The Muppet Christmas Carol

The kids and adults love it!
This is really a lot of fun. The songs are catchy and the kids and the adults love to hear them!

Family Favorite Christmas Album
One of my favorite Christmas albums growing up was John Denver and the Muppet's Christmas CD which my family plays multiple times through the holiday season. We've worn out 3 copies of it we love it so much. One of my long time favorite Christmas movies is A Muppet Christmas Carol, and I was amazed when I found the soundtrack available here as I've never seen it sold anywhere. I know it's going to end up just like our other favorite Muppet CD and I'm already considering buying myself a back-up. It included all of my favorite songs from the movie as well as a couple that had been cut that I was unfamiliar with. I've loved every minute of listening to it and since I recieved it a few weeks ago I've listened to it many times already. If you're at all familiar with John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album then I highly recommend this CD as it will fit right into your collection as a classic. I would still recommend this cd to anyone as I believe it would quickly become a family favorite, especially if you like the movie.

The Beautiful Muppet Beats of Christmas
Ah, the memories. If there's one thing that stands out among all the Christmas specials and stories, it's Charles Dicken's short story, called A Christmas Carol. And it's been created in a number of ways, most recently by Jim Carrey and Robert Zemeckis in a computer generated version they claim to be strict to the source material. But if I had to gauge my childhood on one particular version, hands down its the loving version of the Muppets. Gonzo as Dickens and Rizzo as...Rizzo, Kermit as Bob Cratchet, Waldorf and Stadler as Marley and Marley, and Michael Caine as Scrooge, this film was brilliant not only as the best Muppet film made, but as one of the best Christmas Carol films made, and the anniversery soundtrack for the film I bought proves it in spades. A long time ago, my family had the cassette tape, and still do, I think... cassettes of course have been thrown by the wayside since the advent of the CD, so this Christmas I decided to get with the times. Not that there's any difference to this and the cassette tape, but that it's clearer, crisper, and provided I haven't heard from them for some time, was glorious. The original, beautiful, touching, and gently teaching songs from Paul Williams mixed with an original score touching on several classic Christmas themes (such as Good King Wenceslas) by Miles Goodman touches the core of my Christmas spirit. The low horns and almost Animal-like tendencies indelibly indicate that Muppets are present, and even Martina McBride includes her vocals to an alternative version to When Love is Gone, possibly the most important love song I've ever heard, though I prefer Belle's version from the film better, since it forgoes the Soft Rock klicks and ticks that bother me. There is more, with two additional songs by Benson Hunnydew and Beaker, and Sam the Eagle, in Room in Your Heart and Chairman of the Board. The servicemen asking for donations (played by Benson and Beaker) try to persuade Scrooge to donate with this song, and Scrooge's old headmaster (played by now British nationalized Sam the Eagle!) sings of the opportunities that await young Scrooge if indeed he puts his nose to the grind stone. Neither of these two songs are in the final cut of the film, presumably because they weren't filmed or ultimately were not needed in the film, but in the soundtrack, they are nonetheless wonderful, so I hope you have Room in Your Heart for this fantastic soundtrack. Because whenever I listen to it, it Feels Like Christmas...

Love it!!
We love this movie and the sound track is just as wonderful! The muppets are hilarious!

Muppet Christmas Carol CD
I can't really do much reviewing of the item because I never recieved it. I tried to contact the seller and he never replied back as to why my order go cancelled. The item was suppose to be a Christmas gift but I didn't know it was cancelled until after it was to late to buy another one from someone else.
