    On the scene where Ebenezar breaks up with his girlfriend, there is a song that got edited out that explains the what and why much better. Instead you jump from talking on the bench to Rizzo crying. This episode is supposed to be closest to the original book with the most quotes directly from the original book. When Michael Caine was asked to do the role many felt he would just do enough but he said “I will approach this role as if I was working with the Royal Shakespeare Company”. And I think he did a great job of it. I think if this was done just by people with no muppets it would never make it as a kids movie. For a different version but also good if you haven’t watched it yet try watching Scrooged. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

      For me, Scooged missed the point when they showed Scrooge's family sobbing over his death. The whole point is that Scrooge was unmourned. Scrooged seemed to miss that. It was strange, because in my opinion it was the only wrong note in the entire film.

      Not only did excising "When Love is Gone" from the theatrical version leave a somewhat jarring cut in the scene where it belongs, but the song also sets up the final reprise "The Love We Found" at the end of the movie, making it more poignant. Cutting it was a bad decision, all around, and Brian Henson was right to want it reinstated.

      The Muppets never half-heartedly did anything at that time. Their version of Muppet Treasure Island is also really good! Billy Connolly has a short appearance in that one and has a certain honour that he holds in high regard.

      I just wish they'd been able to include the bit with Ebenezer's loving sister (who died a young woman) and his hateful/mourning? father (who forbid Ebenezer from coming home, even for Christmas).

    • @greenman4946
      @greenman4946 Год назад

      Not that faithful. They’ve omitted lots of things, like Scrooge’s sister, and added the part where he visits the Cratchit house on Christmas Day, which he doesn’t do in the original story. The costuming, though, is extremely period accurate.

  • @frglee
    @frglee Год назад +7

    It's a delightful version, for sure, with an impressive performance by Michael Caine. Something else that is impressive is how well so many people around the world know this beautiful, moral and clever Charles Dickens story from 1843.

    I remember growing up, it was The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock. I went back to Fraggle Rock a few years ago and they had some themes going in those episodes that were way beyond what I would have thought was suited for a kid my age at that time. I had forgotten that they tackled issues like prejudice in those early 80s episodes. But here, it's all fun. It's not my favourite version of the story, but it's certainly not my least favourite. Alastair Sim is still my go-to.

    Oh, you BET I watch this every year, on Christmas Eve - "Just one more sleep till Christmas!"
    One of the most amazing things about this is that the costuming is some of the most period accurate clothing ever created for a period piece! Including the what the Muppets wore! They went all out!
    Several RUclipsrs have done videos about it, and one costumer did a recreation of what Gonzo (Charles Dickens) was wearing because it's so accurate to the time period! Amazing!
    A very, Merry Christmas to you both! You have given me much needed joy this evening and I thank you!

    One of my all-time favourites (and by far, the version of A Christmas Carol I've seen the most)! Showed it to my girlfriend the other day and she was amazed how good it is! The Muppet humor is charming and Michael Caine playing it straight and genuine gives the film depth and power. A true family classic! Fun seeing your reactions!

      It's beautiful, and a real tear-jerker, being cut apparently because Disney execs feared the scene was too sad for younger audience members. Then the negatives of it were lost for many years. But, yes, it is an integral part of the film and one of the strongest scenes. A few weeks back, Disney+ restored it in full to the streamed version of the film for the first time in nearly 20 years.

    Wonderful adaptation - Michael Caine was fantastic! As a lover of reading, I was happy with the way Gonzo (Mr Dickens) encouraged the audience to 'read the book'. Nice touch; A Christmas Carol is a great way to ease young readers into the classics.

    My favorite adaptation of A Christmas Carol is the 1951 version starring Alastair Sim. He is the quintessential Scrooge and no one else comes close imho. Give it a watch if you haven't seen it, I guarantee it'll be worth your time.

    As Canadians, you need to be reacting to my favorite horror movie of all time... Black Christmas 🖤🎄it was shot in Toronto and has famous Canadian actors in their early careers. If you seen Superman, Porky's, My Big Fat Greek Wedding or A Nightmare on Elm Street... you'll recognize quite a few actors.
