2001’s A Christmas Carol: The Movie is incredibly misnamed. The ambitious self-proclamation of its title doesn’t come close. It was released theatrically in Britain with only a DVD release in the U.S. It is animated and runs a bit more than an hour. The DVD has an edited beginning and […]
When I decided to start gathering different versions of A Christmas Carol in the 1980’s, I came across the first VHS release of this Australian outing. Admittedly, I thought I had found the 1969 Australian animated version (which was the first one I has seen as a child). It was […]
I watched my favorite animated version last night. But I thought it fitting to include it as a second post today, following the 1951 version as they both star Alastair Sim. The best animated adaptation of A Christmas Carol ever done is the 1971 Chuck Jones production. It remains a […]
Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol. I wonder how many folks that first read that rolled their eyes? I wonder how many others may have had their eyes light up? Even though I watch this every year, it’s not always included in the blog (this is the first time in 2 years). […]

This was the one that started it all for me. This is the first A Christmas Carol I remember watching as a child the first time it was broadcast on U.S. television. It is the first of two Australian animated versions; this one was made in 1969 (the other was […]
The 1994 Japanese / American joint venture is probably best for child viewing. It is one of the ones I don’t watch consistently every year. I watched it last year – the last time before that was was 2015. It was released on DVD in the early 2000’s. This endeavor […]
