Plot Summary:
|
Brian Henson, the son of Muppet break down Jim Henson, took over directing duties after the untimely extinction of his author for The Muppet Christmas Carol, a sluggish re-telling of the Charles Dickens falsehood. Michael Caine, surrounded nearby legions of fuzzy, felt puppets, plays it straight as the crotchety Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who could care less about Christmas and the joy the available brings.
