    This was an AMAZING version of the classic tale. Surprisingly faithful. It didn’t shy away from the darker story elements, yet it never fully lost its almost childlike sense of whimsy. Truly captured the spirit of Christmas! I hope you enjoyed my The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) movie reaction & commentary

    The missing song has been restored! You can watch it on Disney + if you go to "extras" and click on "full length version". Why do you think they didn't just make that the default?

      They didn't make it default because they cut it for a reason. I had this movie on VHS and as a child I would always FF through The Love is Gone. As an adult I think the song is fine, but this movie is primarily a kids movie and the song just isn't fun for kids.

      @Riley Garraway, I have not put this movie in my top 10 Christmas movies, but I do like it. When I heard my cousin's littlest girl out of five say it was her favorite movie, I watched it again and really enjoyed all of it. I guess when someone special loves something you love it more. Christina, Katie, Anna, Debbie (the littlest is little Debbie), and Sarah (the youngest).

      @Riley Garraway, not a real explanation so much as how the movie meant more to me when thinking of a little girl loving it. I guess I watched "The Muppets" as a kid and so watching the movie when older it meant little, but after seeing it with a child's eyes I loved it.
      But another thing happened too.
      "Who will love my children?" when a little boy refuses to be adopted by rich parents because then no one will love and adopt his disabled brother and so the rich family adopted both, but when the boy of four was explaining his older brother at six years old and his decision it made me cry.
      "Schindler's List" when he mentioned how the ring and car could have saved more, I cried because that wasn't how his spirit was in the book at all.
      "The Muppet Christmas Carol" during the second viewing and thinking of Sarah made me cry when Kermit was explaining Tiny Tim's opinion in church of how he helped people remember how Jesus had healed the crippled, gave sight to the blind... I cried again for the third time in a movie. I was working to teach autistic children to talk and six of them had become indistinguishable due to my efforts, but then Jesus will get the ones I missed or failed. Somehow thinking of a little one hearing it and thus listening more carefully I got into the emotion of it more.

    Such a delight to watch you react to this one! This is arguably the best Muppet movie ever made, and probably the best version of A Christmas Carol as well (although the Alistair Sim version gives it a run for the money). It strikes just the right balance between being faithful to the original book (much of Scrooge's dialogue and Gonzo's narration are direct quotes), and new material (the songs, the Marley brothers, Rizzo's comic relief). Michael Caine's playing the role so seriously against the whimsicalness that is the Muppets is absolute perfection.
    The surreal appearance of the Ghost of Christmas Past, while not exactly accurate to the book, IMHO comes the closest to achieving the *feel* of that particular spirit. As the novel describes it: "It was a strange figure -- like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions. Its hair, which hung about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age; and yet the face had not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. The arms were very long and muscular; the hands the same, as if its hold were of uncommon strength. Its legs and feet, most delicately formed, were, like those upper members, bare. It wore a tunic of the purest white, and round its waist was bound a lustrous belt, the sheen of which was beautiful. It held a branch of fresh green holly in its hand; and, in singular contradiction of that wintry emblem, had its dress trimmed with summer flowers. But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible; and which was doubtless the occasion of its using, in its duller moments, a great extinguisher for a cap, which it now held under its arm.
    "Even this, though, when Scrooge looked at it with increasing steadiness, was not its strangest quality. For as its belt sparkled and glittered now in one part and now in another, and what was light one instant, at another time was dark, so the figure itself fluctuated in its distinctness: being now a thing with one arm, now with one leg, now with twenty legs, now a pair of legs without a head, now a head without a body: of which dissolving parts, no outline would be visible in the dense gloom wherein they melted away. And in the very wonder of this, it would be itself again; distinct and clear as ever."

    "Our assets are frozen!"
    "How would the bookkeepers like to be suddenly... UNEMPLOYED?"

    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).
    Touch 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.

