ā¢ Before production began, Sir Michael Caine told producer and director Brian Henson, "I'm going to play this movie like I'm working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink, I will never do anything Muppety. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role, and there are no puppets around me." Henson replied "Yes, bang on!"
ā¢ Sir Michael Caine considers the role of Scrooge to be one of his most memorable.
ā¢ Halfway through production, Sir Michael Caine realized this movie was Brian Henson's directorial debut. Caine was deeply impressed.
