The Muppet Christmas Carol is a 1992 American Christmas musical film produced and directed by Brian Henson. Adapted from the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens with a screenplay written by Jerry Juhl, the film takes artistic license to suit the aesthetic of the Muppets, but follows Dickens’ original story closely.

The film stars Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside Muppet performers Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Jerry Nelson, and Frank Oz.

The film’s reputation has grown in the years since its release, and it is often listed as one of the best Christmas films of all time.
