Rizzo has always been my favorite Muppet. Unpopular opinion but muppets from outer space has always been my favorite Muppet movie, its very 90s

[@kdusel1991]

Rizzo is awesome!!

[@mattfleurant9295]

Happy Festivus, Tony! I know we make fun of you,but only because we like you. Thanks for all the fun content throughout the year!

[@HackTheMovies]

Thank you so much. You are my best friend and I love you.

[@mattfleurant9295]

I know. ❤️

[@marcusjackson9076]

This is the only Christmas film I need to watch. It never gets old. And Michael Caine is outstanding.

[@robk.6591]

This and Mickey's Christmas Carol are my favorite adaptations. Michael Caine is excellent as Scrooge.

[@kdusel1991]

Mine too!!

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

"Heatwave!" 🎵 "This is me island in the sun! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy!"🎵 lol. I remember laughing extremely hard at that scene when I was a kid in the theater, ha ha ha.

[@dmitch1983]

I didn't know I needed this but I really needed this more than I knew

[@jonathontrejo5427]

The Muppet Christmas Carol is top tier. Even halfhearted performances really shine in this film. I love the muppets and their roles in this adaptation. I like this film the most then The Year Without A Santa Claus Heat Miser and Cold Miser songs are fantastic. After 5 PM Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are a given. That Ghost of Christmas Future is what my mind pictured the ring wraith/black riders/ Nazgûl to look like. The Ghost of Christmas Past was scary from 1993-1998. Natalie Dormer is trading up 💯

[@jeanief.6036]

Just a heads-up: if you watch it on Disney+, the extended cut with the song "When Love Is Gone" added back in (like it was on the VHS version) is hidden in a menu.

[@kdusel1991]

Growing up, we didn't have the extended cut! Or at least I think we didn't.

[@adambuskirk2222]

Tony, most definitely looks like Dr. Teeth

[@Sash_tha_pash]

Ohh,good lord,Johanna is back!! Thanks for that....🥰😋😋😜

[@docsamson7575]

After this one, Muppets from Space is my 2nd favorite post Henson Muppet movie. Yall should give it another chance.

[@kdusel1991]

I like that one!! Muppet Treasure Island is my second favorite post Henson muppet movie!!

[@montanajackson3713]

One of my favorite moments in the movie is this: “Light the lamp, not the rat!” 😂

[@tedtheo7131]

Johanna valid af for muppets 3d take. Even tony didnt disagree

[@kdusel1991]

I agree!! I hope it gets preserved somehow and moved to another part of Hollywood Studios! I like the idea of monstropolis, but getting rid of the last thing Jim Henson worked on is unforgivable!!

[@lutherheggs451]

@@kdusel1991 the last thing Jim Henson worked on was the secret of the ooze. Muppetvision was like 1989/1990

[@thomassroka1124]

Never knew about Bell's song! WOW!

[@kdusel1991]

This is my favorite version of Christmas Carol! Watched it all the time as a kid! Along with the mickey mouse one!! Also happy that Johanna's back at the video store!! Merry Christmas Tony and crew!! Also mad that disney world is closing muppet vision 3D and changing rockin roller coaster to make it muppets themed. Although I do think monstropolis could work.

[@TechnoCocoa]

This is my favorite version of Christmas Carol! I have the dvd with the extended edition so the final song makes more sense. Thank you for the review, Mr. From-Hack-The-Movies!

[@kdusel1991]

The extended edition is on Disney plus too!!

[@lutherheggs451]

Scrooged is a far better version of A Christmas Carol

[@TheMattypoo21]

This movie is great. I will be watching it tonight on Christmas eve.

[@kdusel1991]

Merry Christmas Eve buddy!!

[@TheMattypoo21]

@kdusel1991 Merry Christmas

[@ChildofGod315]

Father God give me strength this Christmas. I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. HEAVENLY FATHER Thank you for giving ME strength to keep going.💕

[@Skywarp-kr4ft]

For the longest time both this and Mickey’s Christmas Carol were yearly Christmas viewing at my house

[@kdusel1991]

Same here!

