In real life, Dickens sold out theatres and town halls reading from A Christmas Carol, his most popular book, which helped cement his reputation as a beloved public figure and author In the late 20th Century, actor Simon Callow also re-enacted Dickens' shows reading A Christmas Carol, which resulted in his being cast as Dickens[...]

This one is of Moffat's first special, "A Christmas Carol" from 2010. "Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol" still, BBC Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol is Moffat at his most shamelessly mawkish and manipulative It feels like he was throwing as many things into the mix as possible and the result is an overcooked, sickly-sweet pudding A Christmas[...]

Never let it be said that Steven Moffat doesn't keep a promise, with the Doctor Who writer releasing the first draft of "A Christmas Carol."

To be honest, we usually just watch and then roll on, but "Bah Humbug" (we're not sure if that's the name but that was the caption accompanying it) from animator Richard Plata is a fun, twisted take on "A Christmas Carol" showing how "Rick-enezer Scrooge" would handle those three ghosts. Rick and Morty has its own[...]

But we were so wrong- thinking more with our "fanboy heart" than with our "cool, cynical editor's brain." But at least we know where we can find Lincoln (we're sure Rick's a little CRM busy) starting December 12, and that's at The Old Vic for Matthew Warchus' (Pride, The Three Kings) production of Charles Dickens' classic[...]

But hey, who doesn't love Christmas movies? Staples like Home Alone and Home Alone 2, The Santa Clause 1,2, and 3, How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the Cumberbatch one…yes, it is better than most think) in many different versions, A Christmas Carol w/Jim Carrey, Frosty The Snowman, and many others Plus, the first three Toy[...]

With a strong ensemble cast (and a "Big Bad" fronted by Samantha Morton in an award-earning turn as Whisperers leader Alpha) and richly layered writing, showrunner/executive producer Angela Kang did the near-impossible: made the show fresh and dangerous again – and we're only halfway through the season. And we haven't even mentioned Fear the Walking Dead[...]

Sooner or later, there was always going to be a new television version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol for the Christmas season The story hits all the right notes for the BBC: a ghost story at Christmas and a sentimental story about a sad, angry man whose heart is opened. This new co-production between the[...]

If it's not the same five types of family films, it's another remake of some Christmas IP done to death like A Christmas Carol. Disney Whether if it's [Some Irrelevant Character] Saves Christmas or some recycled Christmas IP in the public domain like Rudolph Saves Christmas, there are hundreds of these films out there These blu-ray/DVD films,[...]

Back in 2017, Sir Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions and Tom Hardy's Hardy Son & Baker announced a join project with the BBC to bring a new adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic holiday tale "A Christmas Carol" to television We haven't really heard anything about it since then, until this morning's announcement that FX has partnered with BBC[...]

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is an American tradition during the end-of-the-year holidays It's a quality story – but unfortunately, an abused one and most often the point gets lost on audiences Whether it's a direct adaptation of the Dickens' novel or the beloved American film It's a Wonderful Life, both main characters deal with a[...]

The Peanut Christmas special, the stop motion Rudolph, but the one I seemed to like the most was the Disney version of A Christmas Carol I loved the story and how different the various ghosts were I especially loved the Ghost of Christmas Future scene because it was pretty dark for a kids cartoon and[...]

I get out at a station, and can't drink a glass of water without having a hundred people looking down my throat when I open my mouth to swallow." [letter to John Forster, 1842] And as it sometimes goes with modern comic book creators working on important titles, when it comes to Dickens and A Christmas Carol,[...]

What's even more interesting is the episode is kind of a take on A Christmas Carol with Spider-Man seeing his past, present and future… but his past is a pretty good homage to the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon including some jokes about swinging by the same building over and over again and his malfunctioning web-shooters And[...]
