I tried to play one of the special features on my mobile device, “Frogs, Pigs and Humbug.” No sound!!! Please rectify this problem. The movie and other special features work.

Out of all the movies based on a Christmas Carol this movie featuring the muppets is the closet rendition of the film available today and is both enjoyable for Adults and Children alike..some people are said that the song when love is gone is not in this edition this is the original edition that was released in theaters and the song was not in it and was added later but it is still a perfect movie without it the muppets always do a great job and will always recommend this movie I watch it every Christmas
On a side note the missing song is in the extras section of the movie to watch

I almost bought this fanatastic movie. I thought it would be nice to have on digital. But they took one of my favorite scenes out, "when love is gone". Thats just sad disney. No thanks, i'm keeping my money.

This has always been one of my favorite versions of A Christmas Carol. Humor for kids and adults with fun songs. However, I am disappointed by the digital release of the film due to it cutting an entire scene from Christmas Past. Young Belle sings a goodbye explaining why they didn’t marry. While the song does appear in the ending credits, it’s sad that the context is lost due to the scene cuts.

This is by far the most enjoyable adaptation I have ever seen.

This has been a holiday favorite for years but in this version Belle’s song, “The Love Has Gone,” is missing.

I'm so happy "When Love Is Gone" has been added as an extra. I know it cannot be re-inserted into the movie without Disney doing a re-edit of the theatrical print, but this was all I was looking for as a compromise. Yay!!

This movie is one of our families favorite to watch at Christmas. I was very disappointed that this purchase didn't include both versions of the movie. The version with the extended scenes is the best which this unfortunately didn't include. I would love to get a refund but apparently that isn't possible. The movie with extended scenes is a 5 star, this version is 3 stars in my opinion.

A cute, fun, family-friendly movie that captures the fun spirit of Christmas while teaching about the TRUE meaning of Christmas! The Muppets did a great job interpreting the classic Charles Dickens story! Recommended for Christmas!

Belle’s song “When Love is Gone” is a critical scene. It fleshes out more of what Ebenezer sacrificed for his greed, and the closing song is a counterpoint to it. Disney: Please fix this egregious oversight. Please include the scene in the next BluRay release of this movie. You’ll sell a ton of them. I won’t pay for this movie until it is sold complete.

Disney, put the most important sene back in. I thought you where all about musicals. Why did you delete a song of all things!!! This isn't what I paid for!!! This isn't what I saw in the theater!!!!

That scene wasn't seen in the movie why didn't they put that part when she's singing when love is gone it's suppose to be in their but no it's not either way the movie is good but it's not the same because when I had this movie on VHS it had that part in the movie

If I had to choose 3 favorite Muppet movies, it would be THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE MUPPETS (2011), and MUPPETS MOST WANTED. This one will always be #1 in my heart ( not #2.)

I own the VHS and blu ray copies of this fantastic movie but I am sad to say that they have cut out "when love is gone" from the blu ray version and many other versions, it's not apples fault they were given this version of the film to sell, the song was apparently cut because Disney thought that the song wouldn't appeal to kids.
Growing up watching the VHS version (which had the song) I did not like the song that much, but as I grew older I developed an appreciation for it and it's beauty. I realize now how much more the song adds to the movie. Disney needs to release a version of the film that has the song, also apple needs the get the soundtrack...

I remember seeing this movie as a kid. I would watch it religiously every other night during the week leading up to Christmas day with Hot Chocolate and ginger snaps. Every song, every laugh, and every lesson never get old.
If you’re looking to show your kids something great for Christmas, you just can’t beat this movie. The acting is superb (Michael Caine is without a doubt a superb Scrooge-and no matter how many other Scrooges I see on the big screen, they will always be compared in my mind to Caine’s performance), the songs and the score are catchy and inspiring, and the movie never loses a beat. As Rizzo says at the end, “Nice Story Mr. Dickens.” To which Gonzo (Dickens) replies, “Oh Thanks, if you like this you should read the book.” You and your kids will love this movie, and it’ll become an instant classic in your home during the holiday season.

We have watched this movie for years as a Christmas tradition. Loan our VHS to someone and it was never returned, so we thought we would just purchase it from iTunes. Our tradition has been destroyed with the omission of one of the essential songs and themes of the movie, "When Love is Gone."
So disappointed in a waste of our money and tradition ruined.

I grew up watching this movie. I was very excited to get a digital copy. However, I was disappointed that they cut the part where Belle sings. I didn't even know they did that. Anyway, I think they should upload a new version with the song in it. I love that song!

The song where Bell sings was cut out. That song is one of my favorite parts of the movie. I thought that when I payed for it I was getting the whole thing. I would either like this to be fixed or I would like my money back. This movie is one or the best christmas movies out there. I would hate for everyone not to see the whole thing.

Hey! What the heck happened here???? There are missing songs! Why is this a condensed version? I paid for and wanted the whole thing!! Made me sad... I do love the muppets... And this is still a great version of the dickens story! So I will still recommend it... Just wish it was all here.

Of all the versions of the classic story A Christmas Carol, this is the best. Not too dark like some versions and Rizzo and Gonzo steal the show as they narrate the story. Only bummer is the love song between the Scrooge and his once future bride was cut :-( from the online version. Must see!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! Im 24 and I watch it whenever it on television. Then this year I found it at KMart and bought it. The one thing I didnt like about the movie whenever I watched it in the past was the song "The Love is Gone". I just thought it went on and on and on! When I watched the movie this time I watched the widescreen version and when it was getting to the part I was plesantly surpised to find it just skipped over it. I love this movie. Song or not people need to get over it and give it 5 stars. You will never find a better Christmas movie. When I have kids they will have the joy of watching this every year like i did.

this is my favorite christmas movie ever. im 20 years old and i still cry when scrooge visits the future and tiny tim died. I think its the perfect blend of the classic tale and of the beloved muppets. ms piggy is perfect as mrs.cratchet(?). i think little 5 year olds will think its a little scary but i think the older kids would love it.
