tim has died, all the more emotional.
My fave is that Michael required his part be played so seriously in this movie. A true king!
I love the Muppets! 🥰🌈
So, who is your favorite? Mine is fozzie and grover.
@@mrvideotape8911 Animal and the Swedish Chef. 😊
If you love Muppet classic stories, Muppet Treasure Island Is also really good!
Fun fact: the ghost of Christmas yet to come was originally supposed to pull his hood down to reveal it was Animal the whole time but instead they decided to keep that a relatively serious moment and kept him an anonymous
Actually it was originally going to be Gonzo, with just his nose sticking out of the robe.
So if you haven't seen them the Muppet films I recommend watching are The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, and Muppet Treasure Island. The first two have a lot of celebrity cameos.
Also the scene of Scrooge being given the scarf always makes me cry.
And if you love some Tim Curry chewing scenery, he's in the Treasure Island movie.
@@tallyp.7643 He should have had a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for that role.
The Muppet Treasure Island soundtrack was a staple when my kids were young!
I love this one, The Muppet movie, and the great Muppet Caper the best.
You did a great job with the editing, Sam. It's nice to see the extended version. I think Scrooge comes across as more sympathetic here because of Michael Caine's performance.
The song, When love is gone was removed from the film.. It's a very important song as it directly mirrors the last song in the film. The love we found.
Michael Caine said he made this for his (then) young kids.He later made Cars 2 for his grand kids
A lot of actors end up in iconic roles for their kids. I think it was Aragorn's actor who said he took the role because his kids wouldn't speak to him if he didn't.
The song that was cut was 'The Love is Gone' because it was deemed too sad for the young audience.
I am so happy that you are watching the version with the "deleted song" re-inserted. ("When Love Is Gone" sung by Belle to a youthful Scrooge as a break-up song.) Although I understand why Disney chose to remove it, even if I don't agree with their reasoning, it is a pivotal moment in the film that doesn't bear the full weight of impact without it.
"God save my little broken body!" Rizzo being abused brings so much levity to Gonzo's narration (as does Gonzo breaking the 4th wall), lightening up dry old Dickens considerably.
"HEY HEY HEY LIGHT THE LAMP NOT THE RAT, LIGHT THE LAMP NOT THE RAT. PUT ME OUT PUT ME OUT PUT ME OUT "
I wouldn’t call Dickens dry! The book has so much humor in it itself imo. But yes, Gonzo and Rizzo are hilarious.
I love the fact that Michael Caine played this as if he was acting with other Shakespearean Actors which is why he is so good as Scrooge.
This is the first movie made after Jim Henson died. Every movie made after this sad event, including this, showed a shooting star at some point. (in this movie it comes after the song "One More Sleep 'Til Christmas"). This is a memorial to Jim.
The Muppets Christmas Carol was Brian Hensons directorial debut. It was the first Muppets film to be produced following the deaths of Muppets creator Jim Henson and performer Richard Hunt; the film is dedicated to both.
The English actors David Hemmings, Ron Moody (Fagin in Oliver), and David Warner and the American comedian George Carlin were considered to portray Ebenezer Scrooge. Henson later offered the role to Michael Caine, who replied: "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."
Production took place at the Shepperton Studios, England. During filming, in order to allow for the Muppets and the human actors to be in the shot, floors had to be removed and re-inserted, with Michael Caine having to walk across narrow planks between the Muppets and their performers.
Well done for watching the extended cut, which features the song “When Love is Gone”. Disney cut this from the theatrical release, as they found it too downbeat.
I will stand my ground and defend it by saying this is the best interpretation of A Christmas Carol. Love the muppets.
Definitely closest to the book.
"If you please Mr. Scrooge, it's gotten colder, and the bookkeeping staff would like to have an extra shovel full of coal for the fire?"
"We can't do the bookkeeping, all our pens have turned to inkcicles!"
"Our assets are frozen!"
"How would the bookkeepers like to be suddenly... UNEMPLOYED?"
"[singing] HEAT WAVE. This is my island in the sun..."
Fun Fact: Before production began, Sir Michael Caine told director Brian Henson he was going to play Scrooge straight. Henson agreed it was a great idea. Sir Michael Caine considers the role of Scrooge to be one of his most memorable (to him).
