The Muppet Christmas Carol

"This is the Muppets' finest film. Its mashup of slapstick, songs and literary adaptation is suitably anarchic, but crucially it gets Dickens right." - Total Film

Presented by Uptown Waterloo's BIA! 

First 20 attendees receive a FREE popcorn!

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets -- Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle -- weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases -- past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.

This screening includes a recently restored scene not included in the original theatrical release!


"Although the story has been Muppetised (with Fozzie Bear as Fozziwig, the owner of a rubber-chicken factory), no attempt has been made to water down the story, and the poignancy of the moral tale is as affecting as ever." - Radio Times

"Although the Muppets pile on the wit and child-friendly slapstick, they never dumb down, and never compromise their story's literary origins." - Daily Telegraph

"Vastly enjoyable... Michael Caine is perfect in the role and there are many genuine belly laughs." - Empire Magazine

"The late Jim Henson would have been proud of the job that his son did directing this production. It's a solid Muppets feature. Call it 'The Muppets Take Dickensian London'." - Movie Metropolis
