first popular adaptation of Charles
Dickens 1843 holiday classic in the
early 20th century there were already
several film versions of this morality
tale but it was the 1938 Edition that

released an unprecedented 375 prints of
the movie during the holiday season so
it could reach the widest audience
possible number 9 the definitive film
adaptation even though the 1938 version
remained the go-to holiday staple for
years it was eventually bested by the
1951 Alastair sim vehicle Scrooge it’s
faithfulness to the source material
meant it was eventually recognized as
the greatest film adaptation of Dickens
story ever made not surprisingly it
became the version tv-channels chose to
show during the holiday season Christmas
you say the same thing Merry Christmas
it’s just as inconvenient as it was the
Christmas before good night number 8 a
unique honor my dear look who it is
just as the 1951 Edition is considered
the all-time greatest Alastair sim
remains the most popular incarnation of
Ebenezer Scrooge the actor even reprised
his role as the bitter old miser in a
1971 animated television adaptation and
ironically this is the only version of
the story to ever be awarded an Oscar
after the win the Academy changed its
rules so made for TV cartoons were never
again eligible for award consideration
no
spirit no no no number seven a sick
little boy while Tiny Tim is a small
character he is vitally important to
Scrooge’s story as he serves as a
representation of the consequences of
the misers actions in the future it has
revealed that Tim will die as his family
was never able to afford treatment oh oh
we also know that tim is sick and needs
crutches but were never told what his
illnesses top Guess’s include kidney
failure or rickets caused by a lack of
vitamin D both of which were treatable
in the 1800s number six silent night
kisses song Tim that while we’re on the
subject of Tiny Tim in 1999’s at
Christmas Carol he sings the song silent
night that’s a bit odd considering it
wasn’t translated from German to English
until the year 1863 a full 20 years
after Dickens wrote his story so either
its inclusion was a careless goof or
Tiny Tim as a well-traveled linguist
who’s been to Austria we choose to
believe the letter
number five nothing hurts like the
present thanks boys get the nurse
Dickens tail got a comedic adaptation
with 1988 Scrooged in this case the
Scrooge is a ruthless TV exact named
Frank cross played by Bill Murray
the ghosts show him a painful past and
future but turns out he experienced the
most pain from the ghost of Christmas
present as actress Carole King was told
to manhandle him in the process she
accidentally tore Murray’s lip so much
that filming was put on hold if you
touch me again I’m gonna rip your
goddamn wings off number for sci-fi
connection we’re pretty sure Charles
Dickens never imagined his work being
adapted by Muppets let alone with gonzo
and Rizzo as narrators they won’t last
long away you’re eating them I’m
creating scarcity dry surprises are but
that’s exactly what happened with 1992’s
The Muppet Christmas Carol
now as Muppet fans know gonzo is an
alien so basically an alien narrates a
tale about time travel think that’s too
sci-fi for the holidays
Star Trek’s Patrick Stewart plays
Scrooge in the 1999 adaptation
I’ve not the power spared number three
dead and alive the 2004 film a Christmas
carol the musical offers unique
alterations to the timeless story for
example in this production
Scrooge meets all three Christmas
spirits in human form before
encountering them as ghosts think that’s
unsettling over the course of the movie
his teeth change from rotten to white
and back again at random

yesterday
number two Disneyfication good morning
mr. Scrooge did you know that 2009’s
motion capture film starring Jim Carrey
is Disney’s third adaptation of the
story
the first was Mickey’s Christmas Carol
and the second was the Muppet Christmas
Carol that makes Jim Carrey’s the first
version that doesn’t fill the roles with
another popular character like Mickey
Mouse or Kermit playing Bob Cratchit or
Goofy in the role of Jacob Marley Marley
watch out for that flushed
step number one bah humbug taking the
top spot on a trivia list is a fact
about Scrooge’s signature retort bah
humbug is a widely recognised phrase and
even more widely misunderstood Christmas
a humbug uncle you don’t mean it
not just a dismissive response used by a
crotchety old man
humbug actually refers to a person or
thing that is dishonest
Scrooge believed that everyone was
pretending to care about each other and
that he was the only person honest
enough to admit how he truly felt if I
could work my will every idiot who goes
about with Merry Christmas on his lips
should be boiled in his own pudding
lucky for him he learned the truth in
the end what’s your favorite piece of a
Christmas carol trivia for more