Torch Passed Fact: This was the first major Muppet project after creator Jim Henson's death. The role of Kermit the Frog was handed down to Steve Whitmire. He said he was incredibly nervous about taking over such an iconic character. The night before he recorded Kermit's songs for the movie, he had a dream where he met Henson in a hotel lobby and told him how unsure he was. In the dream, Henson reassured Whitmire that the feeling would pass. After waking up, Whitmire was confident and able to do the part.
Music Enthusiast Fact: The song "When Love Is Gone" sung by Belle, was dropped from the theatrical release (over the objections of producer and director Brian Henson) at the request of Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, who considered it too sad for young children.) The last-minute decision resulted in a jarring edit in the scene from which it was removed, and caused some confusion about Scrooge, Gonzo, and Rizzo's reactions. The scene was restored in the VHS, LaserDisc, and first DVD (full screen) releases, but it isn't used in television airings, Blu-ray releases, or the Netflix or the original Disney+ version. However, it is available as an "EXTRAS" option on Disney+. In mid-December 2020, Brian Henson announced that the original negatives for the removed scene had been found and would be re-instated (back) into the film, in time for its 30th anniversary in 2022.
As it says in the beginning of the film, this film was in honor of the creator of the Muppets, Jim Henson, since this was the first Muppet project to be made after his passing...so the small eulogy to Tiny Tim in the film is also a bit of a eulogy to Jim from his son Brian (the director of this film) two years after his passing.
The reason Beaker's scarf was so meaningful is that it was likely the first Christmas Present Scrooge got that he didn't immediately assess monetarily!
The music was all original, and composed by Paul Williams, a long time collaborator with the muppets. He wrote 'The Rainbow Connection' for the muppet movie, and was a guest star on the Muppet Show, where he sang his hit song 'Old Fashioned Love Song' with muppets that looked like him. He was also the voice of The Penguin in Batman: The Animated Series, and was the shorter of the two guys that make the wager central to the plot of Smokey and the Bandit.
Please watch more Muppets.
There's a video by Abby Cox that goes into just how absurdly accurate all the clothes are for their respective time periods.
Yay! This made me so happy and what a great reaction! Thank you!
Here's a a fun point...the costumes in this INCLUDING what the Muppets wear are some of the most historically accurate of any period movie, ever. Which means the time and research they put in on creating them is INSANE!
There are several RUclips videos out there that cover the historical details of the costumes, plus one costumer that created Gonzo/Mr. Dickens outfit at the beginning accurately right down to the last button and it's amazing, looks great, and is completely accurate to the time period! Who knew!
Thank you again so much!!
According to Polly Smith, one of the costume designers, a big part of that comes from the fact they actually used real 1840s patterns and designs.
@@megelizabeth9492 Yes!
The version you're watching kept the song in-It's "The Love is Gone" when Belle is dumping Scrooge's a$$!
Paul Williams wrote the songs for this film. He wrote many songs for the Muppets. He also wrote songs for The Carpenters and many other artists including the soundtrack for cult film Bugsy Malone.. Also, he's an actor who has appeared in Smokey and the bandit 1 , 2 and 3 and also he starred in the absolutely must see movie, Phantom of the paradise and he also wrote all the songs for that movie too.
A long forgotten Art - Animatronics & Puppets. But it is so charming and nice. It was perfect for this classic story. But there are many version of this story, that are pretty dark and brutal.
Rip Jim Henson,, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson and Jerry Juhl
Agreed; everything is better with Muppets. And how weird is it that the version with Muppets is more realistic, truer to the Dickens' book, and more genuinely emotionally grounded than was Scrooged?
The Muppet Christmas Carol is my favorite version of a Christmas Carol.
The song which was cut was Belle’s (the girlfriend) song. ‘When Love is Gone’.
Oh good you are watching the extended version with the missing song. Jim Henson hated that Disney removed “The love is gone.” The one Scrooge sings with his love interest that leaves him is the one that was taken out. From it when they put it on Disney Plus. It is important to his character development in this Muppet version.
The Muppets are delightful as always, and Michael Caine is wonderful. This is such a well done retelling of this story.
