YOU LOVE IT OR HATE IT!! Reacting to "The Muppet Christmas Carol" - Nostalgia Critic 

“The reason Muppets Christmas Carol and Muppets Treasure Island are so good is because Michael Caine treated the muppets as fellow actors, and Tim Curry treated himself as a fellow muppet” is one of my favorite takes on these movies of all time.

14:28 The joke is that in A Christmas Carol, that character is named Fezziwig, Scrooge's old boss. But the Muppet they have playing him is Fozzie Bear, so they did a pun and called him Fozziwig in the movie.

"What is holly?" It's a plant that's often confused for mistletoe. If you see white berries and smooth oval leaves, you've got mistletoe; if you see red berries and spikey leaves, you've got holly.

14:31 The original character was named Mr. Fezziwig. Naturally, if you're gonna get Fozzie Bear to play his role, why WOULDN'T you make the pun?

Duck, you can act like a huge hater of musicals all you want, but we all know it's a sham, what with your love of Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, and Lackadasy. As for A Christmas Carol, I already said my peace in the last reaction of Nostalgia Critic doing this story. It's honestly hard to say anything else without repeating myself, so just go read that comment again.

Since the next Nostalgia Critc is to take place on Christmas, I suggest it's time for another holiday poll. My suggestion being... I'll be home for Christmas Christmas Story Live Batman Returns Deck the Hall and finally, Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas ever

I literally had a poll on which Christmas Carol version is everyone’s favorite, and The Muppet Christmas Carol won. I knew it was charming and delightful, but I didn’t think everyone would love it that much. 😅

TMCC is the most truthful to the 1898 Charles Dickens novella so clearly it’s the best version of the story.

Michel Cane said he’d play the part of angry Scrooge “as serious as a car accident”.

Personally, I disagree with him. Of all the versions of the Christmas Carol I've seen, Muppets is the definitive one. Between things like the addition of Gonzo as a narrator, the wonderful songs, and the combination of adult themes and childishness, this is the Christmas movie I'm always the most excited to watch when the time rolls around. Though, from a more critical perspective, I understand why some don't view it as number one. I guess that's the result of a little nostalgia not just for the movie, but the Muppets as well.

Those babies who some people said were cute? I don't think anyone in the history of ever has called Bobby Benson and his Baby Band cute. Those things spend less time playing music and more time trying to kill each other. When they performed Pennsylvania 6-5000, any chance to punch, kick, or whack each other with their own instruments, they took it!

16:01 - 16:28 Last year's Scrooge: A Christmas Carol on Netflix has a similar scene. Luke Evan's singing as Scrooge alongside Isabelle from the past is beautiful, almost like he's begging himself to go with her rather than focus on business and profit, even though he knows it's futile and already too late.

What did your friends say when they found out that you thought the Macarena was a holiday?

I love this movie despite all its flaws. It is our family tradition every Christmas to watch this movie.

Have you considered watching Lost in Adaptation before? Dominic Noble's series, he takes films and the books they were based on and compares them. He did a really big one on Christmas Carol and all its most famous adaptations.

Wilkins Coffee Company went out of business sometime in the 80’s which was around the time that the ads entered public domain.

Gonna suggest the Batman Returns video, since you've already done Forever and B&R, and it would leave you with only Batman 89. Batman Returns is in fact a Christmas movie.

Gonna suggest his new Wakko's Wish video, it's still enjoyable even if you barely know anything about Animaniacs (not like that's any different to how most of you reactions play out (it's more surprising for you to know about the source material at this point)) and his review clearly has a lot of heart in it.

Havent watched this video yet, but will probably I enjoy nostalgia critic most of the time. but moving forward Kyle great job with all your videos!

The this is the Christmas carol that I grew up on and we still watch it.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I kinda like the Christmas Past puppet. The description in the book is of a ghost like a flickering candle flame, with the features fluctuating between those of a child and an elder. The puppet's uncanny valley look surprisingly fits that, because the features don't quite fit for a specific age. It shouldn't work, yet somehow it does

There are different versions of The Christmas Carroll 🎄

My school is watching the Muppet Christmas Carol for the last days before break

Kyle if you said you were from Pluto i swear i'd believe you! you don't know what holly is, your first reaction to Kermit is from RU-vid!

There are a HUGE number of A Christmas Carol adaptations, that it's kinda insane how many there are. Even My Little Pony Friendship is Magic did an adaptation of it... and, believe it or not, THEIR adaptation has the darkest ending should the Scrooge character (Snowfall Frost) not change their ways and learn the spirit of the holiday. How dark we talking? In most Christmas Carol adaptations, only Scrooge and Tiny Tim are dead in the future and only Tiny Tim's family are suffering. In the MLP version? EVERYONE dies in an eternal winter.

