A Christmas Carol 1971 ~ Animated ~ Alastair Sim ~ Full Length ORIGINAL POST

[@justjeff53]

Sorry guys. I had many things going on in my life and forgot to leave a Christmas Eve message as usual. Anyway, a very belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from me, myself, and I.

[@JohannaLeigh]

Not to worry. Life happens. Hope y our Christmas holidays and New Year's went well. If I may recommend a movie.... *"The Man Who Invented Christmas"* (2017) with Christopher Plummer. It tells of how Charles Dickens came to write A Christmas Carol, and how the issues of his own life played a part. I'm sure he would have loved this version of his story.

[@Chrisfeb68]

Merry Christmas!

Merry (belated ) Christmas. Can you believe we're already half way through JANUARY!? @@Chrisfeb68

I sort of feel bad that he couldn’t never finish his version of The Thief and The Cobbler. From what I hear the original version would have been amazing. before Aladdin .

[@hunterolaughlin]

He died at least having won 2 Oscars for his animation work. This and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. R.I.P. Richard Williams. You and your amazing animation will live on and be influential to many aspiring animators.

[@WillCWilson]

@@hunterolaughlin He hated that Roger Rabbit was the thing everybody knew him for. And looking at all his shorts, commercials, and his unfinished masterpiece, The Thief and the Cobbler, and the many other things he did that are now available on the internet, I can 100% sympathize with that statement.

[@christinadodd5780]

Why were Christmas and cartoons so much cozier back then? When I was a kid, I loved the start of December. The tree and decorations, the twinkly lights, Christmas music, and cartoon Christmas specials I couldn't wait to watch, the cookies and treats, the excitement of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Now, it's Dec 18, and I just realized Christmas is a week away. 😐 It's so different compared to when I was a kid. I also like these cartoons better than the digital animation they have now.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

The best animated film version, of the classic Christmas tale, ever!! Hand's down!!! At the beginning, once I saw Chuck Jones' name, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Totally missed this one, my whole life. Excellent 👍!!!

[@bighuge1060]

This was televised every December in the 1970s. It's a shame this is not available on bluray or DVD. To me, it's one of the best and starkest Christmas Carols ever. I especially like how Tim's death is treated like a gut punch. One of the best Marley's as well. In all seriousness, this freaked me out as kid. But it is glorious.

This was my must watch on the run up to Christmas as a child here in the UK in the 70's, it has been such a joy to find, a memory to see it once again, in 2022.

The only A Christmas Carol Adaptation to win an Oscar!!

[@scotthamilton007]

Zack Stark Deservedly so. This is a most impressive piece of art. How ironic that it is unobtainable on DVD or Blu-ray! I appreciate the posting. Merry Christmas.

Fantastic. I was 9 years old when this first aired while I was growing up in Portland Oregon, it was the best of times, not the worst of times

I love that nod you gave to the great Charles Dickens there. 😊

Dickens a great writer of his age. A man who as boy became impoverished because of his father's bankruptcy. He brought to people the poverty and desolation of the Victorian era.Whilst the British empire was expanding many where living in abject poverty all over the UK.
