Update News
Merry Christmas from the Muppets
On November 6, in the year of our Lord 2012,
the Charles Dickens-inspired classic holiday story “The Muppet
Christmas Carol,” will ring in its 20th anniversary with the
Blu-ray™ debut of this family favorite.
And now, 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 20th 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, so you can enjoy even more of my
blue-ness, not to mention 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, my pal Rizzo the Rat
as … well, Rizzo the Rat.
This is a heartwarming and hilarious holiday classic, told as
never before by yours truly! Yule love it!
