- Hi all, want to start off saying this is a great newsgroup, I've been such
- a huge fan of the muppets as far back as I can remember, and a source of
- news like this is great.
-
- That said, about the Muppet Christmas Carol... I was VERY disappointed
- The Muppet Movie is my favourite, and I think is clearly the best of the
- (now) four movies, but the follow-up two weren't bad. This latest release
- is just BAD. Maybe it's because they weren't silly enough, took the story
- too seriously, had to wear all that 19th Century clothing or something.
-
- First of all, Kermit was not in it nearly enough, we got to see Michael
- Caine all the time, and he's NOT a good Scrooge. The whole film just
- wasn't silly enough...case in point: Fozziwigs (sp?), Scrooge's first
- job with Fozzie Bear running a rubber chicken factory, but did they do
- anything at all with this? NO! Gonzo and Rizzo were okay as narrators,
- but they tried to force the silliness sometimes ...
-
- I don't know, maybe I'm comparing this to The Muppet Movie too much (the
- songs in this one were not very good either) ...
