SUMMARY:Movies at the Museum: The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
DESCRIPTION:Gather the whole family for this heartwarming film featuring everyone’s favorite comedy crew: The Muppets! \nIn this classic Dickens holiday tale\, Kermit the Frog plays family man Bob Cratchit and Sir Michael Caine plays the stingy Ebenezer Scrooge. \nOther Muppets – like Miss Piggy\, Gonzo\, Fozzie Bear\, and Sam the Eagle – weave in and out of the story as Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases: past\, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways\, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness. \nWatch Scrooge change his outlook on life (and Christmas!) as The Muppets perform a slew of original songs.  \nRunning Time: 1 hour\, 25 minutesRating: G \nThis screening is presented in partnership with the Arkansas Cinema Society. \n\n\nWatch the Trailer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
