Not only the best Christmas Carol adaptation but also the best Muppet movie, hands down.
Disagree… even though I haven’t really seen this one all that much, I think Treasure Island was the best Muppet movie.
Now I know that you’re gonna have a conniption because my opinion is different than yours just everybody else these days… but suck it up and get over it
@@nsasupporter7557 Okay? Why do I care what you like or dislike? Good for you.
@@nsasupporter7557 Nah, its honestly fine; I may share the same opinion as Brandon (this being my favorite Muppet movie AND version of Christmas Carol), tho yours is perfectly valid.
@@simontheslakoth719 good to know. I’m so sick of people disrespecting and not accepting my opinion because it’s different from their’s.
Have you ever seen The Muppet Movie or The Great Muppet Caper?
I love how Scrooge first shows his face in this film; scaring the crowd away by turning and looking at them like he's thinking "YOU WHAT, MATE?!" And it's realistic, since if Michael Caine turned and stared at _me_ like that, I'd be moving right along myself! And no, I'm not making a pun out of the Moving Right Along song from The Muppet Movie. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all!
I still think the scene in Mickeys Christmas Carol where Scrooge gets pushed into his grave by Ghost Pete and is about to descend into Hell is one of the scariest things I've seen in a Christmas movie. Especially for a Disney movie.
Right?? Traumatizing!
Walt Disney himself could get very dark at times. The notion that all Disney needs to be or is all light is a relatively recent thing.
Was that motion ever completely true?
This movie was the first Muppet movie made after Jim Henson's death. in this and in every subsequent Muppet movie made there is a scene with a shooting star, meant to be a tribute to Jim. In this movie it follows the song One More Sleep 'Till Christmas
Just saw another reactor do this movie and intro her video as if she was flat out 'embarassed' to be doing a Muppet Movie... as if it were for babies. As someone who was raised on Jim Henson and Frank Oz's works (including Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, etc)... its depressing that theres an entire generation that grew up without the 'Muppet Magic". The Muppets were always clever, smart, funny, and for all ages. They never pandered, they never talked down to the audience, even on Sesame Street... they appealed to kids but Henson sense of humor was aimed right at the adults.
I know of the one you speak....like that dork was too cool for this movie
Who was it?
Do you mean her intro before getting into the movie? Because it seems like she started to "get it" during the movie
I know which one you're talking about. XD She's close to my age though and I grew up with this. I was surprised to hear her like practically apologizing to us for watching it. lol
@@drummergirl2319 that's the one.. it was bizarre... and maybe even a little sad.
So an interesting detail about this movie: the Dickens Society has said this is one of the most book accurate adaptations.
I can never made it out of this movie without crying at least a little ....
Yep. The ducks on the river. Every time.
Can't tell which version you got because of editing, but for some reason the song Scrooge's fiance sing is cut , then restored, then cut, then restored. It's a weird history but the song adds sooooo much especially when her song turns into a duet
One of the funniest and cutest Muppet movies ever made!
People have said that this is the best adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
Did you watch the version with Belle's song re-added? Some people don't like it, but I think it's important to bring the story full-circle and to really understand why there is so much emotion when Belle leaves. Anyway, good reaction.
A heartwarming classic, and celebrating its 30th Anniversary!!! Merry Christmas, Kay!!
I grew up watching both The Muppets and Mickey's Christmas Carol on VHS. My mom and me watched them every Christmas. Now, I watch them with my daughter. The Muppets Christmas Carol is heartwarming classic, memorable characters and cast, songs stick with you, still makes me laugh and cry, and currently celebrating its 30th Anniversary! Merry Christmas!
My top 3 favorite versions of A Christmas Carol (in no particular order) A Christmas Carol a.k.a. Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983), and A Muppet’s Christmas Carol.
I love the Muppets. I grew up with Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Fraggle Rock the animated series, Muppet Babies, The Muppet Show, The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, Muppet’s Take Manhattan, A Muppet’s Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, and they were so much fun.
My favorit Christmas movie :)
A Merry Christmas to you Kay
Thanks for all the videos this year.
Hope for many more :)
This film is a family tradition of mine and it's one of my favorite Christmas movies. I'm glad you're reacting to this.
