\"Here's\"\"The Muppet Christmas Carol became a family tradition for our family many years ago when our kids were young. We’d make a batch of homemade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate and our family would watch that movie every Christmas eve. Once VHS tapes were available we purchased it then moved onto DVDs. Now in 2019 you can stream it in various places. This tradition has carried on even as the kids have grown and have families of their own.\u00a0 However, at some point we noticed something was not quite right… the powerful scene from Scrooge’s Christmas past where Belle sings “When Love is Gone” was missing!<\/strong>\u00a0 As we prepare for this year’s festivities my daughter Amy clarified that we HAVE to find the full version of the video that has that scene in it. So the hunt began!<\/p>\n

I assume I can find anything easily on the web but this task proved challenging. That scene was no where<\/em> to be found other than a clip of it on youtube.\u00a0 After a good deal of searching and finally reading comments on Amazon, low and behold I found a version with that scene!\u00a0 There is a very specific way to get it so below are the instructions. It does require purchasing the DVD which is currently $10.\u00a0 If anyone finds an online streaming version of it please contact me and I’ll update the post. But until then, here is how to find the full version of the Muppet Christmas Carol\u00a0 missing scene “When Love Is Gone”.<\/p>\n

We still have cinnamon rolls but I opt for the Rhodes Rolls version now a days. \u00dc\"\"<\/p>\n

Why It Was Cut<\/h2>\n

If you’d like to know why that scene was cut from the movie after initial release this info is from IMDB<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When originally showed in theaters, Belle’s song “When Love Is Gone” was cut. Director Brian Henson protested this decision, but then head of Disney Jeffrey Katzenberg felt the song was too sad for a children’s movie. The removal leaves the scene quite short and abrupt and damages the pacing. It was reinstated on all full screen home video copies of the film, including the laserdisc (wide-screen too), VHS home, and first DVD release, at the insistence of Brian Henson. For the Kermit’s 50th Anniversary Edition DVD, the full screen version includes “When Love Is Gone” and the wide-screen version cuts the song. The UK re-release from Park Circus in 2012 includes the song.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never seen it here is a clip of the missing scene. Excuse the poor quality.
