any muppet Christmas carol geeks?

[eggybrokenoff]

bought dvd as loved ancient video I had - and there is a scene missing! scrooges girlfriend sings a song as she leaves him. can I get full version on dvd?

and yes I am that sad and addicted to mcc

AFAIK, it's missing from newer versions. I have it in DVD and it's not there. I LOVE that film and my kids hate it, which is a massive disappointment to me.

why why is it missing why? I love the movie too. my kids are a bit young yet

I love it. We watch the DVD at random times.

It's a rights issue. Was only released on VHS (thanks god as it's a horrible song)

Eggy I did exactly the same. It's not right when the song is missing - I loved sobbing to that every year.

The love has gone, the love has gone

She's a fab singer as well. Seems weird that she doesn't get a song any more

Best film ever!

I have the vhs version and the off telly version

DC too young to really appreciate it ATM

"When love is gone" I love that film so much, I now have 3 DVD copies without that scene and it wasn't in the version they showed at the cinema last week either

It's not on my DVD copy but it is on my soundtrack CD

I'm not sure it's on any DVD or Blu-Ray versions that are for sale now and it wasn't on when they had it on TV recently so in answer to the thread title yes there are some MCC geeks about

I hate that they took it out, it cuts to gonzo and Rizzo crying but it makes no sense cos you don't hear the heartbreak!
it wasn't a great song, but it told an important part of the story imo!

Light the lamp not the rat, light the lamp not the rat.

Nope, never seen it

Just like how Scrooge never appreciated Belle until she left him, I never liked "When Love is Gone" when I had the VHS, but now I have the DVD I miss it!

Yep I LOVE muppet Xmas carol.one of my best gifts I received one Xmas when I was little-I have worn the bhs out though and was going to buy the DVD but luckily realised prior to buying it that 'the love is gone' scene is missing.If anyone finds the full version on DVD let us know!

I love MCC, it's our traditional Christmas Eve movie - I can practically quote it word for word... I do miss the song though, our VHS went the way of the dodo years ago and the DVD is poorer without it.

Love that song but apparently it was originally cut for the us market who found it depressing.

it just doesnt make sense without that song. (lives in hope of it being reinstated in a full non edited version in future).

watched it this morning

DD 15 weeks was glued to it and smiling so I'm happy

I adore this film, my friends and I have a Muppets Christmas Carol evening every year, we did this even before we had kids. I agree that it's not a great song but is important to the story.

I love all things muppet - its true wherever you find love it feels like Christmas!

Statler and waldorf are my all time favourites - inspired casting as marley and marley

This upset me so much I researched it online! Apparently this is the reason...the love is gone

Love MCC and we always watch it on Christmas Eve! :) never heard the song, so am off to u-tube it!

It's our Christmas eve film too,
I'm known for crying every time at the scene where Kermit/Bob Cratchit opens the door to Scrooge.
My family laugh at me every time, heartless meanies.

Excellent film. Rubbish song. Always used to fast forward past it. Hope everyone has noticed that Beaker gives Scrooge the finger
