i have be a fan of jim henson and his character since the very begin . the most beguiling thing about them be the love and innocence and camaraderie show . kermit be a role model of deep thinking and problem solving . a spiritual character and yet sweetly and believably so . all the other character be slightly eccentric but it demonstrate how different kind of being can co exist in a caring manner together and respect each other difference . follow movie have somewhat keep the same vibe . yet this it a very merry muppet christmas movie would have jim henson spin in his grave . these character have be completely re write to be horny and nasty and selfish and and cheesy . the cast go on to portray god a an uncaring corporate head and with a mean streak . angel a spineless and non spiritual corporate staff and and the movie be so bad i have to stop watching . i have buy it for my great nephew but fortunately i preview anything i give a child . this movie deserve the trash bin instead and have no socially redeem content or charm . shame and shame on the people who re write the character and depart from jim henson original heart center and socially conscious version . it do a terrible disservice to a great hearted man who be no longer around to defend his creation .
