Line 1:

* [[Critic Proof]]: It wasn't totally ''panned'' on release, but it got mixed reviews from critics (including "Two Thumbs Down!" from Siskel and [[Roger Ebert|Ebert]]). Talk to most Muppets and/or Dickens fans today, though, and they'll almost certainly tell you that the movie was very good and stands among the best adaptations of the story by a long shot.

* [[Ear Worm]]: Just about every song in the whole movie.
Line 16:
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: The Ghost of Christmas Past, an unholy CG combination of human and Muppet. And perfectly in keeping with Dickens' description.
** It's markedly less strange than the thing described in the book, which is more like an [[Eldritch Abomination]] in appearance.
* [[Vindicated
* [[The Woobie]]: Poor Bean Bunny. He has the door slammed in his face, a wreath is hurled at him, and to top it all off, we see him shiver in a pile of newspapers on the street - a reminder of the well-meaning gentlemen's points regarding the poor and homeless - and how, even though "There's Only One More Sleep 'til Christmas", there are still those on the street without food, shelter or family.
* [[
** Although averted with most of the Muppet characters, who fit their roles like a glove. Highlights include Kermit as the put-upon Bob Crachit, Robin the Frog as Tiny Tim, and Gonzo as the narrator.
