(Brian Henson, US 1992, 85 min., 35mm)

As Ebenezer Scrooge, Michael Caine is a rare but classy human presence in this otherwise all Muppet retelling of Charles Dickens’s classic. Kermit and Miss Piggy are the Cratchits, and Fozzie Bear is (who else?) Mr. Fozziewig. This delightful family film manages to be lovingly faithful to the spirits of both Dickens and Jim Henson. Fresh popcorn, candy and soft drinks will be on sale in the lobby.
