On November 6, 2012, the Charles Dickens-inspired classic holiday story “The Muppet Christmas Carol,” rung in its 20th anniversary with the Blu-ray™ debut of this family favorite.
And now, a word from 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.
As I said before, I absolutely LOVE the holidays and all the movies that go along with it and this is one we will add to our tradition of watching together with the kids. I love the Christmas Carol and the muppets give it a good spin and we really enjoyed it.
You can pick up a copy of this on either the 2-Disc Combo Pack (Blu-ray and Digital Copy) for $26.50 or the 1-Disc DVD for $19.99 at most places that sell movies. It would make a great stocking stuffer, or even better a great gift before the holidays to watch with your family.
