The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

Welcome to Sleigh Bell Cinema, a seasonal podcast about Christmas movies! In this first episode, host Michael May is joined by Mike Westfall, whose TV-focused Advent Calendar House podcast is a direct inspiration for this show.

After a quick conversation about the Muppets' relationship with Christmas in general, the two Mikes talk about one of their favorite Christmas Carol adaptations, The Muppet Christmas Carol. What makes it a good adaptation? How does it rank with other Muppet films? Did it get the casting right? Is there anything that it doesn't do so well? Tune in for more fun than falling down a chimney and landing on a flaming hot goose!