I watch this every single year, without fail, in 2018, I watched every single verson of a Christmas carol, my family wanted to strangle me......but I've me an watching a Muppets Christmas Carol every year since it came out.....though now my family make me watch it on my own, so I do get some peace and time to myself LMAO
Micheal Caine was a good choice to play Ebenezer Scrooge
I’m with u on someone taking a shot for every time Scrooge says humbug. That would hilarious to watch. 😅😅
My second favorite interpretation of a Christmas Carol number one being the one with alster sim
I watch this every year, just before Christmas. It’s my favourite version of this story ❤️😄🎄
You watching the Muppets Christmas Carol is wholesomeness overload!
The Cut song was "When Love is Gone"
These songs were invented for the muppets
other notable versions with songs
Scrooge (1970 film) also same songs are in the 2022 Neflix animated version
The Stingiest man in town whic also has a live action and animated version
and Mr Magoo's Christmas
The Muppets did Star Wars on The Muppet Show and twice on the 80s version of Muppet Babies
They also did Wizard of Oz and Tresure Island and a few classic mercery rhymes and fairy tales
Star Wars was also parodied by Phinieas and Ferb , Robot Chicken and Family Guy
The song they cut was the depressing one with his girlfriend leaving him. But i think you actually got to see it. In the newer releases that scene just doesnt quite have the impact anymore. Not sure why they removed it.
3 words: Muppet Treasure Island.
Mr Bimble told me so
The best version of Christmas Carol. I was so used to the version with When Love is Gone, I was triggered when I thought it had been cut for TV when I watched it in TV years later. Turns out, it had been cut the whole time, I had just lucked into owning the extended version all these years. Lol. I'm so glad they added it back on Disney +. The reprisal with when love is found doesn't make much sense and having seen the extended so many time, that scene suddenly jumping to Rizzo sobbing out of nowhere is so jarring.
I always watch this movie every Christmas.
I've seen a few people talking about a muppet version of LOTR, with Miss Piggy as Arwen, and Viggo Mortensen reprising his role as Aragorn and play it completely straight, like Micheal Caine here. :)
Actually, an idea I saw online I'd love to see is The Muppets sitting around and playing a Dungeons and Dragons game, and every time they depicted the fictional world of the game, the party would be played by a celebrity guest cast but lip-synching to the corresponding Muppet player's voice.
Both are wonderful ideas and I love them
I had this on VHS and the songs where there except for the love interest's song which was cut out. This is a really good adaptation, but there's one thing they pretty much took out from Scrooge's childhood backstory - In the story his older sister (Nephew Fred's mother) was the only one who cared to bring him home for Christmas, she was the light and joy of his life. But later on she died and that made Scrooge bitter. If I remember it right she died on Christmas and that became one of his reasons to hate it. Well, there is a Muppet version of Treasure Island, Muppet's Treasure Island, with Tim Curry as Long John Silver.
I had one of the rare versions of the VHS that had the song. Until I started seeing reviews talking about a missing scene and song, i had no idea there was a VHS without it. I think it skews the pacing a tiny bit but the song adds so much.
I have this on VHS and the song is NOT cut out in mine, and I watched it religiously as a kid, every year if not multiple times a year. Once I had to get it on DVD because I no longer had a VCR I was shocked and thoroughly upset when that song and scene were just missing! It was an outrage! I'm so happy they finally found the lost footage and re-edited the film to put it back in as it was originally and had been intended to be seen in the first place.
Muppets treasure island is a must
14:00 thats the newly added song
My absolute favorite Christmas movie. I watch it every year. You should watch The Muppets Take Manhattan and The Muppets Wizard of Oz
I think a Muppet remake of Grease would work...
Love your reactions! Came for the Robin Williams stuff and stayed for the variety. Watched Baby Jane and loved it!
You’re too kind!! Thank you!
The best version of Christmas Carol.
Really a classic and the best "Christmas Carol" as far as I'm concerned. The acting, the soundtrack, the jokes, the fidelity to the book (and MUPPETS!!!) are all FANtastic ❤👏🏾🌟👍🏾🤗
Everything the with the Muppet's in it is awesome. I would even watch a Muppet remake of another Michael Caine classic "Jaw's The Revenge''. LOL.
