One of my favorite moments from “The Muppet Christmas Carol” was Kermit looking up at the shooting star during “One More Sleep Til Christmas”. It was in loving memory of Jim Henson, because it was a nod to a similar scene in “The Muppet Movie”.
To me, what makes Muppet Christmas Carol work is how it balanced out the tone of the original Dickens story with the Muppets' humor. It had a lot of funny scenes, but it also knew when to be serious, like when the Cratchits mourn Tiny Tim. Plus, there's Sir Michael Caine, who is already a fantastic actor, but really stood out in the movie. The way he took the role of Scrooge seriously and interacted with the Muppets as if they were fellow human actors on stage.
I want muppet pride and prejudice so bad. Miss Piggy as Lizzie, Brett as Mr. Darcy, kermit as bingley, fozzie as mr. bennett, animal as kitty or lydia, Link Hogthrob as Wickham, sam the eagle as lady catherine, uncle deadly as caroline bingley, janice as jane, gonzo as mr. collins, camilla as charlotte
@@heathinvaderstudios obviously Jim was perfect but Steve was great too, he’d done it so long and so well. His own version was instantly recognisable as Kermit. Matt’s isn’t, he’s working on it but it’s just an impression that only sounds about as good as any rando’s Kermit voice
Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my all-time favorite movies. I am so glad “When Love is Gone” is in the Disney+ version. That’s how it should be. I watched the full version on VHS growing up and now DVD because that song is essential for a complete story.
Of all the celebrities over the decades, no one gives better interviews than the Muppets. Once, many years ago, Jim Henson was appearing with Kermit on a talk show. Before shooting, a stagehand mic'd Henson, and then proceeded to mic Kermit. Henson just looked at this guy like he was crazy.
I’m disappointed Rizzo isn’t at the table. On that note, whoever’s doing the voice of robin is an improvement from whoever had the role last time but not by much.
Rizzo is going back to being a background character like he was in the original muppet show. I’m guessing they’re doing that until they find a new voice. The same thing happened to Scooter,Rowlf,Dr.Teeth and other characters who’s performers left or died or got fired.
This Robin is awful. The original Robin could talk very well, but he was just a little shy, like a preteen would be. Kermit would sometimes need to coax him to speak or sing due to his shyness. It's like the new actor misinterpreted his shyness for being a scared stuttering toddler. I don't know how. It makes me cringe.
Something I recently learned about the movie is that to achieve the effect for the Ghost of Christmas Past, they submerged the puppet in a tank filled with baby oil and recorded the footage. When the baby oil got too expensive to keep ordering, they simply just used water.
I miss Kermits old voice :( I know there were a lot of disputes with Steve Whitmire but I wish they could have found some one just a little closer to his voice I understand it is hard though as they need an all in one puppet performer AND voice
The thing I liked about Steve Whitmire was whenever he mentioned the Muppet Christmas Carol, as Kermit he mentioned in multiple interviews that it was the first movie they made after Jim’s passing, and he made it a point to bring that into the conversation. Here, it’s not even mentioned.
While just how much awareness they have of the fourth wall has always been somewhat fluid, they generally consider themselves to be real, and aren’t really aware of the behind the scenes stuff.
@@megelizabeth9492 Could just be that only one of the Muppet performers at that table actually worked on a Muppet Christmas Carol. Matt Vogel (Kermit and Robin) and Eric Jacobson (Miss Piggy) came aboard years later.
This gentleman doesn’t even sound like he’s doing an impression of Kermit. I’m sure he’s a very talented performer and muppeteer, but just Google Kermit voices and you’ll find a ton of people who can do the voice Justice

Indeed, I recall seeing an interview with him on this film where he mentioned that very thing.
@@crazyhorsecavdoc4916 in a reprise of one of the songs from the movie there is a moment where he hits the character just right. I think he is trying to sound like Jim, but his performance as Kermit still needs work. Considering his previous role was Constane
Does anyone else keep getting distracted by the fact that Robin isn't as vibrant as he used to be? I mean, I've been watching The Muppet Show (again) lately, so I know he used to be a brighter shade of green, and I honestly can't imagine any good reason why they would have changed that.
I love how the muppets have mugs for their "cocoa". And they had a table read? Also, what about "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" and Pepe's spectacular performance?
@@TimothySaxby to which (funnily enough) most people would actually disagree with. Steve was never an exact duplicate voicewise of Jim Henson, but he was close enough and worked with Jim enough to the point that he really knew how to channel through his character and make it seem like…well, Jim's Kermit. And there were actually points where Steve did in actual fact sound exactly like Jim Henson’s Kermit, to the point where even I would have trouble differentiating the two voices (Steve and Jim). While this wasn’t consistently the case and I could mostly easily tell apart the two, Matt Vogel on the other hand I’ve NEVER not ONCE made that mistake with and to me, always just sounded like…well, Matt’s Kermit.

Kermit and Robin really do sound off to my ears, though different actors and all that. But I'm just trying to think of how people can sound different the older they get. I know Muppets are timeless but even they would have ageing issues. That's just what I am telling myself to make it easier to watch this.
@@grutarg2938 Yeah. That’s why it’s easier to tell myself it’s just “voice changes as you get older” thing. Because they still feel the same, just sound different.
The "Marley and Marley" sounds like he picked it up from their song. Looked like even Gonzo questioning that hearing on that pronunciation too. One of those Marley's sounded like "Morley". Statler and Waldorf played "Jacob and Robert Marley" to be technical.
Ironic because I'm sure this was what audience's thought when the movie came out 30 years ago when Steve took over. The only performer in this panel that played their respective character in the movie was Dave Goelz. Kermit, Robin, and Piggy were all performed by different puppeteers. Matt is definitely improving in the roll, but it's still an adjustment to be sure.
They fired Steve Whitmire, who was the original performer and voice of Kermit and Rizzo. I don't think Rizzo has appeared since 2016, so he was never recast.

You cannot come back here and claim it was intended for other people when you tagged me directly. Or perhaps the nuance of UA-cam's comment system escapes you. Besides, your information is inaccurate as Rizzo *appears* in Muppet Haunted Mansion (silent cameo) and has been revoiced in Muppet Babies by Ben Diskin (granted it was as a child variant).
Dave Goelz (Gonzo) is the only performer here that was really in The Muppet Christmas Carol.
He is also the longest preforming muppet performer in general if I recall correctly
Yeah, but this is an interview with the Muppets, not their performers.
Thanks I was wondering if any of the puppeteers besides Gonzo's were the ones actually in the movie. You saved me having to look it up.
He's also the only muppet performer to have ever performed Gonzo. Dave has performed other muppets, but no one else has ever performed Gonzo.
I think he might be the last original performer left from the early days.
My favorite moment was when Rizzo kissed Gonzo’s nose. It was so random and uncalled for, but it was absolutely perfect for the scene.
I bet that was Steve's idea.
Same!!
@dsukenick was definitely an improv moment, glad it was kept in

Incredible movie from my childhood. Michael Caine definitely should have won an Oscar for his performance.
My favorite bit from the film was Gonzo's dirty little poultry-phile joke when Rizzo fell down the chimney and "landed on a hot goose!" "Lucky!"

According to Below the Frame, that still happens.
I feel like we have embraced the Muppets as actual people, so when faced with it, we would treat them as actual people.
Haha, reminds me of a Nina Conti bit where Monkey points out that not having a mic really ruins the illusion.
THIS is everything. Best Christmas film ever made. Thank you BG and the Muppets for this gem of a video!
Brett Goldstein is having a great time. Ted Lasso, Sesame Street, and now The Muppets! He’s living the life!
