Couch Potato Theater: THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992) Watch: Fandom Podcast Network YouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/@FandomPodcastNetwork Listen: Couch Potato Theater Audio Podcast Link: https://fpnet.podbean.com/category/couch-potato-theater Welcome to Couch Potato Theater, where we celebrate our favorite movies on the Fandom Podcast Network! On this episode we celebrate one of the most beloved Christmas movies, THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992) The Muppet Christmas Carol is a 1992 American Christmas musical film produced and directed by Brian Henson (in his feature directorial debut). It is the fourth theatrical film featuring the Muppets. Adapted from the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens with a screenplay written by Jerry Juhl, the film takes artistic license to suit the aesthetic of the Muppets, but follows Dickens' original story closely. It is the first Muppet film where a human is the main protagonist. The film stars Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside Muppet performers Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Jerry Nelson, and Frank Oz. It is the first Muppet film to be produced following the deaths of creator Jim Henson and performer Richard Hunt; the film is dedicated to both.

We close out the holiday season with one of the all time greats, The Muppet Christmas Carol. Joining us is friend of the show Jackie; a librarian, Muppet aficionado, and the wife who fuels the revolutionary love of one of our hosts (it's the host that name drops his wife more than he does Marx or Lenin). Widely recognized as one of the most faithful adaptations of the Dickens' classic, the film stars Michael Caine as Scrooge, Gonzo the Great as Charles Dickens, Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, and Rizzo the Rat as himself and was the first Muppet film directed by Jim Henson's son Brian Henson following the death of his father. We discuss the accuracy of the movie, the influences that led Dickens to write the story in the first place, what the story has to say about alienation, and how two Marleys is better than one amongst other things.Only two more sleeps 'til Christmas 2025, and here at Left of the Projector we wish for a world where all us meeces can have cheeses.**Cheeses in this case is a unified and liberated working class working towards fully automated luxury gay space communism.

This week, Patrick and JT dive into the past, present and future of 1992's, 'The Muppet Christmas Carol'. This beloved holiday classic gives us Dickens, divas and high-camp drama. The boys unpack the film's bittersweet production history, Brian Henson's heartfelt direction, and how Michael Cain and the Muppets managed to turn a Victorian tale or morality and mortality into one of the most heartfelt and joyful Holiday traditions of all time.

‘The Muppet Christmas Carol' underwhelmed at the box office when it was first released on 11th December, 1992 - but found its audience on video and DVD in the decades later, becoming a gold-plated Christmas classic, re-watched by families, year after year.  There was darkness behind the scenes - from the sudden death of Muppets creator Jim Henson, to the legal wrangling over Disney's acquisition deal for his company, and composer Paul Williams's return from a difficult decade of addiction. But, despite this, or, perhaps, because of it, 28 year-old first-time director Brian Henson delivered a faithful and enduring adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover how Steve Whitmire shouldered the daunting job of playing Kermit for the first time; consider Michael Caine's masterstroke performance as Scrooge (‘as if playing opposite the Royal Shakespeare Company'); and reveal how Jerry Juhl's script shifted from comedy pastiche to heartfelt musical…  Further Reading: • ‘‘You'll never see Michael Caine blink': An oral history of The Muppet Christmas Carol at 30' (The Independent, 2022): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/the-muppet-christmas-carol-brian-henson-b2243015.html • ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol movie review' (Roger Ebert, 1992): https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-muppet-christmas-carol-1992 • ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol Trailer #1' (Disney, 1992):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNo-Q0IDJi0 #90s #Film #Christmas #Heartwarming Thanks so much for supporting the show!

“No Cheeses for us Meeces” The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992) Directed by Brian Henson and starring Michael Caine, The Great Gonzo, Kermit the Frog and Rizzo the Rat Next Time: The Best of 2025

Every time Disney adapts A Christmas Carol, it's a ghost story—but it's not just about Scrooge. It's a story about the Walt Disney Company itself. CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE IN VIDEO FOR THE FULL EXPERIENCE @ https://youtu.be/pCARpdjm0rk From the hand-drawn rebirth of Mickey Mouse in the 80s to the felt-and-friendship of the Muppets in the 90s, and the high-stakes digital ambition of the 2000s, each adaptation of Dickens' classic reveals exactly where Disney was as a company, what it was struggling with, and what kind of "spirit" was guiding its decisions. Join Eric as we unwrap the surprising corporate history hidden inside three holiday classics: The Ghost of Ink and Paint (1983) Mickey's Christmas Carol was more than a cute holiday short; it was a desperate sign of life from a struggling animation studio. We explore how this small project became a proving ground for the next generation of Disney legends (Keane, Lasseter) and marked the grand return of Mickey Mouse during Ron Miller's uncertain tenure. The Ghost of Felt and Friendship (1992) The Muppet Christmas Carol was the first Muppet film made without Jim Henson—and the first under the Walt Disney Pictures banner. It's a story of legacy, loss, and how Brian Henson fought to keep the heart in the story (and why a certain song was controversially cut by Jeffrey Katzenberg). The Ghost of Digital Ambition (2009) Robert Zemeckis' motion-capture version starring Jim Carrey was designed to be the ultimate A Christmas Carol. Instead, it became a cautionary tale about the high cost of innovation, the "uncanny valley," and why Disney's $200 million experiment (ImageMovers Digital) shuttered just two years later. These films are a timeline of Disney's struggles, expansions, and triumphs. Watch now to discover the surprising synergy of art, commerce, and Christmas spirit!

Go down the box office charts for 1992, and you need to look a long way before you find The Muppet Christmas Carol. Directed by Brian Henson, the movie was in 45th place at the box office that year, with surprisingly few choosing to check it out on its initial cinema release. The film had come together following the death of Muppets creator Jim Henson, and there'd been some difficulty cracking what the next Muppet film should be. Even when they settled on an adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, there were a few different choices that were nearly made. The story of the film is told in this episode...

Merry dang Christmas. Yeah, we got a Christmas Day drop. Angela is making us work on a major holiday for little to no (zero) pay. She's a real “Ebenezer Scrooge”. This episode of MOVIEHUMPERS (soon to be “THE PROJECTORS”) might be the loosest one yet. Way more loose than your mother. What are we saying? Why are we being so antagonistic? Is this what Christ would have wanted? It's HIS day. HIStory. The fuck is “wassailing”? I don't know let me look it up… “To encourage the spirits of the trees to ensure a good harvest”. Wow, it's about crooning the trees so that you get bountiful cider. Real old world shit. Wassailing turned out to be cooler than I thought it would be not unlike “THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL” from 1992 starring Michael Caine and our felty friends, The Muppets. Directed by Brian Henson and the first Muppet film after Jim Henson's death. We all know the story. Hell, this is our second film adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” this month. The real question in every adaptation is, of course, “What do the ghosts look like?”. A bit more unsettling considering what one might expect from the world of Muppets. Could a Muppet ever be an official Moviehumpers/Projectors “DAWG”??? Truly, I Miss Piggy might be the only one. We love how she attacks people. She sparked our lifelong love of karate.

Ah, Tombstone. The 1993 western with a cast led by Kurt Russell, and basically co-starring everyone else who wasn't in the rival project - Wyatt Earp - telling a similar story. But heck, behind the scenes, there were all sorts of problems. Examples? A director who got fired. A release date that couldn't move. A script that needed urgently hacking to hit the production deadline. A star who was rumoured to be ghost directing the movie. Meanwhile, following the success of 1992's The Muppet Christmas Carol, director Brian Henson liked the idea of taking another classic tale and adding The Muppets to it. But the first announced version of what became Muppet Treasure Island would slightly differ from the actual movie... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
