JUST as Die Hard is a Christmas movie, there should be no debate as to which is the best adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
It’s one where the only human cast member is Michael Caine.
Not a lot of people know that he will be back on the big screen this Christmas, for a special restored version featuring newly restored footage.
The full-length Muppet Christmas Carol will be in cinemas from Friday, December 2, complete with When Love Is Gone, a song that was cut from the original movie and feared lost for good, but it was found in 2020, and been reinserted back into the famous tale of a miserly man who wakes up full of Christmas cheer.
As well as Sir Michael, the film features all the Muppets, including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo.

Set on Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.
Together with kind, humble Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and his family, the Spirits open Scrooge’s eyes – and his heart – to the true meaning of Christmas.
The film was originally released in 1992, and has been a firm festive favourite with audiences ever since.
More than 150 cinemas have signed up to screen the film, including Vue and Picturehouse venues.
