And Michael Caine was very good in the Muppet Christmas Carol. This story has of course been made and remade many times. By far the best ever is the version A Christmas Carol (its U.S. name--Scrooge in the UK) with Alastair Sim. There were earlier and later dramatic versions that don't hold up nearly as well. I did like the Albert Finney version of Scrooge as a musical. And the Muppet versons of things are always marvelous. It's a good actor who can pull off acting with puppets.
