Muppets Christmas carol

[Stupidwolf]

Is anybody else unreasonably annoyed that they got rid of the love song to shorten the film. I loved it as a child, its my favourite Christmas film. And the song "the love has gone" is now edited out!

Young scrooge is fit so I'm all for it's inclusion!

Light the lamp not the rat!

Available in extras on Disney plus.
i actually dislike the song. Although the cut is really awkwardly done.

“See you tomorrow at 8” “But Mr Scrooge tomorrow is Christmas Day!” “8.30 then”

Nailed it

I’ve got the dvd and that song isn’t on it (thankfully) x

Christmas decs are going up today, and we shall have this on in the background, with a supper of pigs in blankets!

It's a bone of contention in our house - DH loves it and says it makes sense of the rat crying and the 'Love We Found' reprise at the end... though I see his point, I loathe it for the dirge-fest it is, bumming my Christmas high... and as MCC is my No 1 favourite Christmas film, this is important to me...

On a different note: surely the best performance of Michael Caine's career? He totally commits to it!

It is not only Michael Caines’s best film, it is the best film ever made.

The film is a classic, but me and my siblings always fast forwarded this song.

Can’t wait for my annual viewing of this!

Acting with the muppets is a pinnacle of great acting career. Only the best rise to it and the muppets provide the best platform for displaying talent.

If you can’t do the muppets and hold your own you are not Oscar worthy.

It’s utterly magical isn’t it. We watch it every Christmas Eve (we are retired with a grandchild on the way, who I’m going to make sure is a fan). The ending with them all singing captures the spirit of Christmas beautifully x

We prefer the cut version .

It is a bit of a crappy song but it’s actually needed - the song at the end “the love we’ve found” doesn’t work without it.

Plus there’s no reason for Dickens and Rizzo to be crying without it.

I have never seen the Muppets' Christmas Carol and feel I have missed out BIG TIME

You haven’t lived. Make you laugh. Make you cry. It’s glorious

Terrible song. Sorry. I always used to fast forward it.

It's just not the same movie without the song and doesn't make sense

They did?

I probably wouldn’t listen to the song on its own, but watching the actress singing it, and seeing the emotions on her face, I enjoy the scene.

I watched it the other day and spotted simons mum from the inbetweeners 🤣

DH is that you?!

😮

It’s actually remarkable. How they took the most classic Christmas story (bar the nativity), added Muppets and songs, yet somehow made it one of the most beautiful, heartwarming films ever made, astonishing.

But yes, I’ll be watching the cut version - my attention deficit can’t deal with it 🤣.

YES!!! I forget that every year!

Yes I realised it's Simons mum from The Inbetweeners when I watched for the first time in a while last year!

I never minded the song, I always thought it was quite nice and that it was needed to add some real underscoring to young children of how much Ebernezer has lost. It also makes sense because it matches the song at the end - The Love We've Found - and adds more to that and it explains why the fairly cynical Rizzo is crying. Just watching Scrooge get dumped with words isn't quite the same!

MCC is an amazing Christmas film. "No cheeses for us meeces" is lyrical genius!

It’s hilarious and lovely.
