I almost forgot about "An American Christmas Carol" with Henry Winkler as a depression-era Scrooge. I haven't seen that one in years. I remember liking it as a kid, but I have no idea if it'd hold up now.

I love the 1970 musical "Scrooge," but I always enjoy the 1938 MGM version & recall the '70s animated version fondly.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

^The 70s animated version scared the beejeezus out of me as a kid. That's Alastair Sim providing the voice as well, right? Haven't seen that one in decades.

It's great, but hard to find. I can't figure out why it's been unavailable on home video, since it won an Oscar for best animated short film. YouTube is your best bet.Comment

My favorite is Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol!Comment

Looks like I'm the only one who likes the Zemeckis/Carrey one.Comment

I love how there is so many versions and all of them are at least good if not great. The 1938 MGM version with Reginald Owen introduced me to A Christmas Carol and Dickens in general in 1975 and it's my sentimental favorite. I got to see it on the big screen earlier this month in a double feature with Christmas in Connecticut. I also really enjoy the Muppet version as well as the WKRP episode that did a parody.
From Mr. Magoo and the Muppets to Sim, Finney, Scott, Cain, Owen, Winkler and Stewart to the animated, CGI, musical and TV show adaptions, it's just a great story that really hits the mark.Comment
