Dec 18, 2023 · Scrooge (1935) Shot in the midst of The Depression, the first sound version of A Christmas Carol digs deeper into the despair and horror of the story than any other adaptation. It’s a bleak ...

- A Christmas Carol (1951) Directed by Brian Desmond Hurst. Here it is! The granddaddy of them all! The best adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol of all time, IMHO.
- A Christmas Carol (1938) Directed by Edwin L. Marin. Appearing just a few short years after Edwards' version, Edwin L. Marin's 1938 take featured Reginald Owen in the role of Scrooge, along with Hollywood darlings Gene and Kathleen Lockhart (and their daughter June Lockhart) as the Cratchits.
- Scrooge (1935) Directed by Henry Edwards. Now we're solidly into the classics. Again, your mileage may vary here, but for my money and time, these three are the best traditional adaptations of A Christmas Carol that currently exist.
- A Christmas Carol (1971) Directed by Richard Williams. Our last animated version of A Christmas Carol came as a surprise to me. It's one of the few versions I hadn't seen before and is now one of my favorites.

A Female Take On Scrooge
While most versions of a Scrooge movie are played by old men, typically in Victorian London, Cicely Tyson presented a version of the character for Hallmark in 1997. As Ebenita Scrooge, A Fall From Grace star Cicely Tysonportrayed a grumpy, rich older woman in the 90s who runs a savings and loan firm. It's an updated version of the story, but falls into the trap that other 90s television films do of leaning into the 90s tropes a little too hard. Marley's ghost, for instance, appears to Ms. Scr...
Kelsey Grammer Tries On The Role
Starring Frasier's Kelsey Grammer, the 2004 adaptation of A Christmas Carol movie aired on NBC and was also produced by Hallmark. This production was an adaptation of the 1994 stage musical but was somewhat of a lackluster version of the show. Kelsey Grammer gives a good performance as Scroogebut somehow feels a little miscast. It's hard to believe him as a mean old miser, but maybe his inherent charm is what makes it more believable that his Scrooge can change. This Scrooge movie starring Ke...
A Miniseries Adaptation
In 2019, the BBC and FX collaborated on a miniseries version of A Christmas Carol, which starred Guy Pearce as a younger version of the miserly Scrooge. This version took a darker look at the story and explored the reasons that Scrooge became so cold and uncaring.

This version also leans...
An Animated Carol
In 2022, Netflix released yet another A Christmas Carol movie titled Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.

The Scrooge movie hits all the major points of the classic Dickens tale, but with some obvious departures, like the fact that Scrooge has a dog. Scrooge has a great voice cast, with Luke Evans p...
