Let’s get this party started…Muppet style! Take a look at the “It’s Not Easy Being Scrooge Special Edition” of the Charles Dickens-inspired classic holiday story “The Muppet Christmas Carol.” To celebrate the 20^th anniversary of the movie, the Blu-ray version makes the debut of this family favorite!

 I interrupt this review for a word from Gonzo: Greetings, holiday movie fans and lovers of culture; I am Gonzo … or perhaps better known to fans of this classic motion picture as literary legend Charles Dickens. Are you ready to laugh, cry, sing, frolic, cavort, and enjoy yourself beyond belief!? Well, you’re in luck because this 20^th Anniversary Edition of Disney’s “The Muppet Christmas Carol” is guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit that will stay with you forever—or at least until your Aunt Edna starts complaining that nobody is eating the fruitcake she brought … again!

Available for the first time ever on Blu-ray with high definition sound and picture, you can enjoy the incredible spectacle of Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Academy Award winner Michael Caine as Scrooge, wonderful songs by Oscar winner Paul Williams and, of course, Rizzo the Rat.
