You've seen the Kermit memes. You've probably watched the film. Now listen in as John and Magnus sip mugs of hot cocoa and bring the festive season to an open with a work of art that some deride as saccharine - which isn't as bad a word as people like to think it is - but others uplift as theatrical tradition, ghost story, and a movie with incredibly heart and intention.
1992's Muppet Christmas Carol is a fantastic piece of film musical history that was almost lost to time after a bad box office year versus Aladdin and Home Alone 2. But through it all, the message and the artistry kept bringing families back to it. From the music to the humor to the Muppets understanding the assignment (as they so often do), Muppets Christmas Carol is a movie that just gets better with each subsequent watch.
Don't believe that? Just try to pop it in and do something else. You'll be back on the couch before Kermit sees a brilliant evening star.
