100 Word Reviews - The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

The work of Charles Dickens has been re-imagined a hundred different ways in a hundred different adaptations, most of which fall into the same trap of taking themselves too seriously. Thankfully, The Muppets provide a retelling that is a golden exception. It’s a fun and fresh adaptation that features some of our favourite Muppets as classic Dickens characters, and a fantastic leading performance from Michael Caine that really showcases his range as an actor. I have many fond memories of this film, and while it may not be perfect, for me the film encapsulates everything that is good about Christmas.
