To go back where they keep our kind\\

* Scrooge himself in the first act. Michael Caine's Scrooge is much more wrathful and physically intimidating than in other versions of the story, especially considering most of the people he's bullying are sweet, innocent, two-foot-tall Muppets.

*** This is FridgeBrilliance if you've read the original story. The ghosts that Marley meets up with outside are all repentant because their punishment isnt just being forced to wander for eternity carrying the weight of their cruelty, they are now exposed every minute of every day with the misery they could have helped alleviate but just ignored. But they can't ignore it anymore, and eternity is a ''very'' long time...
