The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Heartwarming and funny -- this one's not just for the kids.
Michael Caine makes a wonderful Scrooge. I love how he plays it "straight," never talking down to the muppets or in any way letting us know that he knows he's surrounded by toys. He has one scene in particular that makes me cry (Christmas past when he's singing along as his fiancée breaks up with him) and many more that move me deeply.
B+
