The Muppet Christmas Carol (U)
12 December - 13 December 2009
Cinema
People might be flocking to see the new 3D version of Dicken’s classic, but if you would like to introduce your children to this great Christmas story with a low-fi versions (that includes Kermit the frog) then look no further.
Michael Caine akes on the part of miserable old miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this liberal but fun adaptation of A Christmas Carol. The beak-nosed Gonzo takes on the role of Dickens and narrates the tale, along with the help of Rizzo the Rat. They take us on a journey through a dank London, filled with all your favourite Muppets and a lot of talking vegetables too! Important components of the Dickens story remain, with Scrooge presiding over the destinies of those who cannot meet their debts with him.
Such meanness is not tolerated by his deceased business partners who visit him one night promising that he must face up to his misdeeds. And so he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.
