[...] "the new version will have to be special indeed if it is to topple
The Muppet Christmas Carol from its perch as the definitive adaptation
of the Dickens classic – and perhaps the greatest Christmas movie of its
decade. The 1992 film was an extraordinary accomplishment, especially in
light of the fact that its 27-year-old first-time director, Brian
Henson, was making it while grieving for his father, Muppets creator Jim
Henson."
