|A live action adaptation of Charles Dickens' seminal work ''A Christmas Carol'' with various Muppets playing the role of various characters in the story (and Gonzo as Charles Dickens himself) as well as Michael Caine as Ebeneezer Scrooge. Promotes many of the same themes of redemption and the spirit of Christmas as the original story. Also has a rather humorous promotion of the American dream, as in a scene exclusive to the movie, the headmaster of Scrooge's boarding school, portrayed by Sam the Eagle, suggests he go into the work force and tells him that it's the "American way", causing Gonzo to break character to inform Sam of the true setting of the story, causing Sam to correct himself by saying it is "the British way". That said, however, the ending song does have slightly Marxist overtones.

|This movie promotes the American dream, however, the Muppets look for that dream in liberal Hollywood. It also has an anti-capitalist message with the villain of Doc Hopper, who is also a southerner. In another scene though, Fozzie Bear sings "America the Beautiful" and says "Patriotism swells in the heart of the American bear."
