Muppet Christmas Carol director explains omission that caused critical kickback'
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"I made a decision that if we can't find a delightful spot to cast a well-known Muppet character, we just won't put them in the movie, he said.

The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech with reporters on the ground during developing stories. The outlet investigates topics from Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC finances to documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The publication emphasizes parsing facts from messaging at a critical moment in US history and seeks donations to continue sending journalists to speak to both sides of stories. The Independent positions itself as trusted across the political spectrum and operates without paywalls, funding quality journalism through reader support rather than subscription barriers. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) retells A Christmas Carol with Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside muppets and is regarded as a franchise high point and modern Christmas classic. Certain well-known muppet characters were omitted or minimized when no suitable role could be found, including Rowlf, a background Electric Mayhem presence, and the absence of the Swedish Chef. A personal factor also influenced the casting decisions.