That was the very first adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” and in my opinion, it’s the best out of all of the adaptations! I love Michael Caine’s role of Scrooge, Gonzo’s narration and role of Charles Dickens and his shenanigans with Rizzo. Statler and Waldorf were excellent as the Marley Brothers. I also love the songs notably written by singer songwriter Paul Williams for this movie. Interesting fact about Paul Williams, he was involved in many old Muppet movies. He wrote songs for “Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas”, “The Muppet Movie” and “Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa”. He even guest starred in The Muppet Show. His songs are the best! Paul wrote another song that was missing from “The Muppet Christmas Carol”. It was sung by Belle, and it’s called “When Love is Gone”. It’s my favorite song from the movie. You can only see it in a VHS/Dvd version in a Full screen version. You can also see it on RUclips. The song “When Love is Gone” has been taken off when the movie came out in theaters for a few reasons. The song sequence was not only sad, but long and boring when it was shown during the test run. Also younger viewers could not comprehend that the song is about a breakup. As a child, I saw it on VHS and I enjoyed hearing Belle sing. Still I didn’t understand about breakups. I read the original book in junior high, and understood more about the story.
This is the best Muppet movie, the best Michael Caine movie, and the best version of The Christmas Carol ever. It's also in my Top 10 films ever.
I will not be taking questions on this topic.
And I saw it as an adult when my son was a child. I plan to show it to my grandson, just as soon as they re-edit it to have The Song "The Love Is Gone". Otherwise I will keep my DVD and show it to my grandson.
I'm so glad you appreciate it. Merry Christmas xx
Omg!!! Yesss!!! You finally watched one of my all time favorite Christmas movie since I was 6. 37 now. THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL!!! I am soo happy you finally reacted to this one. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family Kay and have a wonderful and beautiful New Year!!! I have been catching up with your videos since being on leave from the Army and I love following your updates :)
When asked if he would accept the role. Micheal Caine said that he would, on the condition he could play his character totally straight.
As if the was in an all human serious production.
This totally paid off showing the depth of character of Scrooge, and his style really had a nice edge, when on screen with the Muppets.
This really is my favourite Christmas film....
Light the Lamp... Not the Rat..!
Light the Lamp... Not the Rat..!!!
And a Happy Festivus to you, Kay. This is one of my favorite fun takes of the story. Along with Scrooged and Blackadder's Christmas Carol. For the more classic take seek out the one with George C. Scott as Scrooge. He is perfect.
So glad the three Doggos weren't in the room to be exposed to Scrooge's irascible personality! I agree that Michael Caine gave an outstanding performance. He certainly ranks right up there with the great Scottish actor Alastair Sim. Fun reaction!
I didn’t even know this movie was a thing. I didn’t even know this channel was a thing. Good editing, good commentary, good production, Merry Christmas.
I saw "Mickey's Christmas Carol" in the theater. It was shown with the 1983 re-issue of "The Rescuers." "The Muppet Christmas Carol" had a song cut for its theatrical release, "When Love Is Gone," sung by Belle to Scrooge, although they kept "When Love Is Found" in (sung by Scrooge during the Finale). "When Love Is Gone" was restored for the film's LaserDisc and VHS release, but then it was cut again prior to the film being released on DVD. Brian Henson said in an interview that Disney lost the original film elements for that song, and he didn't think that they'd ever be found. However, Disney did find them relatively recently. When the film was first added to Disney+ the song was still missing, but it has since been restored (at least in the U.S.). This is my favorite Muppet movie, followed by "Muppet Treasure Island."
My childhood introduction to this story was "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" from 1962. I can't recommend it highly enough. Songs by Jule Styne, who did "Gypsy" and "Funny Girl", etc.
Great reaction. I have to watch 5 Christmas Carols every year... Scrooge, with Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol with George C Scott from the 80s... Scrooged with Bill Murray, Disney's Christmas Carol with Jim Carey voicing scrooge... and this one.. Muppets lol. Thank you. 😊
Merry Christmas all the way from LA Kay🌲🌟❤💚🎁🌨❄⛄ I really love your reaction to Muppets Christmas Carol I watch this all the time when I was a kid still do great reaction great reaction Kay 😇
Scrooge is played by a young Michael Cain. The same guy who played Alfred the butler in Batman.
Hi MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too ,,
Merry Christmas Kay. This movie is one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time.
4:03 that would hurt like crazy in the 1800s those were made with real plants including the sharp holly leaves
Notice how Michael Caine plays this dead straight, no hammy acting or comedy.
Merry Christmas to you, your family and dogs Kay!
Merry Christmas Kay.
I'm not sure which version you watched, but there is a version with a cut song from when he's in the past during the break up were his lost love sings a song called 'love is gone' it was cut because they felt it was to sad for kids but it actually links to the end of the film when the song is flipped and they sing 'the love we found'
Your room looks like the most comfortable place ever lol
If you've never seen Muppets Take Manhattan or The Great Muppet Caper I'd recommend checking those out at some point. I think Muppets Take Manhattan is my favorite.