So there's a few behind the scenes things that I want to mention. The first is in the 90s there were three Muppet movies that were produced this was the first and it was after Jim's death( they also lost one of their puppeteers Richard Hunt who died shortly before the release of this film). When getting ready for the release of the film Jeffrey Katzenberg(the K in Dreamworks SKG) being the petty asshole that he frequently is insisted that Brian cut the musical scene involving Belle singing The Breakup Song( a fight that he had tried and lost in The Little Mermaid with Part of Your World). Katzenberg one for the theatrical release but for the home video release Henson reasoned that "it's home video you can fast forward the bloody song put the musical number back in" So on home video, LaserDisc and the first DVD release, they used this extended version but when they started to pump out the Blu-ray copies they couldn't find the master print that had the song . And the theatrical version is the one that ended up on Disney Plus. 2 years ago after scouring the Disney vaults for 28 years they were finally able to find that Master print. They have spent the last 2 years restoring the film as well as cleaning it up to bring it up to the Blu-ray quality that is on Disney Plus. And there is many fans who prefer the extended edition because of the fact that it gives the extra context particularly when they do the reprise When Love is found at the end of the film. The reason that they do the abuse to that poor little bunny, is because apparently during that time the puppeteers were trying to make new Muppets in order to try and boost their ratings as it were. And none of the puppeteers liked the bunny because it was just too stinking cute so anytime they got a chance to beat the hell out of him they did. And yes they definitely beat the hell out of Rizzo too in this movie and it is glorious. If you are looking for unconventional holiday films if you haven't seen them I do recommend the first to Die Hard films, the 1st Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, obviously Gremlins( potentially Gremlins The New Batch although I cannot remember if that one actually takes place during the holiday), Ghostbusters 2 which takes place at New Year's and of course Batman Returns which does take place at Christmas. You can also throw in Shazam which is also a Christmas movie
If you want more Muppets, I must recommend one of the best, Muppets Treasure Island with Tim Curry! Another version of A Christmas Carol that is dearly amazingly underrated is the 2004 Hallmark musical version which is based on the Broadway stage adaption. 🐸🐷🐀👽👴🏻🎄
8:57 "Take a shot every time he says 'Humbug.' I think you would be _pretty,_ pretty done."
Oh, yeah. You'd pass out before the movie was half over.
Sam's personality in that outfit is like hot chocolate after a snowball fight.
Awww thank you!! 🥰♥️
Yes. Give me star wars with muppets! I would pay to see that too. Star Wars: a new toad? Some kind of pun name
Y'know, you're the second reactor I can think of who protested when Gonzo and Rizzo drop out for the Christmas Yet To Come segment.
"Take a drink every time [Scrooge] says 'humbug!' "?
Are you _TRYING_ to give people alcohol poisoning?
Because that would certainly do it!
*The Marleys were dead* 😂😂
From the comments you've made, I know you've watched Scrooged but I don't think you've seen non-musical versions of the original story (which is very short, by the way, and available for free on Google). So many lines from the book have become familiar that people know them by heart.
Early Victorian England, as it began to industrialize and urbanize, was particularly brutal. Dickens knew first-hand how the poor were treated, including being locked up in the poor house for not being able to pay debts. All of his works tried to bring this facet to the public, but the Christmas Carol was by far the most effective.
My favorite of the serious renditions is the 1951 version, free to watch on RUclips: "A Christmas Carol (1951)"
During the Middle Ages, xmas celebrations were more about the feasting, drinking, and wild partying, actually celebrating the pagan winter solstice. There was then a move away from celebrating it in any other way than religious. Charles Dickens' story, written in the 1840's, totally changed this to how we celebrate xmas today, with decorations and gifts, and good cheer to all. (Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, is credited with introducing the German custom of decorating a xmas tree.)
The ghost of xmas present is depicted in the original book (which had color illustrations) as our current idea of Santa, with the fur-lined clothes. But his clothes were green, not red. I understand that Coca-cola in the early 20th century, used Santa in a whole series of ads, which finally created our modern version of Santa.
