The Muppets Christmas Carol

0 Shares

My biggest childhood memory involved the shows that I watched growing up. One of those shows I truly enjoyed was The Muppets. Thats why, when I found out about The Muppet Christmas Carol, I knew I needed to introduce my children to that movie. I just knew they would like it as much as I remember liking it.

It is hard to believe that The Muppet Christmas Carol is celebrating its 20th anniversary. That makes me feel so old! I was 11 when this movie came out and I remember it like it was yesterday! But it still makes me feel incredibly old to say that I was 11, 20 years ago! Nevertheless, on November 6, 2012, the holiday story inspired by Charles Dickens will make it’s Blu-ray debut!

Here is a word from Gonzo (I LOVE 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!
