A Christmas carol is 1 of my favorite films of all time and as much as I love all the other versions Disney’s animated Jim Carey’s 1 is the best? Hard hat donned just in case Grin

You are wrong. Scrooged is the best version

FitzChivarly · 13/12/2018 20:29

Muppet Christmas Carol all the way

EspressoPatronum · 13/12/2018 20:30

Yabvvu.

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best by far.

ShatnersBassoon · 13/12/2018 20:31

T'isn't. Not even top 5. Go back and watch all the other versions Xmas Grin

Another vote for Muppet Christmas Carol.

Beaker flipping a finger is a cheeky sight.

And I also love Muppet Treasure Island.

gaggiagirl · 13/12/2018 20:32

Yanbu it's the absolute best. I adore it.

PinkBuffalo · 13/12/2018 20:32

YAbu. Muppet Christmas carol is the best here

TooLittleTooLate80 · 13/12/2018 20:34

Muppets just shades Scrooged.

Muppets all the way. No question, no arguments, it’s just fact!

Kintan · 13/12/2018 20:36

No way - the Patrick Stewart version, closely followed by the Muppets!

Karmagoat · 13/12/2018 20:38

the Muppet Christmas carol is my favourite Christmas film ever.

longnight · 13/12/2018 20:39

Nope blackadders Christmas carol was best Smile
Though am I the only one who heard Kate Winslet singing when I saw the title? Now have that was worm for a few days.

ReggieKrayDoYouKnowMyName · 13/12/2018 20:39

YABVINCREDIBLYUnreasonable, A Muppets Christmas Carol is not only the greatest version of A Christmas Carol, but the greatest Christmas film. The end, no arguments.

Jim Carey’s animated version of A Christmas Carol is the best version

I like the Patrick Stewart one too. I really like George C. Scott as Scrooge as well, but the rest of that film is a bit half-arsed.

Meralia · 13/12/2018 20:42

Definitely muppet Christmas carol. No others come close.

Suziepoozie · 13/12/2018 20:49

Another Muppet vote. Comedy aside, it has my favourite ever line to describe Scrooge

“If being means a way of life you practice and rehearse, then all that work is paying off because Scrooge is getting worse.”

user1486250399 · 13/12/2018 20:51

YANBU - although Alistair Sim's version (Scrooge) is my favourite, the Jim Carey one is a very very close second.

clowdyweewee · 13/12/2018 20:55

Another vote for the Muppets here!!

EleanorShellstropper · 13/12/2018 20:57

YABVU!!!

Muppet's Christmas Carol is hands down the best.

BackIntoTheSun · 13/12/2018 20:57

Muppets is the best ('Light the lamp not the rat!'), then the Patrick Stewart version

Yabvvvvvvvvvvvu A Muppets Christmas Carol is the best version by a long shot. There’s not even a contest

NinkyNonkyNinkyNonk · 13/12/2018 21:00

I am enjoying that there is so much love for the Muppets in this thread... a winner of a film by anyone's standards.