[@JonathanStein-kr6qd]

The greatest Christmas Carol, and one of the greatest Muppet movies

[@kdusel1991]

Agreed!! Best version!!

[@Bookworm56-c7p]

I love muppets

[@kdusel1991]

Same! They're great!

[@anthonywaye4738]

This is one of my favorite Muppet movies it's the American way I mean the British way I love that line

[@kdusel1991]

Business.

[@vamphunterdlover]

You guys should see the Muppets appear on DROP THE MIC. The burns on that episode hit HARD.

[@jonwilson2111]

I work at Disneyland resort in California...we lost our muppetvision years ago and it became philharmagic

[@kdusel1991]

I'm sorry to hear that!

[@Cybomayne]

After they took that out, it was not the same without it.

[@jonwilson2111]

@Cybomayne yeah before philharmonic, they used it for a few different movie sneak previews but yeah I miss Muppet vision a lot

[@nickwheeler5396]

The Muppets did a holiday special with Lady Gaga in 2013. It was basically a promo for her upcoming album but it was fantastic fever dream

[@zombiepainter2169]

13:16 fun fact… EVERY rat that works for Scrooge is left handed

[@user-lk8lg1ys5o]

I thought it was the real Kermit Tony is a voice actor😲

[@hidoradaikaiju4205]

Any chance you could review Pompeii with Kit Harrington and Emily Browning?

[@njtopcatt]

Just recently saw this with the orchestra playing live

[@kdusel1991]

That's so cool!!!

[@hankhills552]

I’ve never read the actual book, but I have the graphic novel adaptation and it’s great

[@kdusel1991]

You should watch some of the movies! They're pretty faithful

[@hankhills552]

@ Yeah i’ve seen some of them like this one, Mickey’s Christmas Carol, the Patrick Stewart one and that really dark newer one they did on FX a couple years ago with Guy Pearce(which I didn’t really care for) but I gotta say I think the best one i’ve seen was the 1984 version with George C Scott I was really impressed with how great it was.

[@kdusel1991]

​@@hankhills552 never saw that one! My dad's favorite version is the one with Alastair Sims

[@theflail]

Kermit the frawlg here!

[@HackTheMovies]

@@theflail cmon!

[@kdusel1991]

​@@HackTheMovies hi ho Kermit the frawlg here!!

[@arlonborges]

Best pirate movie? The Goonies..

[@ryanpowell2540]

My favorite version of A Christmas Carol is the Mickey Mouse one. As for what you are describing twelve minutes in, Tony, it's similar to what TV Tropes calls "furry confusion."

[@libman2006]

Another Christmas tradition for us. Christmas dinner, the Queen, The Snowman then this then maybe a Bond movie.

[@HackTheMovies]

This review should be a tradition I think!

[@jamesbrooking1287]

the best actors who have scrooge are George C Scott, Michael Caine, Alastair Sims and Scrooge Mcduck

[@kdusel1991]

Agreed!

[@KingHenryVR4]

Wasnt there a scene where Scrooge sees the little caroling rabbit frozen to death

[@kdusel1991]

Idk. It's funny how much the creators hate that bunny!

[@TheSlashTraxNetwork]

My xmas watchlist: Year without a santa claus Scrooged National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Muppet Christmas Carol Ernest Saves Christmas Mickey Christmas Carol Die Hard Batman Returns!!!

[@kdusel1991]

Great list!!

[@DigimontamerB]

The first ghost is NOT meant to be the friendliest, that's clearly the second. She is meant to be innocent but eerie. Creepy was absolutely a feature, not a bug.

[@jerryrodriguez9613]

Where’s Crystal?😭

[@AdamFink83]

24:16

[@kylealt7960]

Is Crystal going to be back on the show anytime soon? Suggestion for the next Christmas carol movie: The Patrick Stewart version of "A Christmas Carol" from 1999.

[@HackTheMovies]

@kylealt7960 she's got one in studio and two live episodes next month. If you watch the live episodes she technically never left!

