The Muppet Christmas Carol

Continuity mistake: When the song about Ebeneezer Scrooge is about to end, just as Ebeneezer is walking down the last lane, the first Muppet you'll see to the left when he has come down the stairs is wearing a red weird hat. Just a second after Scrooge has walked past the lady with the funny hat, when they sing, "If being mean's a way of life you practice and rehearse," you see the same Muppet with the same hat, now standing in front of Scrooge. She had no time to get there between the two shots.

Continuity mistake: After the penguins ice skate, Gonzo and Rizzo skate, and Rizzo falls inside a barrel. If you look closely, you'll notice that Rizzo falls past the barrel hole.

Revealing mistake: When Rizzo falls down the chimney and lands on the goose at Bob Cratchit's house, he burns his feet. When he is next to Gonzo, his feet are smoking. If you look closely, you can see the holes in the puppet's feet where the smoke comes out.

Trivia: At the end of the film when Scrooge is going round being nice to everyone, as he's on his way to the Cratchit's house, we see in the background a shop called "Micklewhite's". This is Michael Caine's real surname. (01:20:55)

More trivia for The Muppet Christmas Carol

Question: Does anyone know why Belle's 'The Love Is Gone' song was deleted from the UK release of this movie? (It may be in some versions, but isn't in others).

Answer: The song was originally deleted from the theatrical release, but included on the VHS and widescreen version of the LaserDisc. On the early DVDs, it's included in only the full screen versions. It is not included on the original Blu Ray release because the original master and negative were lost. However they were found and Disney has said the song will be included on future 4K releases.

Answer: I have the UK version on video and the song is on mine but I watched it when it was shown on TV and the song wasn't on it, maybe it's something to do with the length of the film? I dunno but it's definitely on the UK release that I've got.
