A holiday stop-motion cartoon with a crazy combination that

chance to shine in their spotlight while tugging on your heartstrings in a way
that only Muppets can.

In this 1947 film, the spirit of Christmas is on trial in a
courtroom; it’s a beautiful tale of hope and holiday spirit, it could easily
become your favorite part of Christmas.

With no holiday spirit at all, the Grinch would be happy to
see Christmas in Whoville fail, and does everything in his power to make sure
it fails in spectacular fashion.

This is an excellent, feel-good kind of movie with a little
something for everyone. It’s not just a
Christmas tale; there’s a bit of comedy, some drama and a huge amount of
holiday hijinks to satisfy everyone in the family.
