Merry Christmas, everyone!
Tis the season to be editing, and so I’m very happy to present you with:
This is a very light edit of one of my favourite Christmas movies. I’m a big Muppets fan and I tend to watch this nearly every year (as well as reading the Dickens novella) – however, watching it on a yearly basis, the same things always bother me - The odd cliché line, overly kiddish element, and more than anything – THE PENGUIN CHRISTMAS SKATING PARTY; a corny scene that drags and generally feels like it’s only there for the sake of having penguins in a Christmas Movie.
For those familiar with the source material, here's an example of the largest cut made:
Original:
The Gist:
Full Cut-list:
Special Thanks:
File size - 2.89 GB (MP4)
Original runtime - 85 minutes
Time Cut - 4
Edit runtime - 81 minutes
This is very much a personal edit, but there’s always the chance that some of you have similar feelings and would like to see it - so here you go!

For those familiar with the source material, here's an example of the largest cut made:
The Gist:
- Trimmed Gonzo and Rizzo antics
- Improved comic timing (IMO)
- Reduced cringeworthy/cliche elements
- Added outtakes to credits (just for fun)
Full Cut-list:
- Added fanedit.org templates
- Added Scribbling Man branding
- Added new title
- Cut Gonzo and Rizzo commenting during Scrooge and nephew convo
- Heavily trimmed “The Penguins Christmas Skating Party”
- Cut “there are only two things I hate in life…”
- Cut “you are such an idiot” – “What?” etc.
- Trimmed Gonzo catching Rizzo
- Cut “Hello world, goodbye lunch”
- Cut “Spirit” “Yes?” “Nothing”
- Cut post-dragged-through-the-woods chicken introduction
- Cut “Nice Kitty”
- Cut Gonzo’s “What?” after “You have all the fun”
- Removed cheesy song from credits and replaced with a gag reel (taken from 50th Anniversery Edition special features)
- Re-synced outtakes (for whatever reason, the source featurette is slightly out of sync)
Special Thanks:
- to Sinbad, ThrownGPR and Captain Kahijt for technical assistance
- to my sister, for doing a quick poster design, despite her busy schedule
- to good beer and King Kong (1933), for providing much needed brain relief
