it was pretty cool, definitely funny.

As Scrooge, Michael Caine rises to the challenge and helps find the pathos beneath the puppetry.

Will kids like the movie? The kids around me in the theater seemed to, although more for the Muppets than for the cautionary tale of Scrooge.

Vastly enjoyable despite the syrupy, soppy song bit in the middle (go make a glass of mulled wine during it). Michael Caine is perfect in the role and there are many genuine belly laughs.
