"No, I'm a large absent-minded spirit!"
My favorite moment from this version. It's impossible not to smile along Caine upon hearing the line.
This is not my signature. This is IMDb's automatic translation of my signature.
I like when the rats say "our assets are frozen" in the beginning. That's a good one
shareThere are so many fantastically wonderful lines in this version. Although I particularly like that along with the Muppets' great lines, they also take so much from Charles Dickens' original version. Like someone said, one of the best lines is "If you like this, you should read the book." It's great that Michael Caine played the whole thing straight so the Muppets could have the funny lines.
As far as the rats go, my favorite is when Scrooge gives them buckets of coal. Funny how lots of kids think that to mean that Scrooge thought they were bad, when it was Scrooge's way of unfreezing their assets!