You want a fun Toys for Tots Story check on the one done by The Fat Election. He has 2, one is the story of how it started and the other he calls his favorite Christmas story.

12:41 Bah Humduck is the Looney Tunes' take on a Christmas Carol.

I've been waiting for you to see this one btw Kyle chainsaw man just got green lit for a sequel movie it's like what demon slayer did so merry Christmas and happy new year

I like OSP covering the original book that would be a good video, she also gives some context to the book

00:45 - Please do Dear Santa - The Cinema Snob & The Nostalgia Critic Its one of the Funniest Videos With the NC "With" because the Review is on the Channel of the Cinema Snob

Proving how great the nc public school system is with every video.

Now you need to watch for Christmas next week with the best Christmas Movie the NC has reviewed, that being Die Hard, becuase it's a christmas movie.

I’ve waited six thousand years

Bah Humduck is a Looney Tunes version of a Christmas Carol

If you want a Voice of Death, look for a clip of Peter Serafinowiz as the Death from the Discworld series. Alternately, listen to the voice of Sir Christopher Lee.

Its time for nostalgia critic grumpy cat Christmas

17:34 - There is even a German Adaptation of the Office. I tryed it once and it really wasnt my humor In fact A Parody-TV-Show made a Parody-Version about this Adaptation, just with H*t*e* and N*z*s (I dont want to write it down cause Im afraid RU-vid will delete the Comment Then) And this Version was actually Funny

Tiny Tim shouldn’t be on Scrooge. It’s Victorian England. He gets leeches. At most there’s something to be said about a better environment helping with more positivity, but Tim is basically screwed outside that. So they’re gaslighting him by placing Tim’s death on his shoulders

Duck, I'm asking this in good faith: Could you pretty please take a break or leaven the videos you do? I'm fine with 3 vids a week, and hearing you do 900 vids this year is worrying. Please take a day to just Sleep.

Next, the home for all Winter Schlock, Hallmark. Next week: NC’s review of “Holiday in Handcuffs” called “the most insane Christmas Rom-Com”

- This and Gremlins are my go to Christmas Movies - Holly is a plant. - Ba Hum Duck is a Looney Tunes version of Christmas Carol - Unrelated topic but if you didn't already know Chainsaw Man's next arc is coming in the form of a movie

Fun fact: this is my favorite Christmas carol anything, as a kid I would watch and rewatch, on VHS ,this movie religiously to the point it annoyed my parents and siblings

Hey, dude, I appreciate the hustle but please keep your health up. 900 videos is a lot, don't overwork yourself

9:37 Critic breaking the 4th wall in reaction to you

As a change of pace for the holidays; I actually think next weeks NC reaction should be to his review of 'Best F(r)iends' It's not Christmas per se; but it is one of the most heartwarming NC reactions he's done in a while. I wont spoil the surprise as to why :)

I love the muppets Christmas carol

Kyle, buddy, you are a complete and total, 100% genuine freak. And that's OK! There's no time limit on learning. Well, okay there is, but with your healthy life-style you probably have a good 70 years left to learn plenty.

It would be a Christmas wish if you watch a Cinema Snob episode. He does Exploitation movies and knock-off movies. Some Adults film. I would like to see your reaction to his “Gladiformer” movie. A really bad knock off of transformers. Oh one more please. Also look at “Frozen Land”.

3:35 - Actually No ! Not only ! He reviews many Movies He has a whole Playlist about the Friday the 13th-Movies Sometimes he reviews Adult-Movies

My justification for the cut song being left in? The song at the end of the movie. It's a reprise (titled "The Love We Found"), and thus doesn't hit quite as hard without the original version to contrast with.

So I like this film it is a great Muppet film and Christmas Carol adaptation. However, my favorite Christmas Carol adaptation is the movie musical from 1970 simply called Scrooge with Albert Finney (the old man in Big Fish). I first discovered that one a few years ago and have watched it every year since. Also the film was directed by Jim Henson’s son Brian Henson who basically took over the legacy of his father.

Cinema snob became known for….those….reviews but its not ALL he does

If you want to see some interesting industry story, i highly advise Breadsword's video's, especially his robin hood or bug's life videos. Hopefully you see this !

I can understand not loving this adaptation but personally I think nostalgia critic Is a bit of a Christmas Carol snob.

