Muppet Christmas Carol - Thankful Heart

[@michaeltownley9144]

It's ridiculous, but I actually feel emotional when Scrooge is given the scarf. It means so much to him, just that one little gift. Michael Caine is brilliant in this.

[@canaanclb]

I love how he's like, "a gift for ME?" It's kind of emotional, because this is probably the first time someone's ever given a gift to scrooge.

[@mrcritical6751]

Nephew Fred's probably given him numerous gifts over the years but knowing Scrooge he probably burnt them

[@EmileJoulbert]

I've heard people referring to this as Mr. Caine's finest work. If you search 'Michael Caine Interview - part one - Parkinson - BBC', you'll get some insight into his technique.

[@Vixin24]

Same. Every single time I watch it that part always makes me tear up without fail. I think it's especially touching that after a lifetime of being alone and cold to everyone, when he finally does open up and expresses kindness for the first time, he receives some right back. I don't think he was expecting it and is certainly unused to people showing him gratitude so he's so surprised and moved by what's probably the first genuine gift he's Eve received. Man this movie makes me emotional. It's so great

I don't have any friends being involved with my life in real life. No text backs. No calls. And they fail to include me in fun things. It's probably bc I'm Autistic or mentally ill or something. And all I wanted to know was love and happiness. Joy. Things shared between comrades. Now I'm becoming pissed off just talking about my loneliness. This happens with all them. I can't be myself or they forget about me. Friendship hurts. I even went to God and Jesus and all I get is some more bullshit. Don't pray. Don't believe.

When I was seven years old, my mum snuck into my room in the middle of the night and said: "Kate, you gotta see this." We snuck downstairs and on TV were the muppets telling this amazing story about a grouchy old man being visited by ghosts on Christmas Eve. I remember it as not only being one of the funniest things I'd ever seen, but such a wonderful story that I couldn't help but beg for more when it was over. That's when my mum told me about the book and read me the first part under the Christmas tree until I was tired. It's a Christmas memory I'll never forget.

[@12348477]

He is probably also thinking how did you get in my house?

[@KittyxGrimm]

My favourite part of this scene will always be the look on Fred's face after his uncle hugs him for the first time because you can kind of see him thinking: "I have no idea what just happened, but I have a good feeling about it." Needless to say, Steve McIntosh is a human Muppet.

[@kylemorello4787]

Him visiting fezziwig (fozziwig) was one of my favorite additions to the story! I kinda wish it was in more incarnations. It's sweet to see Scrooge return the favor for being a great boss, and fozzie does a great job acting excited to see him.

[@BigBWolf90]

Same with Sam as the old headmaster. He doesn't emote like Fozzie but he's clearly gobsmacked that Scrooge came to see him. Plus him & Fozziwig spending Christmas together is extra touching

[@Funnybones30]

HALFTHEMIKE him and Jim Carey

[@rstein926]

In my opinion Michael Caine was the third best Ebenezer Scrooge. The best Scrooge was Alistar Sim as he was simply born to play the role as he had the face for the miser. He also nailed it as Scrooge with the voice and was really convincing as the old skinflint. The second best actor was George C Scott even though he was American. And the fourth best Scrooge was Albert Finney.

[@mrcritical6751]

Jim Carey was good not only was he expressive enough to work with the motion capture and create Scrooge’s signature scowl but he also was goofy enough to portray Scrooge’s happy and goofy side towards the end

[@BenBanjo87]

It's a great detail how at the start of the movie, Scrooge walks with a cane; yet here he no longer needs it. Nice symbol of how he's not only reformed, but essentially rejuvenated with this new change of heart.

[@RoonJazz]

Michael Caine was utterly fantastic in this. It may be be a fen retelling of the story, but he is one the best and most compelling Scrooge performances ever.
