There’s magic in the air this evening, magic in the air...
Get in the festive spirit with a relaxed and unique screening of this heart-warming and funny adaptation of the well-known Dickensian novella that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas.
The Muppet Christmas Carol / 1992 / 1h 25m / Rated U
The Muppets star in this heartwarming tale with Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit and Gonzo as Charles Dickens – alongside Michael Caine as ‘Mr Humbug’ Ebenezer Scrooge. The story follows Scrooge, a miserly and bitter old man with no thought for anyone but himself. On Christmas Eve he is visited by three ghosts - the spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come - who each show him the error of his ways.
“Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are joined by Caine as a hilarious Scrooge in this irresistibly sweet musical adaptation of Dickens’ festive tale” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Workshop
Jim Henderson came up with Kermit in three sketches and made the first Kermit puppet out of ping pong balls and his mum’s old coat! So why not give it a shot yourself? We’ll provide the socks, felt, eyes, fabric, sewing materials and glue, and you come up with the next edition to the Muppet multiverse. You can either start your journey with a simple sock puppet or attempt a stuffed sock animal. Please join the lovers, the dreamers and me! ♬ ♪ ♫
Plus: Stay to the end to enjoy some very silly muppety bloopers!
