Muppet Christmas Carol

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Day Seventeen
Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

"Tis the season to be jolly and joyous..."

Great music, great actors (muppets + Michael Caine? Brilliant!), great story. A total classic and I sing along with the entire thing. No matter what age you are, this movie is just that good.

Soundtrack Highlights: "One More Sleep Til Christmas," "Bless Us All," "It Feels Like Christmas," and "Scrooge" -- but really every song in this music is amazing

My favorite quotes:
  • Rizzo: "Light the lamp, not the rat!"
  • Fozziwig: "At this time in the proceedings, it is customary for me to make a little speech." Marley: "And it is customary for us to take a little nap."
  • Scrooge: "You're a little absent-minded, Spirit." Ghost of Christmas Present: "No, I'm a large absent-minded spirit!"
  • Scrooge: "How would the bookkeeping staff like to be suddenly UNEMPLOYED!?" Bookkeepers: "HEAT WAVE! This is my island in the sun. OY!"
Rating: 5+ Snowflakes
