    There is also a Grinch Prequel called "Halloween is Grinch Night"

    19:09 - 19:35 Not only his favorite Scrooge line read, but Doug did it himself as Ask That Guy during a sketch in one of his episodes, where he answers that he has feelings for his GPS, voiced by Doug's wife, around the time he asked her to marry him, and Ask That Guy proposes to his GPS. There's a cut to time later, where Ask That Guy and his GPS are having marriage troubles, and like Scrooge and Isabelle here, Ask That Guy uses that same phrase, "I WAS A BOY!"

    Another actor I could imagine playing Scrooge would have to be David Bradley, as his perfomance as Argus Filch (the Hogwarts caretaker) in the “Harry Potter” movies shows he was born to play the part.
    Also if someone could do their own take on “A Christmas Carol”, it could be set in 1944 during World War II (101 years after the original book was published). If that could happen, Ebenezer Scrooge & Jacob Marley’s company could provide war bonds or something important enough to make them & Bob Cratchit exempt from being drafted to fight in war. On top of being ill, Tiny Tim could be a child evacuee who can’t receive medicine from overseas due to Britain cutting off imports due to the war. Meanwhile, Fred’s wife could offer Scrooge to visit for Christmas dinner, while Fred himself is away fighting in the war. Scrooge could secretly be a fascist activist who sees himself as the dictator of fascist Britain before he dies according to the Ghost of Christmas Future, even mingling with Hitler & Mussolini. In that depiction, Scrooge’s actions could indirectly cause Tiny Tim’s death in a bombing raid if the Nazis defeated the American forces & took back Normandy, far away from his parents. WHAT DO YOU THINK?!

    • @georgeeastwood6930
      @georgeeastwood6930 9 дней назад +1

      @ maybe Scrooge could be more of an antihero here, being against Christmas in this case as he considers it a waste of time & money when the war was more important, not even caring it’s important for morale! Morale is very important to keep soldiers fighting & regular citizens from going insane. Tiny Tim could actually die from an injury rather than any illness in this version, like a fence on a high cliff that Scrooge didn’t want to fund the repair for, or maybe a stampede for a shelter that Scrooge could’ve funded to improve (similar to the Bethnal Green disaster in 1943). I don’t know, just something different from Tim having an illness, & the injury could tie into the anti-war theme of this version of “A Christmas Carol” (or “A Wartime Christmas Carol” as it could be called).

    • @georgeeastwood6930

      @ that might depend on what occupation within the government he would have. Scrooge could be the leader of the ministry of food, taking over from Lord Woolton if he died in office, as food was likely more valuable than money itself (considering severe rationing). In that Christmas future, he caused much of the country to starve to death, resulting in them surrendering to the Nazis. They would install the “British Union of Fascists” as a puppet regime, led by Oswald Mosley as the new prime minister. Tiny Tim could be one of many casualties who starved to death, as a departure from the generic illness he has in every version. As a child evacuee who was very far away from London when he died, the shortage of fuel & coal made it impossible for his body to be sent home for burial & for Bob Cratchit to travel to wherever Tim was evacuated to in 1940. The forced distance could make Bob’s heartbreak about Tim’s death even MORE depressing, & Scrooge could be forced to watch Bob attempt to make his way out of London on foot, only to get arrested by 2 BUF members for breaching curfew & taken away in their car.

    I think the chase scene does have a meaning, I think it's supposed to tell us that death is always coming and no matter how much you run, it catches you, and to death, you're just a small thing to death. Notice after scrooge is caught that he's shown what happens after he died, so in a way this scene was to show that death is coming, and scrooge has to make a choice on what happens in the middle

    I still protest that The Muppet Christmas Carol is the best interpretation of the Charles Dickens classic story from December 19th, 1943. It seemed to have found a perfect balance of relatability for audiences of all ages as far as i could tell and it has been my favorite since it’s original theatrical release back 1992 when it was competing against and inevitably came up short against Home Alone 2: Lost In New York at the domestic box office. Bah humbug and on a more positive note God bless us, everyone.

    First version of A Christmas Carol I've ever seen was the one with Patrick Stewart. As for one that sticks out and is my favorite, the Muppets Christmas Carol. Now, I personally don't really care for the Muppets in general. What really sells that adaptation for me was how they handled the Ghost of Christmas Present. I always understood that Christmas Present was meant to help Scrooge see the joys of Christmas and actually start to feel what it's about, while also telling Scrooge what will happen if nothing changes. But this version of Christmas Present treats Scrooge like a friend the whole time. At no point does he take a moment to scare the absolute shit out of him like in the Jim Carrey version. And the one in the Patrick Stewart version just seems....bored most of the time. I've seen a couple other adaptations as well, but they don't stick out to me. Anyway, it seemed like out of all the adaptations, the Muppets version of Christmas Present was the most successful in showing Scrooge the true joys and meaning of Christmas, and his departure actually saddened Scrooge. And then Christmas Future, the one who is supposed to be scary, also doesn't spend alot of time scaring the shit out of Scrooge. The design is...lackluster. I always preferred the close resemblance to the Grim Reaper. That said, I do like that this Ghost of Christmas Future appears more like a ghost than in other adaptations. Anyway, the Muppets version of Christmas Future acted as more of a gentle guide, even putting a hand on Scrooge as they guide him to the next part. And when Scrooge vows to change, I feel the spirits giving Scrooge a second chance was more believable. Here with Jim Carrey's version, at best, I could see it as the spirits playing a really messed up prank on Scrooge. Other than that, it would make more sense for them to decide that they just kill him anyway or something. That said, the design for Christmas Future in the Jim Carrey version was brilliant, making them more like a shadow than a physical entity.
    Now, the ideal Christmas Carol for me would be one that combines what was done well in each adaptation, because they all bring something to the table, as far as I know. Though I can only really name two. One being the portrayal of the Ghost of Christmas Present being closer to the Muppets version. Doesn't have to actually be a Muppet, just has to do a good job at showing Scrooge the joys and meaning of Christmas. And two being Christmas Future being a shadow, though I'd say tone down the action and jumpscares by.....alot. Instead, have them be something that just gives the feeling that you know they're always there, creeping behind you. It'd be something to only send chills up your spine, even if you know the spirit doesn't actually intend to harm.

    I actually really like seeing all the different versions of a Christmas story.
    All the similarities and the differences are very interesting to me, because sometimes the alterations can be interesting twists but to see the expected is still warranted.
    That being said, one of the most interesting reinterpretations for me, actually comes from my little pony friendship is magic.
    With their episode “heartwarming tale”
    Being only a half hour long,
    (if even that)
    they zoom through the points pretty quickly they still managed to do their own thing.
    Using the fact that it’s a musical episode to get a lot of information out quickly through song.
    Their version of Scrooge hates the holiday because she was taught by somebody just as bitter as she becomes. That’s such a holiday is pointless when you should be focusing on trying to better yourself.
    And she takes this to such a literal extreme, that she quickly puts together a spell that if she uses, it would literally remove the holiday from the world and of course, the holiday spirits are going to have something to say about that.
    And their version of Christmas future, is downright chilling, with the heavy implication that it isn’t just their version of Scrooge that’s dead in the future.
