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

A muppets Christmas carol in our house too!!

clowdyweewee · 13/12/2018 21:19

I'd never seen the Muppet version until DH came into my life 22 years ago and put it on during our first Christmas together. We watch it every year without fail.

I like them all. Blackadder, Muppets, Albert Finney, even the cbeebies panto version.

jarhead123 · 13/12/2018 21:21

Wrong. Muppets is the best.

ANOTHER vote here for the MUPPETS one. Smile

"There goes Mr Humbug, there goes Mr Grim. If they gave a prize for being mean, the winner would be him!"

Love it

Muppet version for me too!

It still annoys me that they’ve chopped a song out when it’s on tv etc now ☹️

RedForShort · 13/12/2018 21:22

A Muppets Christmas Carol is not only the greatest version of A Christmas Carol, but the greatest Christmas film. The end, no arguments.
ReggieKrayDoYouKnowMyName is very wise; and correct.

GreenEggsHamandChips · 13/12/2018 21:23

Muppet Christmas Carol is the best.

BadgerWithSprouts · 13/12/2018 21:24

Yanbu as the animation is amazing, but I do love the Patrick Stewart one as well

Muppets Christmas Carol is the absolute best!

needanappp · 13/12/2018 21:35

I AGREE!

I'm so glad there is at least one other person in the world with this same opinion haha! And I don't even like Jim Carey!

UpstartCrow · 13/12/2018 21:36

The Disney one is terrifying.

JudasPrudy · 13/12/2018 21:38

All versions are good because the story is ace is muppets is #1

JudasPrudy · 13/12/2018 21:39

Sorry that didn't make sense (I've had 2 glasses of wine) but I'm sure you get the gist.

Muppet Christmas Carol! It's one of our traditions.

We always watch the Patrick Stewart one too.

hotchocolate86 · 13/12/2018 21:45

upstartcrow I thought I was the only one to find the Disney one terrifying. It’s enough to give you nightmares.
Also, the muppets is definitely the best.

snowball98 · 13/12/2018 21:47

Muppets!!

AnnabelleLecter · 13/12/2018 21:52

Muppet Christmas carol is by far the best.
"We're Marley and Marley. Whoooo"
Love it. I love Gonzo the narrator.
It's infiltrated our lives- We always 'light the lamps' now.
Disney one is second favourite.

belleandsnowwhite · 13/12/2018 21:57

The Muppet Christmas Carol has been my Christmas Eve tradition for over 25 years now.

EsmesRedPetticoat · 13/12/2018 22:01

Muppets! We watch it all year round!

Monst3ra · 13/12/2018 22:05

It's so good to see so much love for the Muppet version. I DC watched it twice today.

Hippopotas · 13/12/2018 22:11

Muppets all the way.
