The Muppet Christmas Carol is a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic story about a greedy miser who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve, who show him the error of his ways. Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat serve as narrators, Kermit the Frog plays Bob Cratchit, and Michael Caine stars as the straight-laced, non-Muppet Ebenezer Scrooge. The film blends the darker, more serious themes of the original novel with the humor and magic of the Muppets, making it a unique and enduring holiday classic
