Miser Ebenezer Scrooge is awakened on Christmas Eve by spirits who reveal to him his own miserable existence, what opportunities he wasted in his youth, his current cruelties, and the dire fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways.

Christmas classic that it’s honestly hard to miss with any of the versions

Probably the best movie based on this Dickens classic.

It's pretty good. Not the best adaptation. But okay

Despite its short runtime and odd omission of Belle, this is still an enjoyable and likable adaptation.

It left something to be desired. Missed a lot of classic scenes you want to see. And Scrooge wasn't the best. Better versions are out there.

The most marvelous Cratchit family ever, but Scrooge himself was just a caricature. I didn’t care about him, even after his transformation.
