CW: Christmas, Muppets. Had the full version on VHS as a child- still cant get used to this song missing even though I used to fast forward through it... When Love Is Gone was a song performed by the character Belle (Meredith Braun) as she laments that Scrooges love for money has replaced his love for her. The song was cut from the original 1992 theatrical release by Jeffrey Katzenberg of Walt Disney Studios, who believed that the scene would not appeal to young children. The movie plays with an obvious, jarring edit when the film is played with the song missing. Brian Henson objected to their decision, believing that the song was integral to the plot (the concluding song, When Love is Found, is a direct counterpoint to it), and the song was subsequently restored to the fullscreen VHS and laserdisc editions. This song was also cut from the 20th Anniversary Edition of the film released on DVD (widescreen only; however, the fullscreen version has the song). The song was also not included on the Blu-ray, or the DVD disc that is packaged with the Blu-ray combo pack released in 2012, and this version of the film on the HD release features new and different music editing to disguise the jarring edit. The song is also absent from the edition of the film featured on Netflix. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Muppet_Christmas_Carol
