The Muppet Christmas Carol deleted scenes

Material cut from The Muppet Christmas Carol.
 	In the 1990s television syndication edit of the film, an extended version of the song "Marley and Marley" is used, including extra dialogue from Statler and Waldorf (as Jacob and Robert Marley) quoting the original Dickens text before they sing. In the middle of the song, a terrified Ebenezer Scrooge asks them, "Please, can't we go back to being funny?" The Marleys reply, "Funny? Funny?!" before resuming their song.
 	The behind-the-scenes documentary The Making of The Muppet Christmas Carol shows on set footage of the Muppet performers filming shots at Fozziwig's party that ultimately weren't used in the final cut of film - including close-ups of Ma dancing with a Whatnot and shots of the rats waltzing.
center	The song "When Love Is Gone" was originally planned to be part of the film; however, it was dropped from the theatrical release of the film after being shown to test audiences. It was not until the film was released on home video that the song was reinserted.
 	A shot of Scrooge watching Belle walk away from him is only used in the theatrical version.
 	Two additional songs were written for the film that weren't used. The songs "Room in Your Heart" (sung by Bunsen and Beaker) and "Chairman of the Board" (sung by Sam Eagle) were written by Paul Williams for the film. These musical sequences never made it into production and were not filmed, however the songs were included on the film's soundtrack album.
