5 Recommended A Christmas Carol Adaptations
It’s an understatement to call “A Christmas Carol” a Christmas classic. Not only has the timeless story endured for generations, but it’s been adapted hundreds of times across multiple mediums. The latest take (“Ebenezer”) is due in theaters this week, but in the meantime, I thought I’d whip a list of 5 recommended versions of the Charles Dickens classic.
1. A Muppet Christmas Carol- The cult classic Muppet movie does an incredible job adapting the story while putting their own unique spin on it. Plus, you can’t go wrong with Statler and Waldorf as Jacob and Robert Marley.
2. A Christmas Carol (1951)- The Alastair Sim starring film is the gold standard of film adaptations.
3. Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol- For many years the British sci-fi series “Doctor Who” had annual Christmas specials. This 11th Doctor starring special puts a Whovian twist on the story and the results are strange, rewarding, and deeply emotional.
4. A Christmas Carol (1999)- Worth seeing for the late great Patrick Stewart’s performance as Ebenezer Scrooge alone.
5. Mickey’s Christmas Carol- One of the best Disney and Mickey specials period.
