There's Probably A Major Scene Missing

The scene featuring the song "When Love Is Gone" didn't appear in the theatrical release, but was included on several older home video releases. It's recently become harder to find, though, and the version of the film currently available to stream does not feature this critical scene.

Scrooge's Scarf Grows

When Beaker first gifts Scrooge his red scarf, it's, well, Muppet-sized. In the next scene, however, it has magically grown to a full-sized scarf fit for a human.

3

Fred's Wife Clara Is Absent From The End

While Fred gets a seat at Bob Cratchit's table at the end of the film, his wife Clara is nowhere to be seen. Poor Clara.

4

But The Creepy Spider Is There

The scary looking arachnid leader of London's criminal underworld, Old Joe, is at Bob Cratchit's house for dinner... for some reason. Strange that he would get an invitation but Clara would not. Poor Clara.

5

There's A Pub Called "Statler & Waldorf's"

The red pub seen in the background of several scenes, especially near the end when Scrooge and the townsfolk are running around town singing, is named after the wisecracking Muppets who appear in the film as the Marleys.

There's Also A Store Named After Michael Caine

Scrooge and his crew also pass by a store called Micklewhite's, which is Michael Caine's real surname.

The Electric Mayhem Go Acoustic

The band playing at Fozziwig's Christmas party is none other than Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, but with this being the 19th century and all, they are without their signature electric instruments.

Sprocket From 'Fraggle Rock' Cameos

The Fraggle Rock pooch can be seen as a background character in a few of the film's scenes.

As Does The Snowman From 'A Muppet Family Christmas'

The Marleys Make A Meta Fozzie Reference

Statler and Waldorf routinely heckled Fozzie the Bear during his comedy routines on The Muppet Show, and they reference this fact in their roles as the Marleys when they tell Scrooge to "leave comedy to the bears."

Many Of Gonzo's Lines Are From The Book

Gonzo plays Charles Dickens in the movie, and as such, many of his lines are taken directly from the original story penned by Dickens, including the odd line: "Tiny Tim, who did NOT die."

12

Kermit Sounds A Little Different

The film was released in 1992, and was the first Muppet movie following the death of founder — and original Kermit — Jim Henson, who died in 1990. Therefore, it was the first time Henson didn't voice Kermit in a Muppet film, and the task went instead to Steve Whitmire.

There Are Both Real & Muppet Sheep In One Scene

14

Two Muppets Swear (Maybe)

This is debatable, but it can be argued that the film contains two examples of Muppets cursing. One occurs when Gonzo attempts to run into Scrooge's house and runs into the door, at which point he yells out something that sounds an awful lot like "damn it!" The second and more controversial occurrence is when Scrooge kicks Bunsen and Beaker out of his office and Beaker appears to flip him off. It might be his index finger, but many out there believe the meek Muppet did indeed flip the bird.

There may be another 357 sleeps till Christmas, but that doesn't mean it's too early to watch this classic again in order to see all of the bits you missed the last time you saw it.
