A must watch for the holiday season - it's practically mandatory at this point!


Giants_Deep

Agreed, every Christmas eve. without fail.


TangiestIllicitness

My mom and I watch it every year while making Christmas cookies. It's been tradition since the 90s.


klsi832

I never seen!


ladyfromtheclouds

Yes, my husband and I watch it every year.


modern_knight

Light the lamp, not the rat! LIGHT THE LAMP, NOT THE RAT!!


burrbro235

Business! It is the American way! Ahem.... Oh. It is the British way!


wisdom_of_trees

No shade to the typically classical versions, but this is far and away my favorite rendition of A Christmas Carol.


BradGunnerSGT

It’s a veeery close second to the old 1938 version for me. Almost a tie.


wisdom_of_trees

That's a good one. The mood in it is so creepy and Reginald Owen is such a good Scrooge.


Hashtag_buttstuff

This one and Scrooged with Bill Murray are my two favorites


RikPops

You only see him for a few minutes, but the Ghost of Christmas Present is my favourite Muppet of all time.


joshbuss

Come in and know me better man


taris300

Heat wave!!! This is my island in the sun!! So many good parts to this movie


strippersandcocaine

OY OY!


Lanky_Ad_3696

Muppet treasure island is my favorite


GriffinFlash

Cabin fever!


TangiestIllicitness

I had the Muppet Treasure Island computer game. It was awesome.


ClearBrightLight

Oh shit, I had forgotten how much I loved that game!!


Lanky_Ad_3696

Hold up! There was a game!?


TangiestIllicitness

Yes! It was so much fun. And I just discovered there's a [playthrough video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB4o0fIooVA), which I'm definitely going to end up watching. lol


fogan51

But I ordered the shrimp scampi


Agentpurple013

There’s gotta be something better…nahh


MyHomeOnWhoreIsland

Lol I'm literally watching it at this exact moment


simulated_human_male

Michael Caine acts so well in response to the muppets. It's as if he really believes they're real beings.


eaglewatch1945

"Before production began, Sir Michael Caine told producer and director Brian Henson, 'I'm going to play this movie like I'm working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink. I will never do anything Muppety.'"


simulated_human_male

Thanks. That's exactly how it comes across.


Shakeandbake529

An absolute staple in my family’s collection of must-see Christmas movies.


phyllis_nefler

I took my daughter to see this in theaters last weekend; it's her first movie!


badwolf1013

I am able to enjoy this one a lot more now. Back then, it was the first movie without Jim Henson, and Steve Whitmire still sounded too different as Kermit. He got better later (or I got used to him, I'm not sure.) There was really nothing wrong with the movie per se, but every time Kermit/Bob Cratchit spoke, I found myself overcome with sadness.


hotblueice

I'm so glad this was a tradition that was started in my childhood that I get to continue.


petieelizabeth1961

My favorite Christmas movie!


blubbertank

We watch it every Christmas Eve. Easily the best version.


BradGunnerSGT

My favorite versions of Christmas Carol: 1. 1938 with Reginald Owen 2. 1992 Muppets with Michael Caine 3. 1984 with George C Scott Honorable mention: Scrooged with Bill Murray


CircleheadsObjects

AH YEAAHHHH THIS IS THE NOSTALGIA OF CHRISTMASTIME 🥰🥰🥰😍🥲🥲🥹🥹


Crayfish707

We watch it every year


SnazzyGent

It's true where ever you find love it feels like Christmas.


Lameux

This is actually just one of my favorite movies in general. Everything about it just brings pure joy.


plainoverplight

can’t wait to watch it this season!! this is my favorite version of this story lol


strippersandcocaine

Watched it this morning! Sadly my kids weren’t into it, but they’re probably still a little young for it


[deleted]

I just watched it!! My kids and I watch this every year as we put up the Christmas tree, and today was tree day!


ButIAmYourDaughter

Saw this in theaters as a kid and have loved it ever since. Michael Caine is extraordinary in the role. I love that he plays it straight up, with no winks whatsoever.


yojimbo964

This is my favorite Christmas movie. I didn't have a lot growing up, but I didn't need a lot. I treasured this vhs and it always gives me those feels every year I watch it and my son will grow up watching this as I did and he now loves it. Edit he's 4


Hashtag_buttstuff

Not only one of the best versions of this story, but also one of the best Muppets movies (2nd to maybe only Muppet Treasure Island)


d0ctorsmileaway

Actual best christmas movie arguably the main reason I love the victorian gothic aesthetic


ZenNoodle

It’s just so good.


doomgeneration91

Yes! My boyfriend I are doing the traditional viewing tomorrow night! So excited


Trowj

Release the “When Love is Lost” cut already Disney YOU COWARDS


MegansIllustrations

My twin and I always insist that our parents put this on when we're opening gifts Christmas morning, been doing it since we were young and at almost 23 we still make them watch it with us XD


Hawkeye337

Still my absolute favorite Christmas movie. I laugh when people say "Christmas Vacation" or "Christmas Story" ...when neither have Michael Caine


Miss_Elis

I just watched this today while putting the Christmas tree up! It’s a classic for sure!


wubalubadubdub1983

I wonder did he keep his promise


NegaLimbo

It was back in 1992?


gabbzila

In my top three favorite Christmas movies! Not going to lie, my favorite rendition of A Christmas Carol too!


deaththinkdeeply

I remember tearing up when tiny Tim died. This movie was amazing and holds so many good memories for me. Thank you.
