I know it's a little late this holiday season to ask this question but as a lover of the holidays, I'm curious what others think. I usually watch the schmaltsy, cutesie ones I watched as a kid, like The Muppet Christmas Carol or Mickey's Christmas Carol.
But it means I haven't watched the other dramatic (or possibly horror, considering the ghostly subject matter) retellings of the story as much.
Which adaptations of A Christmas Carol is your favorite?
Blackadder's Christmas Carol.
In a subversion of A Christmas Carol, the Scrooge figure is a kind, charitable person but is miserable because of how poorly he's treated by others. He's visited by ghosts attempting to cheer him up by showing him how much better a person he is compared to his evil, rich ancestors, this backfires spectacularly.
