“The Muppet Christmas Carol” (1992)

Directed by Brian Henson

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets — Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle — weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases — past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.

My dad loved the Muppets. He passed that love down to me. Everything from Sesame Street, to Fraggle Rock, to the Muppet Movies were staples in our home for years when I was a kid. “The Muppet Christmas Carol” was a regular staple at holiday time when I was a kid from the moment it was released on VHS.
