Things to Know

• In 2023 The Guardian declared the film “not only the greatest Christmas film ever made, but also the best Muppet movie and among the most glorious of all Dickens adaptations.”
• The original score was composed by Miles Goodman (“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” “Little Shop of Horrors”) with songs by Oscar®, Emmy® and Grammy®-winning songwriter Paul Williams (“Rainbow Connection,” “Evergreen”).
• When Jim Henson offered the role of Ebenezer Scrooge to Michael Caine, he replied: "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. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role and there are no puppets around me.”