My Favorite Muppet Movie ❤
You have probably never seen it, and it's almost impossible to find outside of eBay, but there was another 90s Muppets movie that was a collage of old fairy tales and fables called Muppet Classic Theater. I used to have the VHS as a kid and never knew it was so absurdly rare to have. I have never found it on any other platform but it is absolutely worth watching if you are fortunate enough to find a copy! It's one of my personal favorites and I am absolutely positive you'd love it
The best version of A Christmas Carol is Scrooge (1951) with the incomparable Alistair Sim as Scrooge
On14 minutes, the song Belle sings is the one which was cut from the theatrical version.
The Muppets did Treasure Island too, but I haven't seen it.
Rewatching this today as a feel good, really hope you eventually watch Muppet Treasure Island as well
Amazing adaptation!!
Muppet Treasure Island is great but my personal favorite is the original The Muppet Movie (1979). Every theatrical Muppet movie is good though
Defunctland did an incredible 6 part doc on Jim Henson and the Muppets.. it's a must watch even if you've never heard of him.. you'll cry by the end of it.
My favorite Muppet movie.
But the ghost of Christmas past will always be creepy
OMG I would totally pay money to go watch the The Muppet Avengers - all of them right through to End Game! Somebody pitch it to the Russos!
Also if you haven’t seen them already, Muppet Treasure Island, and Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal feature Jim Henson puppet creations but not The Muppets as such.
Hey Sam, you might enjoy the version of "A Christmas Carol" starring Patrick Stewart as Scrooge or even the version with George C. Scott as Scrooge
Great movie. One of my favorite Christmas movies. I just love your videos. After a long day working with one year olds its nice to relax and laugh haha thank you. I watched last night too I just forgot to comment so I'm re watching this morning. Well its morning here in California anyway haha. Love these reactions and keep em coming.
Thank youuuu!!!
The Muppet Movie (1979) is maybe the best starting point for the Muppets... you'll yet to know who's who. actually the Muppet Show is better, but the movie is "how they met" so, it works too.
The Muppet Show diiiid have at least one 'The Stars of Star Wars' episode, as well as Muppet Babies quite often had Star Wars themed episodes :O
A full movie could be quite a delight :>
Question 6:43
Answer 13:59
Try Muppet treasure Island next!
BTW, have you reviewed "Muppet Treasure Island"? Tim Curry, Muppets and _pirates_ ...
...what more could anyone ask for?
:)
It’s now on my list :)
IF there's any song I'll play on repeat for Christmas, it's "Marley & Marley". It's so catchy and funny, even though it's about awful people and awful things. Guess it's a bit of lemon juice to dilute the saccharine sweetness of the bloody Hallmark movies and rom coms on tv every year (hee hee).
I do rather like lemonade with a bit of kick to it.
My favourite Xmas movie. 🖤
I just found your channel, you have a delightful personality. Have a subscription. 👍🏻
You’re too kind!! Thank you so much ♥️
So glad you checked this out1 Please watch Muppet treasure Island
Muppet Treasure Island next!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Please react to the Alistar Sim version. It’s old, but a classic and has the best Scrooge ever! 🙂
There’s a black and white version of it, but also a color one. I have it on DVD.
My favorite version is the Albert Finney version; which doesn't seem to get a lot love for some reason.
Disney making garbage “live action” remakes when they own the muppets and could be doing muppets remakes smh
You should watch the Jim Henson Christmas special that has The Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock characters. It is one where the Muppets go to meet Fozzy’s mother.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
Ugh I fucking love this movie
Have you watched Muppet treasure island? That's another good one
This is really a very good movie I have to see the whole thing at some point. I have discovered it by watching reactions. Your outfit is super fun
Peace
Thank you!!
I'll cop to the unpopular opinion of never particularly liking "A Christmas Carol" or its innumerable offspring but I can't say no to anything with Muppets or Michael Caine.
Michael Caine is awesome as Scrooge
Of course you didn't like Scrooge, no one is supposed to (except other misers looking for hints on how to be a better miser).
Fun fact: watch the store names for Micklewhite. That is the real name of Michael Caine (Maurice Micklewhite).
Does anyone know whether this extended version with Belle’s cut song exists on Blu-ray Disc?