[@Denis-fp7ku]

Gonzo is my favorite by far lol then Kermit

[@gentrol1630]

Damn Jo

[@user-lk8lg1ys5o]

51:14 Melodic laugh

[@mattt233]

Actually it was after midnight so it was technically the same day so it is Christmas Present.

[@fusionspace175]

I might have seen it once as a kid, but I was always a Mickey's Christmas Carol watcher, I only sat down to watch the Muppet one this year, at 42 years old. Its okay, but I never liked the Muppets all that much to begin with, they were just kinda there like the Looney Tunes guys. The most I ever liked them was in Muppets 3D. Its just too silly to take serious and too serious to be fun. I can't believe in a world with singing food that's aware it will be eaten in any way that lets me connect with Scrooge's journey. This is a skip next year for me, but I might try Treasure Island.

[@kdusel1991]

It sucks that muppet vision 3D is closing.

[@MrJessiesammakia]

You forgot muppet mayhem

[@kdusel1991]

Is that good? I've never found time to watch it

[@MrJessiesammakia]

@kdusel1991 it's pretty good

[@tonythepokemonguy751]

Micheal Caine treated the muppets like actual actors and Tim Curry acted like he was a muppet

[@septemberforajedi7701]

Yeah, I actually watched this movie for the first time a week ago and to be honest It wasn't bad but it didn't really click with me I didn't really grow up with the Muppets The only thing that I watched was actually Muppets treasure Island I remember liking that as a kid, but it's been so long since I last watched it So I don't know how I'm going to feel if I rewatch that one. And I'm glad I'm not the only one that found the ghost of Christmas present the scariest thing I've ever witnessed The extremely light blue eyes porcelain looking doll with the haunting child voice No thank you! That is nightmare fuel.

[@Mrvividsin]

Please review the movie kripendorfs tribe

[@1dancy]

Great Show! Thanks! For worst pirate movies, I suggest you check out: - Nate and Hayes/Savage Islands (1983) - Cutthroat Island (1995)

[@joshmuecke85]

Does duck tails count as a scrooge adaptation?

[@kdusel1991]

No but Mickey's Christmas Carol does!!

[@projectionreflection5475]

Not as dark? Girl have you watched "The Dark Crystal" haha

[@nathanthomas9513]

Muppet movie idea the muppets are pitching the next movie to the studio so we get to see classic movies with guest actors reprising rolls for example miss piggy wants to be Marlon Brandos roll in the godfather Pacino reprises his roll. Second pitch gonzo pitches how he’s on death row and wants to make the green mile Tom hanks reprises his roll. Fozzy pitches silence of the lambs would you wakka wakka me. Anthony Hopkins reprises. Just like Michael Cain guest actors reprising their old classic roles play it straight surrounded by muppets

[@AlejandroFlores-Ibarra]

The woke joke’s old Tony. Please drop it.

[@LesusGames]

Just want to wish a Merry Christmas to Johanna, Crystal, Joey, Mint, Prison Mike, Joe, Sean, Casey, Adam, Monica, & Mr Lobo. And that's it. Don't think I'm missing anyone. Merry Christmas all! (Except Tony. He RUINED Dark Knight Rising with his over acting)

[@HarryWhite-z6z]

Disney is a dumpster fire since they went woke 💯💪🔥

[@HackTheMovies]

@@HarryWhite-z6z yeah yeah we know we know.

[@kdusel1991]

​@@HackTheMovies that guy clearly doesn't know what woke means.

[@Spottedfeather]

the cut song ruins the movie. It's a KIDS movie and the song makes the movie way too dark for little kids. The song is NOT needed.

[@kdusel1991]

How does it make it too dark? It's essential!

[@Spottedfeather]

@@kdusel1991 it's not essential. we see scrooge when he was a kid being treated badly at christmas. So we see why he hates christmas. the song isn't needed.

[@Tirnel_S]

I grew up only watching the extended edition and had no knowledge of the theatrical cut until a few years ago. So it always boggles my mind for a second when people say they hate the addition of the song, its boring, or it's just 'ok'. While I admittedly did fast forwards as a kid, seeing the scene without the song is so jarring and not impactful, but then I remember that I'm the oddball who didn't grow up with the theatrical edition.
