Ep.118 A Christmas Carol Retrospective

Charles Dickens' classic tale of nasty old Ebenezer Scrooge discovering the magic of Christmas through the three ghosts of Christmas' Past, Present, and Future, along with the lives he has affected in his life, is a fond holiday memory for millions of people around the world, and a holiday staple. A Christmas Carol began being adapted for film in 1901 and has been adapted over and over again with hundreds of versions for film and television that continue to this day. It is a timeless story that attracts some of the best actors in the business and every childhood favorite cartoon character has also had their own take on the tale. Invasion of the Remake takes a look at some of our favorite Scrooge films (including movies starring Jim Carrey, Alastair Sim, Patrick Stewart, Bill Murray's Scrooged, and versions featuring the Muppets, Looney Tunes, and Mickey Mouse!) as well as some recent viewings of adaptations we have never seen before.

 

From all of us here at Invasion of the Remake please have a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Joyous New Year! This is the final full length episode of 2017 but worry not we will be back in January with our next season of Invasion of the Remake!
