Brian Henson’s THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL
(G, 1992, 85 min)

The Muppets star in the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge receives visits from ghosts of three Christmases—past, present, and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man is past any hope of redemption and happiness.

Followed by:

Donald Petrie’s GRUMPY OLD MEN
(PG-13, 1993, 105 min)

In Wabasha, Minnesota, retirees John Gustafson and Max Goldman are feuding next-door neighbors. Living alone, they spend their time ice fishing, trading insults, and pulling cruel practical jokes on each other, including John leaving a dead fish in Max’s truck. John and Max find themselves attracted to Ariel Truax, a free-spirited English professor who moves in across the street and are soon competing for her affections.