Same with Treasure Island. But as much as I like it, after watching so many versions of it every year, there are just a few things I wish they added:
    1. Never cut the song “When Love Is Gone” from the theatrical release
    2. Scooter as a background character
    3. Additional ghostly Muppets for the Marley brothers’ song
    4. Background between Scrooge and his family. Especially his sister.

    oh I love this movie so so much. You should check out the making of, because it's fascinating to see the planks Michael and the humans have to walk and all the muppet humans down below. If you like musicals, Into the Woods (stage production is on yt, not the movie) & Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat are fantastic feels.

    The Ghost of Christmas Past in this movie is arguably the closest to Dickens’ version of the ghost in any movie.

    Love your reactions. You always show how watching films can be emotional and therapeutic. This is my second favorite adaptation of A Christmas Carol behind the 1951 version with Alistair Sim. I'm looking forward to seeing you react to Scrooged though.

      YES! Love is found is a very good song, but following love is gone elevates it’s status exponentially. It’s a real shame it was cut for so long.

      @The Viewing Room is the version in full frame or wide screen? At any rate the song is now included on Disney + BUT you have to look in the extras section and watch the "full movie" which is kind of silly if you ask me.

    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. 🐸🐷🐀👽👴🏻🎄

    aw dude this is one of my favorite movies, still. I listened to the Jim Henson biography and I cannot recommend it enough. Also behind the scenes to this and the Labyrinth are usually on youtube and soooo worth the watch. The muppet actors reacting to caine and caine talking about working with the muppets... just so fun to watch.

    @emilythorkildson8514 Год назад

    This version of A Christmas Carol is so fantastic! Gonzo and Rizzo's scenes never fail at making me laugh. And in case you were wondering, the reason the Ghost of Christmas Past looks the way it does is because they shot the puppet in water, to get that "ghostly" effect with the movement of its clothes and hair.

  • @laurabrewes1422

    A Muppet Christmas Carol got the ghost of Christmas past closest to the book description. I love it. It's described as so beautiful, but Scrooge also fears to look at it's light.

    The Dark Crystal is a necessary muppets sort of movie.
    The ending song was a call back to an earlier song .
    We are sorry that you got a version that missed one of the most important parts.
    You might have had the waterworks turn on, when you saw this.
    The part that's missing out of almost every copy out there. When Disney got their claws into it, they cut this song apparently because it was too much of a downer.
    It gives a much bigger impact to the movie.
    When Love Is Gone (4:09)
    ruclips.net/video/RbawsayImds/видео.html
    - - - - -
    There was a time when I was sure
    That you and I were truly one
    That our future was forever
    And would never come undone
    And we came so close to being close
    And though you cared for me
    There's distance in your eyes tonight
    So we're not meant to be
    The love is gone
    The love is gone
    The sweetest dream
    That we have ever known
    The love is gone
    The love is gone
    I wish you well
    But I must leave you now alone
    There comes a moment in your life
    Like a window and you see
    Your future there before you
    And how perfect life can be
    But adventure calls with unknown voices
    Pulling you away
    Be careful or you may regret
    The choice you make someday
    When love is gone
    When love is gone
    The sweetest dream
    That we have ever known
    When love is gone
    When love is gone
    I wish you well
    But I must leave you now alone
    [BELLE and OLD SCROOGE]
    It was almost love
    It was almost always
    It was like a fairytale we'd live out
    You and I
    And yes some dreams come true
    And yes some dreams fall through
    [BELLE]
    And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye
    Yes some dreams come true
    Yes some dreams fall through
    And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye

I have always watched the Alber Finny version ( a musical) set in Victorian times but could not really enjoy the George C, Scott version.
    Awesome pic I forgot how much I love the version. and yes Bill Murrays Scrooged is top notch. :)

    Great reaction Chris!!! If you get a chance, check out Dickensian (2015-2016). It's a British drama series based on the works of Dickens, viewed from a different perspective. You might not be able to react to it on your channel, so you may have to watch it on your own. It would be more than worth it, whichever way you can watch it.
