One of my favorite comments I heard once is "The two best guest actors in Muppets media is Michael Caine who treated the Muppets as real people, and Tim Curry who treated himself like a Muppet."

Gonzo is so awesome. “Tiny Tim…who did NOT die!…” Gets me every time.

@Adamdidit 6 ай бұрын

From the actual book too. Apparently it wasn't specified in the original draft and the editors thought he died so Dickens added the line.

in Muppet Xmas carol Michael Caine treats the Muppets as if they were just other actors, in Muppet treasure island,Tim Curry behaves as if he himself was another Muppet "

Back in the day when I was working for Spitting Image, our crew were invited by the Henson crew (who were also shooting that day) to visit their set and view their Muppets. I remember rushing past this bewildered bloke on set to get to the Muppet Chickens (which are my favs) only to be told later "you do realise that was Micheal Cain" LOL Even back then the Muppets won out. lol

Since 2005, the one thing for me that really makes the Christmas period really Christmasy is when there's either a brand new Doctor Who Christmas Day Special or a New Years Day Special to watch!!! 😀

One of my favourite comments I heard about "The Muppets Christmas Carol" is also about "The Muppets Treasure Island"... "The reason Michael Caine and Tim Curry are so good in their respective Muppet movies is that Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors, and Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow Muppet" 😁

For me, its not Christmas unless the whole family gets together to watch the live action How The Grinch Stole Christmas. It's our Grandpa's favorite Christmas movie and honestly, if I wasn't for how surpringly and genuinely good I found the 2009 Mocap A Christmas Carol it would also be mine. Jim Carrey playing Scrooge works surprisingly well, and without him acting like he usually would.

I have one movie that makes me feel like Christmas is here. Which is How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the animated one, with Borris Karloff. The line "Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more" will never not kill me.

@theyakkoman 6 ай бұрын

I think it's a great film to watch during Christmas time as well. It also helps that they do sing Christmas Carols in the film (to drown out the noise from the digging of the tunnel and making of the tools, but still).

@cassieacr 6 ай бұрын

I read once that the Muppet Christmas Carol is so popular because Micheal Cain treats the Muppets as fellow actors. And Muppet Treasure Island is so popular because Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow Muppet.

For me, my go to media to watch on Christmas are the first two Thomas the Tank Engine Christmas specials (Thomas’ Christmas Party and Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree) and the 1966 animated adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

I’m kind of curious as to which daughter they’re talking about. Michael Caine’s two daughters are currently 67 and 50, making it impossible for either of them to have been 7 when the movie came out in 1992. Secondly, I have two Christmas traditions. Watching the 1994 Tim Allen Christmas movie, The Santa Clause and listening to the Patrick Stewart reading of A Christmas Carol on cd. First heard it when I was a kid when my mom got it for me for Christmas. Then my wife rebought me a copy a few years back so I could listen to it again to remind me of my childhood.

In Metro Detroit, one of the local TV stations played Laurel and Hardy's "March of the Wooden Soldiers" every year on Christmas. We moved up to northern Michigan, and found that it wasn't broadcast on any of the stations there. The next year, my dad bought the VHS copy, and that was how we continued that little tradition.

It's interesting you should mention wanting Steve McFadden to play Scrooge in A Christmas Carol because Ross Kemp (who plays the other Mitchel brother in Eastenders) has done just that. It's a made for TV film that came out in 2000 with the story being updated to reflect the time period which, ironically, dates it even more than if they had kept in the original era. It's enjoyable but nothing groundbreaking.

A really touching moment from the muppets I saw in the last few years was Seth Rogan's Hilarity For Charity special on Netflix. For the final part of the show the muppets come on to perform "Rainbow". Something about the muppets really does just disarm you of the idea that they're not "real." They're true celebrities, and personalities, and much more than just felt.

In a way, it's rather ironic that Statler and Waldorf would play the part of the Marleys, as they were both originally voiced by Jim Henson and Richard Hunt, which as we all know, unfortunately passed away beforehand and this film being dedicated to them.

Speaking of "personal traditional christmas movies" one of our family's ones was this direct-to-TV animated adaptation of the Snow Queen starring Helen Mirren as the Snow Queen and Hugh Laurie as the main character's stressed out animal sidekick. Naturally it doesn't hold up beyond nostalgia, but Helen Mirren is an unironically *amazing* villain.

I have a theory that the reason they show them around christmas is because of the old stop motion classics from the 60s and 70s, you know, rudolph, frosty, etc. the Rankin-bass ones. they have a similar feel to claymation, using the same methods and all. so it probably just evokes the same feelings in anyone watching.

Talk about not-Christmas-related shows that aired on Christmas, one of my country's TV station used to aired Mr Bean episodes on Christmas day for a few years, in the early 1990's, before they decided to have a dedicated TV time slot for the show, to be air weekly.
