Oh, Christmas Carol fucking hardcore. Not only is it the Muppets, but Michael Caine is an absolutely bitchin' Scrooge. Not to mention, aside from there being two Marleys, it's one of the most book accurate film versions of Christmas Carol ever.
I'm going to have "We're Marley and Marley....whooooooooooooooa" stuck in my head all day now.

I voted for the original. The second one was a kinda weak follow-up, and Manhattan was just more of the same. Treasure Island and Christmas Carol were not bad flicks, but I guess I have a basic problem with Muppet versions of old classics. I just can't take it seriously when a live-action humanoid is standing there arguing with an 18-inch Muppet. There's suspending disbelief, and then there's "Oh come on". Never saw Muppets from Space, so I guess the original wins by process of elimination.
I really do like The Muppets. I bought the first season of The Muppet Show on DVD. But Muppets and classic literature just don't mesh for me.

They're meant to be taken seriously?
Also, Christmas Carol is by far the best. Gonzo as Charles Dickens as The Narrator. Genius.

Half an hour later and I still can't get that fucking song out of my head.
"I remember the little tykes all standing in the snowbank, with their little frostbitten teddy bears! Aaaahahaha!"
Great fucking movie. Not just my favorite Muppet movie, but probably my favorite Christmas movie.
