I mean, he might have liked it, it's not a bad movie and it's not a terrible adaptation of the story either. Probably would have to first explain the context of what the muppets are and a bit about the various characters to really get some of it though

Puppets have been used in comedy and cultural commentary since Punch & Judy and before. Dickens would have dug it.

I meant more the context of the individual characters. Like, having Statler and Waldorf as Marley is funnier if you know who those two are
