Family screening of 'The Muppet Christmas Carol', directed by Brian Henson, as part of 'Christmas at QUAD'.
The Muppet Christmas Carol is screening at QUAD on Thursday 24 December, part of the venue's Christmas at QUAD programme. It's the Muppets' take on Charles Dickens' classic tale, with the greedy, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge, played by Michael Caine, visited on Christmas Eve by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, and shown a path towards redemption. Alongside him is the kind, humble Bob Cratchit, played by Kermit the Frog, and his family. The film invites audiences to join Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppets in a merry, magical version of the story.
It's the 1992 film, directed by Brian Henson, and runs for 89 minutes. It's rated U, so it's one for the whole family to sit through together. The screening is part of Christmas at QUAD, the venue's wider run of festive events, so it fits right into the lead-up to the big day.

The screening starts at 11:30 on Christmas Eve, which puts it in that mid-morning slot when the kids are usually wide awake and the house is already in full Christmas mode. Tickets are £10.50 standard and £8.50 for concessions, and it's all happening at QUAD in Derby.
