This movie is one of favorite Christmas movies as a kid and one of my favorite Christmas Carol movies. The other Christmas Carol version I like is the 1951 version. That was is dark. I'm sure other followers have told you that Disney+ for some reason cut out a musical scene from the movie. It was when Scrooge's fiancé Belle left him. Belle sings "When Love Is Gone." That's why at the end of the movie, Scrooge and Tiny Tim sing "The Love We Found."

2024-12-22 09:02:18 +0000 UTCSo, I had dialed back my Patreon subscriptions during a financial lull in our household, planning to return things to normal once my new job was in full swing and I knew our budget... but as soon as I found out you were unfamiliar with A Muppet Christmas Carol I HAD to re-subscribe to see your full reaction. And THEN to find out you haven't seen ANY Muppet movie, that kinda blew my mind and was all the more reason to see how much sense this would make to you. (A lot of references that hinge on prior knowledge, but might work regardless.) Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays for you. Also, that last song works better in the version that includes the ex-fiance's song "The Love Is Gone."

2022-12-24 21:34:39 +0000 UTCThis was one of your more enjoyable reactions. I haven’t seen this movie in probably 15-20 years. Very fun to revisit a childhood favorite! Cheers, and Merry Christmas EVERYONE

2022-12-21 21:48:27 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing this reaction. It was quite enjoyable watching you get to react to the muppets and Michael Caine's performance. There have been so many versions of this made into movies, but my favorite remains the 1938 version. The entire cast is just incredible in that movie. I think my favorite Michael Caine movie is Secondhand Lions. With all that said, I do typically watch the Muppets Christmas Carol every year since it came out, as it's just a fun movie.

2022-12-18 02:44:08 +0000 UTCI find it hard to believe that you have not seen other Muppet stuff. Then again I am reminded I am in my 50’s and you are not , sigh. Now I just feel old. And, don’t carry the turkey around, lol, Victorian London was not known for its refrigeration in any case. Watch the Muppet movie.

2022-12-18 00:29:20 +0000 UTCIf you want to watch a completely different kind of Christmas movie with excellent visuals, amazing story telling, and great acting, then check out the epic fantasy and Arthurian legend "The Green Knight (2021)."

2022-12-18 00:02:26 +0000 UTCAh very good! They are meant to integrate it to the film properly soon though, as far as I've heard, hopefully soon!

2022-12-17 21:34:40 +0000 UTCTo see the deleted song on Disney Plus, look below the feature at "EXTRAS". It really does enrich the show a lot!

2022-12-17 21:33:43 +0000 UTCThank you for this, dearest Natalie! Never thought i would cry in a show when you didn't! I guess i am a lot closer to Scrooge than you are. Not wealthy, but neither as generous as i want to be. I hope i can live long enough to change that. You give us so much with such generosity, i had to speak up and thank you! Thank you, and once more, gratitude to you. You took me back to the emotion i felt the first time i saw it, in the theatre. One more thanks, and happiest New Year to you!
—thoughtstorms—Keith—
2022-12-17 20:31:48 +0000 UTCFitting then for Nat to watch this right after catching up with Stranger Things, whose main character group were born in 71.

2022-12-17 20:20:14 +0000 UTCTreasure Island is also a fun time. If you ever want to see another Muppet movie

2022-12-17 19:44:25 +0000 UTCDisney haven't restored When Love is Gone to their version yet, which is a shame. It's worth looking up the scene seperately, it takes place during the breakup scene in the final Ghost of Christmas Past segment. The scene was cut because they thought it too much of a downer, but it adds a lot to Scrooge's character. They plan to restore the full movie on D+ soon, apparently the masters of the scene were lost prior to the HD revolution, but have since been found.

2022-12-17 16:57:24 +0000 UTCI have asked before, mention it again. Sherlock holms bbc series:) would really enjoy. But almost always enjoy your content no matter what you film.

2022-12-17 04:50:35 +0000 UTCWould love to see a reaction to Muppet Treasure Island too!
Alex Korntner
2022-12-17 02:17:42 +0000 UTCIt's also the best-looking version as a good part of it was shot on location. Also, Scrooge's "grave" is still visible at St Chad's Church at Shrewsbury in England (https://www.charlesdickenspage.com/1984-carol-scrooge-grave-shrewsbury.html), similar to how the gravestone of Adrian Balboa (Rocky's wife) is still in place at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia: (https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/45894).

2022-12-17 01:30:06 +0000 UTCFirst time i've seen this movie. It's fun and cute. My favourite version of A Christmas Carol is still the Doctor Who one.

