    ★★★

    A British TV comedy special of the Christmas Carol tale. I'll be honest, this starts so dreadfully unfunny that I almost skipped it completely but once we get past the introduction and meet Scrooge, it opens up to an amusing little special. Worth the watch.

    Milton Keynes is still considered to be hell, both in '85 and 2024.

    A truly awful puppet adaption of A Christmas Carol. Just watch The Muppets version, don't torment yourself.

    A very faithful but, unfortunately, painfully dry adaption of the play. There's really not much exciting here - it's background TV at best. Animation is a bit drab too.

    A cliff notes adaption of a Christmas Carol, a straight 10 years after its similar "The Christmas Carol" from 1949. The acting in this version is perhaps a little better, but the sets are very, very cheap looking (to the films detriment). It skips a little too much, making some dialogue seeming out-of-place or less effective, but overall it covers the main plot points decent enough.

    spooky smoke to illustrate how ghostly a spooky scene is happens a lot in this film

    In the current day? It's mostly a novelty watch, but overall not a terrible one.
