VIDEO: Disney's MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition

The Charles Dickens-inspired classic holiday story "The Muppet Christmas Carol," rings in its 20th anniversary with the Blu-ray™ debut of this family favorite today. Check out the clip from the special collection below!

And now, a word from Gonzo: Greetings, holiday movie fans and lovers of culture, I am Gonzo … or perhaps better known to fans of this classic motion picture as literary legend Charles Dickens. Are you ready to laugh, cry, sing, frolic, cavort and enjoy yourself beyond belief!? Well, you're in luck, because this 20th Anniversary Edition of Disney's "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit that will stay with you forever-or at least until your Aunt Edna starts complaining that nobody is eating the
fruitcake she brought … again!

Available for the first time ever on Blu-ray with high definition sound and picture, so you can enjoy even more of my blue-ness, not to mention the incredible spectacle of Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Academy Award® winner Michael Caine (Best Supporting Actor, 1999, "The Cider House Rules") as Scrooge, wonderful songs by Oscar® winner Paul Williams (Best Original Song, 1976, "Evergreen" from "A Star Is Born") and, of course, my pal Rizzo the Rat as … well, Rizzo the Rat.

This is a heartwarming and hilarious holiday classic, told as never before by yours truly! Yule love it!
