A
Word from Gonzo:
"Greetings,
holiday movie fans and lovers of culture, I am Gonzo … or
perhaps better known to fans of this classic motion picture as
literary legend Charles Dickens.
Are you ready to laugh, cry, sing, frolic, cavort and enjoy
yourself beyond belief!? Well, you’re in luck, because
this 20th Anniversary Edition of Disney’s “The Muppet
Christmas Carol” is guaranteed to put you in the holiday
spirit that will stay with you forever—or at least until
your Aunt Edna starts complaining that nobody is eating the fruitcake
she brought … again!"
"Available
for the first time ever on Blu-ray with high definition sound
and picture, so you can enjoy even more of my blue-ness, not
to mention the incredible spectacle of Kermit the Frog as Bob
Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Academy Award® winner
Michael Caine (Best Supporting Actor, 1999, “The Cider
House Rules”) as Scrooge, wonderful songs by Oscar® winner
Paul Williams (Best Original Song, 1976, “Evergreen” from “A
Star Is Born”) and, of course, my pal Rizzo the Rat as … well,
Rizzo the Rat."
"This
is a heartwarming and hilarious holiday classic, told as never
before by yours truly! Yule love it!"
