Metrograph

The first Muppet movie to appear after the early death of genius Jim Henson, and the most emotionally rich of them all, a revitalizing retelling of Charles Dickens’s classic tale with Michael Caine as a superb Scrooge, Kermit as Bob Cratchit, and a host of fantastic new creations, including the big, bumptious bonhomie-prone Ghost of Christmas Present (“Come in, and know me better, man!”).
