Josh's Media Reviews: My Top Five Favourite Christmas Carol Movies

My Top Five Favorite

Christmas Carol Films

Here are my top five favorite Christmas Carols films for Christmas because this story has been remade many times. It's hard to lose track of how many adaptations of this book are from Charles Dickens. So here are my top five favorite Christmas Carol films, and enjoy a Bah Humbug review.

5. A Christmas Carol 2009

You can never go wrong with Jim Carrey; he did a great job playing Scoorge in this film. This Christmas Carol film is a motion capture film, and this movie was pretty scary and intense. The film is the same as all Christmas Carols, with some changes. This was a good Christmas film, but it can be a scary heads-up. The voice cast, like Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, and the late Bob Hoskins, all do a great job in this film.

4. A Christmas Carol 1997

Now, this Christmas Carol had Tim Curry as the voice of Scrooge, and it was perfect casting because Tim Curry is excellent. This musical animated film has a great voice cast and fantastic actors like Ed Asner, Whoopi Goldberg, Michael York, and Jodi Benson. This film gives Scoorge a dog, though, which some people find weird as he is a loner, but it doesn't ruin the movie. I immensely enjoyed this film; it has a great voice cast.

3. Mickey's Christmas Carol 1983

This is a short film of A Christmas Carol, but it's a great film because Scoorge McDuck is a great character if you've watched Ducktales. The film also brought back Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, and Daisy after Walt Disney passed away. This film had great animation, and I have to be honest: when Tiny Tim died in this film, I got a little teary, but we all know that, in the end, he lived. I find this film to be well-made, and I will say it was scary. Especially Scourge was going to be buried alive, but it was all good in the end. The ending of the film was very sweet and heart warming.

2. The Muppet Christmas Carol 1992

The Muppet Christmas Carol had Michael Caine as Scoorge, and this a great film. Who doesn't love the Muppets and Michael Caine? he does a great job. This film was so much fun to watch, and the musical numbers are astounding. Michael Caine did a great job, and the Muppets are so funny in the film, especially Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat. This is a great Christmas carol adaption for the whole family.

1. A Christmas Carol 1999

This is my all-time favorite Christmas Carol film, starting with the great Patrick Stewart, aka Professor X. This film is well made and has a fantastic cast. I like this version of Scoorage mainly because it is younger. Since more Scoorage actors are in their 60s or 70s, Patrick was around 59 when he made this film. I watch this Christmas Carol film every year because it is the best Christmas Carol, and it does a better job telling the story of Scrooge. The film ends on a great note, like all these Christmas Carols end, with Scrooge working to be a better man and help his fellow man like we all should on Christmas.
