This is one of my wife Aurore's favourite Christmas Tales, the classic 'saga' about Scrooge but in a 'muppet outfit'.
I can agree that it's a charming story, not least if one has seen and appreciated The Muppets during not least the 1970's. The idea around the Muppets started much earlier when Jim Henson started his creational work. but it was during the 70's it became known to a worldwide audience.
The first and foremost reason why this version is one of Aurore's favourites, is however not the muppets but Michael Caine!! You know the actor who always is awarded three hearts when she writes about him. The man with 'the perfect body' (at least when he was younger and still according to my wife) and the man she growls at when seeing him in a film.