The reason there’s two Marleys (4:26) is because it’s a joke: Robert Marley shortened is Bob. 🇯🇲
Hi, love your reaction. You mentioned that you really love reading a Christmas Carol, and I’d like to recommend an excellent book called Jacob T. Marley. It’s a really beautiful story about his side of the events, and how it all ties into Scrooge’s life. It lives right next to my copy of a Christmas Carol and I read them both every year. They make me cry every time. Highly recommend.
Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas and nice robe. Grew up with the Mickey Mouse version too. Whatever it's a cliché version not, An Christmas Carol is an beautiful story about Redemption and the Spirit of Christmas. In today's world, is almost forgotten or shame on for saying: Merry Christmas. But we can't give up the spirit of hope and giving. So beautiful reaction and Merry Christmas #Kayreacts.
This and the Alastair Begg version are my favorite scrooges. 😉
Michael Caine was great in this.
I have seen both this xmas movie and the Disney one
Great video!
Please react to The Muppet Movie(1979) for the Muppet origin story that you never knew that you needed. Happy Hollandaise!
Yeah, those were the days… back when Jim Henson was still alive.
His son Brian did a decent job of keeping it going, but it’s still wasn’t the same. Even when Disney bought them out it still wasn’t the same. This and Muppet Treasure Island were Disney produced
The other best interpretation of Dickens is "Scrooged" a Must See
I watched that one last year!
I saw the Mickey Mouse one a long time ago, it was the short film that was shown with 'The Jungle Book'. That may have been the first time I had been to the cinema. I prefer this one, though.
There is another adaptation of this movie that is also very funny.
Scrooged.
I wish your videos were longer. PS I love your gigantic hoodie.
You can always check out my full length reactions on Patreon. And thank you! It’s very cozy❤
y’all should check out muppet treasure island, it’s glorious
The Mickey Mouse Christmas Carol is what The Muppet Christmas Carol would be without the Musical Numbers.
"God save my little broken body!"
Though not my favorite version (that goes to Scrooged, with Bill Murray), Muppet Christmas Carol is adorable, and I love Gonzo as Dickens and Rizzo as Rizzo being the narration/ running commentary (and Rizzo being a punching bag 😅).
Be sure to check out Muppet Treasure Island for another literary classic with the gang. There is also a Muppet Wizard of Oz, but it is a little harder to find. They should have done more, as it's a great way to get people into the classics. Imagine a Muppet Iliad/Odyssey... 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah Scrooged is my favorite too. But this is pretty damn close. And it's pretty awesome that to this day it's the most accurate to the book of any adaptation.
It is hilarious how often Gonzo and Rizzo are used as punching bags, either from their own choices or by being the invisible narrators and commentators of the story and get walked over by the cast as a result (or knocked down from windows multiple times, or taken through a forest obstacle course while hanging from a rope, or being crushed by the busts in the school because the building is decaying over the years).
Michael Caine didn't have to go _so hard_ in a Muppet movie for kids - but he damn well _did,_ and the world is a better place for it.
I can't tell whether you saw the full version that contained the song "When Love Is Gone", sung by Belle during the break-up scene, or whether you saw the theatrical cut in which it is missing. Without the song, the reaction of older Scrooge and Rizzo can seem a little sudden and over-dramatic, and it also sets up the final reprise "The Love We Found" at the end of the movie, making it more poignant.
You missed the “love is gone” song. They cut it out but it’s one of the best songs
A very good movie!
Myself, I prefer Scrooged! starring Bill Murray. The producers gave it a contemporary setting, with Scrooge being Bill Murray's character, the president of a huge TV network.
you should see
The Muppet Family Christmas
The Muppet movie
Follow That Bird
The Muppets Take Manhattan
The Dark Crystal
Labyrinth
So, Kay, did this version have Belle's break-up song "When Love is Gone"?
The fact that it portrays two Marley's triggers my OCD a bit
When you realize it's so they could make a Bob Marley joke... priceless.
@@DanJackson1977 I never picked up on that lol
I tried
I prefer netflix klaus animated movie
Stupid dumb RUclips ads😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
Did you see white Christmas with Danny kaye?
Also if you enjoyed the court jester you will like:
The kid from Brooklyn, the secret life of walter mitty, the inspector general, hans Christian anderson, knock on wood. To mention a few.
On a side note: i hate musicals but oddly enough Danny kaye is the only singer i would listen to sing in a movie. He was an actor of all trades and did it all to perfection, singing, dancing, acting, stunts.
Fun! Not the best adaptation ever, contrary to what some people are saying here, but a fun version. (My favorite is the 1938 version with Reginald Owen, and the 1980s version with George C. Scott. Lots of people like the 1951 version with Alistair Sim.) Great seeing Michael Caine take a stab at ole Scrooge! He does a great job! Thanks for another year of fun reaction videos, Kay!