2022-12-17 01:03:13 +0000 UTCxD Whatever you decide, I'm sure that you'll enjoy Natalie's reaction. :)
Logan Kerlee
2022-12-17 00:22:03 +0000 UTCI sincerely enjoyed this. Thank you so much for reacting to it! Happy times and good feels for everybody! :D This is my favorite Christmas movie. :)

2022-12-17 00:20:58 +0000 UTCThat's lame. I actually paused it at that time and watched the song, then resumed the watch along
Tay Schumaker
2022-12-16 23:51:34 +0000 UTC70s kid here ('71 to be exact). Henson was as important to my development as Mr. Rogers. It broke my heart when he passed away so early. Frank Oz (EP of this film, voices of Ms Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Sam Eagle) was his right hand with the muppets. If you want to see a incredibly moving eulogy watch the one he gives Henson here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zguccnOjnOI

2022-12-16 23:48:53 +0000 UTCFor some reason Disney have hidden it away under the Extras section, so it's not obvious unless you're looking for it.
Chris Cooper
2022-12-16 23:42:57 +0000 UTCI love when non-muppett-people watch this movie! I hope you could see the artistry, care, and love for the source material this movie presents. I was 7 when this movie released and I thought the writing and dialogue were so elegant and magical, when, really, I was falling in love with the real quotes from Charles Dickens. I could also go on forever about what Jim Henson's work (just in general) did for my childhood...but that's a novella on its own!! Loved the watch! Thank you!

2022-12-16 22:53:00 +0000 UTCBill Murray's Scrooged is the best modern adaptation of this story.

2022-12-16 21:31:37 +0000 UTCGeorge C. Scott is still my favorite Ebenezer Scrooge, but Michael Caine is a very close second, and who doesn't love the Muppets? Bon voyage, Nat, and merry Christmas, all!
Andy Jordan
2022-12-16 21:31:03 +0000 UTCThis is, in my opinion, the best Christmas movie.
Flick Freaks
2022-12-16 21:23:35 +0000 UTCEither way this is my favorite Christmas movie. I love the Muppets and this is so sweet and fun with some great songs and characters. I still say "thank you for making me a part of this: to this day.
Tay Schumaker
2022-12-16 20:30:17 +0000 UTCIs this not the version with The Love is Gone Restored? They put it up on Dec. 9th I think.
Tay Schumaker
2022-12-16 20:24:49 +0000 UTCOh nooooo, this is sending me into a spiral! My family are “Muppet’s Christmas Carol every Christmas Eve” people. Do I break tradition and watch it with Natalie first, trusting that being with my family will make the second viewing in one year still fun? Or do I wait until after, and risk being a tiny bit bored for Natalie’s reaction??
Sarah P
2022-12-16 20:24:03 +0000 UTCBrett Goldstein just did a skit on this.
Philip Davetas
2022-12-16 20:17:55 +0000 UTCI do not know why it hits me so hard but this is the silliest movie that can bring me to tears. I love even the parts that are horribly stupid and I feel the parts that are hopelessly cheesy. I don't even like the Cristmas Carol too much, I think its boring. But Iove this movie. No clue why. Or maybe it is because to me it feels like they invested a lot of love making it? Anyway, I hope some people saw it for the first time due to this reaction and liked it just as much as I do.

2022-12-16 19:43:33 +0000 UTCHer reaction suddenly becomes that of an old woman, barely recognizable.
Nathan Elkin
2022-12-16 19:25:03 +0000 UTCThe best version of A Christmas Carol is the 1951 version (otherwise known as Scrooge). The performance by Alistair Sim is sublime and the best version of Scrooge in any film/TV adaptation
William Burnham
2022-12-16 19:12:59 +0000 UTCNow I wonder in Scrooged has been in a poll before.
Sean
2022-12-16 19:11:31 +0000 UTCSo many different muppets. Wonder how many were in that production? From the mice up to the giant body-sized ones?

2022-12-16 19:07:26 +0000 UTCPolled movies are always for the following weeks Friday so Interstellar will be in a week :)

2022-12-16 19:05:58 +0000 UTCMy personal favorite is An American Christmas Carol with Henry Winkler in a Great Depression version of Scrooge.
Ben Wheeler
2022-12-16 19:00:48 +0000 UTCShame she didn't watch the version with the cut song restored (I don't know why Disney didn't make that the default version now on Disney Plus) - it makes the final song make so much more sense. Still the definitive film version of A Christmas Carol for me.
Chris Cooper
2022-12-16 18:32:34 +0000 UTCAll the best Nat and safe travel.
Curaitis
2022-12-16 18:12:22 +0000 UTCTwo of my favorite childhood memories are watching the Muppet Show and my father reading A Christmas Carol to the family a chapter a night every December. I've always enjoyed how well this movie blended those two memories for me.

2022-12-16 17:44:02 +0000 UTCHappy Feature Friday, Natalie! And Happy Holidays! 😊 This is one of my favorite Muppet movies. It's such a fun adaptation of "A Christmas Carol". I highly recommend all of the Muppet movies. I think there's a total of four more. Looking forward to watching this reaction later this evening. Have a great vacation. 😊 Safe travels! Stay Golden! 💛

Happy and Safe Travels Nat 💛 Not seen this movie all the way through before, so it will be a fun watch with you 😊 That was a fun way to spend Friday evening Nat. So many cute characters. Your intro was so hyper 😄 I was enjoying every moment with you, and I loved your concern about walking through the streets with a raw turkey. "You should have it covered" 😂 You da best Nat. Thanks for a fun video today, and thanks for your awesome work this week. Have a safe journey Nat 💛
