holy shit i totally forgot this existedMuppets is great, but also shoutout to the 30min Disney one from the 80s with Scrooge McDuck as Ebeneezer Scrooge and Mickey as Bob. I've watched it about 5-10 times this christmas with my daughter, and I loved it as a kid, and it's as good as an adult as it was then. Although I always thought it was longer, like a full hour, it's pretty short.
The scene of the giant taking the roof off the houses and peeking inside, or using the light post as a flashlight is great.
I used to LOVE this
Muppet Christmas Carol.
Hands down
honorable mentions for Scrooge's and Mickey's Christmas Carol

This one. It's charming, snappily-paced, and just the right length for holiday viewing.Muppets is great, but also shoutout to the 30min Disney one from the 80s with Scrooge McDuck as Ebeneezer Scrooge and Mickey as Bob.

Muppets, easily, with the caveat that I think the Alastair Sim version is better... but the question was favourite, and god, it's wonderful.
While I wouldn't claim it's *good*, particularly, I'd also quite like to nod towards the 2000 adaptation with Ross Kemp of all people as "Eddie Scrooge" for having an interesting Groundhog Day element added to the storyline

Hands down best Scrooge.The right answer.
Had the best Scrooge too.
i was scrooge in my high school's production. it was a musical, not sure where the songs came from as i'd never heard them before
muppets, probably

Watched them ALL again this past week. Muppets and the one with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge are still the closes first and second place possible. The Muppets one is just too perfect to not be number 1.
This one. Fantastic version. Which it streamed free somewhere...
I know it's not "free" but it is on Prime I believe. I can't really watch it anymore as I have a very hard time with Christmas and anything that reminds me of how much I used to like the season, but it's there last I checked.
I'm a big fan of the 1938 version. Something about the way all the characters emote really stands out to me.
Im also a big fan of the Muppets version, even as someone who doesn't care much for the muppets. The music works shockingly well.
I also want to give a shout-out to the Jim Carrey version. It is very faithful to the source material.

Muppets...in fact I think there is a strong argument for it being the best Christmas movie ever...
George C Scott was the best Scrooge IMO.
Patrick Stewart is just too likable to be accepted as a proper Scrooge.

The George C Scott version is my favorite, but there are still a few adaptations I need to see.
The Flintstones one was always my favorite. I really liked how they made it into a frame narrative.
The George C Scott version is the best version in my opinion. It at the very least has the best ghost of Christmas present or at least my favourite.
