Charles Dickens’ immortal classic is adapted into a musical spectacular in Scrooge. The story follows miserly banker Ebenezer Scrooge as he’s visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, warning him to change his ways, and is taken on a magical journey by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. The musical numbers are surprisingly good and are worked in rather naturally. And a couple of the songs, such as “Father Christmas,” “December the 25th,” and “Thank You Very Much,” are quite catchy and fun. The sets and costumes are also well-done (with a couple of exceptions). An imaginative and inspirational film, Scrooge keeps Christmas well, “may that truly be said of us, and all of us.”

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best musical version I think. However, the cast is great and there's plenty of good moments. That you won't find in another version of a Christmas Carol.

I am sorry but this ought to be compulsory viewing for any "bah-humbugs" out there. From the wonderful Ronald Searle caricatures that open this through the superbly enjoyable performances from Albert Finney (who won a Golden Globe), Sir Alec Guinness; Dame Edith Evans, Kenneth More and a whole host More

A Classic adaptation of **'A Christmas Carol'** staying with and detering from tradition in wonderful balance. Basic cinematography ecourages story but this is clumsily acted, the setting and songs cover for simple dramatic range and awkward dialogue. But this is all forgotten due to the nature of t More

Very catchy songs.
Albert Finney was brilliant as the titular character.

One of those Christmas films I'd watch while eating Twiglets (and drink Coca Cola)!
