The experience of watching The Muppet Christmas Carol on a giant HD screen, while a live orchestra and choir perform its score, has certainly gone down well with festive-season audiences over the last few years. 

Made in 1992, the film stars Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge, with Kermit the Frog playing his put-upon clerk Bob Cratchit. The Carol’s author, Charles Dickens, is played by Gonzo, who narrates the story with a little help from Rizzo the Rat. Adding to the magic is Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Fozzie Bear (Fozziwig) and Robin the Frog (Tiny Tim).