3:30 cinema snob does have "Adult" content that he reviews though nowadays its more like obscure movies no one would of remember or seen in a million years like "Fun in balloon land" aka a macy day parade that had no budget and ingested a good chunk of acid and also some rather insane religious movies (those films tend to go off the rails) like a personal series i enjoy from him is a recent thing which is the "X in film" which is basically looking at a good chunk of movies from decades ago such as 1960 1981-1983 and such heck hes done reviews on the nightmare on elm street movies the friday the 13th movies and recently the hellraiser and candyman movies to be honest i would love to see you take a crack at looking at one of the reviews (perhaps watching his crossovers with doug would be a good start) such as sharknado,The Passion of the Christ, leprechaun,Black Christmas 2019,dear santa i feel like those would be a good introduction to his content (especially sharknado passion of the christ and leprechaun) TLDR:the adult reviews are scattered across his channel but they are not all that hes about

I love it.

This movie is a Christmas staple for me and my family (actually had our annual watching of it on Saturday) because it was the movie my parents saw on what was essentially their first date. It wasn’t an actual date, they just both worked at the same movie theater the year this movie released, and they both just sat at the very back of the theater watching this together Needless to say, this film means a lot to them

Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas ever

I accidentally stumbled upon this movie several years ago, and it quickly became on of my favorite Christmas Carol adaptations

I'm indifferent. I saw it once as a kid and it didn't make much of an impression on me. I always preferred the Disney versions.

Plenty of Christmas stuff, why not Hanukkah? He did Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights that’s an animated Hanukkah movie and…it’s an experience without spoiling his reaction, review or the movie’s content or what the movie’s like.

So duck, would you watch this Muppet Christmas Carol movie if DevilArtemis Kermit was in that movie

@ duck goes moo the Muppet Christmas Carol is the thing that i see every Christmas . It's the best with the Muppets the frog legs are reference the first Muppet movie called the Muppet movie about how the Muppets meet each other and the sequel the great Muppet caper was done first before the dark crystal and labyrinth and in-between seasons of fragile rock and Muppet babies and the short lived little monsters friendly monsters . Kermit sometimes lose it and yelling at the Muppet but they act like a family and every family lose it sometimes. but said they are sorry because they are still family . That's the whole idea of the Muppet and sesame Street Muppets characters that you are relate to I Kermit the frog is my favorite Muppet and gonzo . Kermit the frog is the leader and boss but does moments of anger but he does have his moments of happy and confident and worried and likes and dislike . Gonzo is the Muppet that show that if you know someone that has some things that every body says is weird and gonzo is the voice that says that it is OK to have a weird idea and not to listen to them people . Fozzie bear is the Muppet that is show that comedy is hard and keeps trying and it will work out for you .

Please react to Nostalgia Critic Ernest Saves Christmas.

Who else wants to see him react to Nostalgia Critic's "A Garfield Christmas" review? Just me? Okay.

I am a huge fan of the story of A Christmas Carol & watch some variations each year which the Muppet one is easily in my Top Favorites, & Fozzie Bear of the Muppets was perfect for portraying as Fezziwig in the book making him “Fozziwig”

I finally got to watch this movie for the first time last Monday. It is up there in adaptations of Dickens's classic tale for me. The 2009 animated film starring Jim Carey by the studio behind The Polar Express is still my #1, for the record.

This was a family tradition to watch every December growing up... And I still barely remember any of it.

Since the next NC reaction will be on Christmas, I highly suggest you react to his review of “I’ll be Home for Christmas”. It’s one of those reviews that ends with him giving a speech about the holidays.

Sooooo for the christmas special im actually gonna give 2 options. The first is another Muppet special called the Muppet Family Christmas which have both Seaseme Street (which i HOPE you know) and Fragle Rock (which is featured in one of NCs commercial special, the tv that encourages you to read). Nothing really big or grand about it its just very sweet and full of Christmas spirit. The 2nd one is the Garfield Christmas Special. Mainly for the same reason its just sweet.

I would recommend the Ninja Turtles Christmas special and I'm surprised no one is asking you to go back to JonTron and watch his Christmas specials. Also, I can't get over the fact there is over a hundred Christmas Carols and you never heard of them. It's the most overly adapted Christmas thing ever.

React to Nostalgia Critic review of Muppet Family Christmas

18:25 - Dude ... I guess if you do less Videos most of us would be ok with that !

I'm shocked you dont have a video in your playlist for NC's review of Eight Crazy Nights. It isn't about Christmas, but Hannukah! It's an awful, AWFUL movie made by Adam Sandler!

This is the video that made me unsub from Nostalgia critic To watch this movie, to see the height of acting, and think it would be better to blare horrendous music all over it? It's an insult to Michael Caine, an insult to everybody in the film industry, and insult to Jim Hensen, an insult to his viewers, and it's even an insult to himself.
