A Christmas Carol! | Page to Screen Comparisons

[@MichaelThomas-hc2cb]

You mean there's OTHER adaptations APART from Muppet's Christmas Carol? No I don't believe it. (btw I love this series of videos, great concept so well done and thanks)

[@LaurenWade]

I was as shocked as you! X

[@EmoBearRights]

It's become a family tradition to watch The Muppets Christmas Carol every Christmas in our house - usually on Christmas Eve but this year it was Christmas Day sandwiched between extended family zoom calls. It was the one bit of Christmas the Rona couldn't take away. In happier times we even attended a Sing-along-a-Long version in Leicester Square, London.

Totally with you on the Muppets and so is Dominic Noble at Lost in Adaptation how gave it a gong for his fav Crimbo Carol adaptation.

[@lauraprofungus4203]

YES! I have seen most of the adaptations you discussed and The Muppets is hands down my favourite ! I watch it every year! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! :)

[@AdirondackRuby]

The Alistair Sim version is my favorite. My whole family loves that one. It's just lovely and perfect...and we always like to watch out for the scene where you can see the cameraman in the mirrors reflection! lol

[@paragoncumulus6636]

Blackadder's Christmas Carol has to be the best!

[@Robbieleecats]

Love love love your facial expressions and Scrooge impressions! Great video!

[@itsorwellian]

My ten year old daughter loves watching your Page to Screen vlogs, perhaps she'll read the books one day. More please.

[@deborahmeades4282]

Totally agree with you about A Muppets Christmas Carol, such a fantastic film

[@witchydogmom3281]

"Ghosts.... BLAH....." That made me laugh a little too hard. Great video! Love me some Dickens!

[@readingclosely2160]

This was great, and I've just passed on the link to a "Christmas Carol" connoisseur I know, but you didn't discuss the 1938 film with Reginald Owen as Scrooge. It has its weaknesses, as I guess all the versions do, but the mood is right and portrayals of the Cratchits and Fred are spot-on.

[@sara-anneh4950]

This video was such a fantastic idea, and very well done as well! Good job

[@BohoBookworm]

HAHAHAHA Your scroog impression - I was actually almost on the floor laughing

[@AnnieThyme]

mickey's christmas carol was my favourite christmas special growing up! I was always upset if I missed seeing it when it aired. haha! (luckily it usually got repeated) I was the same with the 2009 one. I didn't have high hopes for it and ine of my friends (whi usually likes everything) absolutely hated it so I reluctantly sat down to watch but I actually enjoyed it and thought it was pretty decent. like you I haven't felt the need to rewatch and doubt I will but it is something I would watch with kids if the occation arises. I hope you had a great Christmas and are having a good week! 😊

[@AJAT800]

My favorite version is Alister Sim Scrooge (1951) the George C. Scott version (1984) is a close second and I would put Muppet's Christmas Carol at #3

[@TravelingBibliophile]

For me it is a tie between the Alistair Sim version and The Muppet Christmas Carol, I own both on DVD and watch them throughout the year. A close runner up is Mickey's Christmas Carol which I have watched on TV at Christmastime every year since I was a child.

[@ssake1_IAL_Research]

"A Christmas Carol" was only revised by Charles Dickens from an existing manuscript. The original was written by an American couple, Mathew and Abby Whittier. Some of the evidence can be seen in this blog entry: www.ial.goldthread.com/blog11_11_19.html

[@braincabbage]

I once watched the Barbie adaptation. It was... interesting. ^^

[@LaurenWade]

Haha, that came up when I was searching on KZbin and I thought.....maybe not 😂

[@mariongnd]

Mickey's Christmas Carol is one of my favourite things. I watch it every year.

[@tylertomlinson3865]

There is also Mr Magoo,s chrimas carol you guys should go and find and watch if you all want too

[@Queen89D]

Great highlights happy Christmas 🎄

[@tylertomlinson3865]

You guys know that The Looney tunes have there own Chrismas carol Bugs bunny as the narrator Daffy duck as scrooge and porky as Bob cracet

[@andrewmurray6258]

this was great. Would love to know what you thought of the BBC 2019 version they did the other year.

[@MsFolkGirl]

Your Scrooge impressions are just fantastic XD would you consider doing a Jane Eyre page to screen episode? xx

[@LaurenWade]

I already have! Check out the page to screen playlist in the info bar :)

[@MsFolkGirl]

+Reads and Daydreams Oops, I'm sorry...

[@joaomoreira8707]

WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE

[@christina11235813]

Not sure if you know, but you've uploaded two versions of this video; one without all the pictures and this one. Great job though!

[@LaurenWade]

Haha, yes I know. I put the first one up yesterday by accident, but decided to leave it up for a day to allow for some crossover as all of my Twitter links lead to the original video and not the correct one with pictures.

[@LaurenWade]

But thank you! :) x

[@EmoBearRights]

I was kinda sorry your Emma adaptation vid review predated this year's version but I'm kinda glad for both our sakes this was before the horrible grimdark adaptation of the BBCs by the bloke who did Peaky Blinders although seeing you react to it might have been interesting. David J Bradley gives it a good pasting though.

[@thomaspeacock7248]

Read the original text of the story. It’s darker than most of these adaptations.

[@LaurenWade]

You assume I hadn’t read the book before making a video about how said book has been adapted to screen? 🤣

[@thomaspeacock7248]

@@LaurenWade yes I did. You never mentioned that you had read the original story that Dickens wrote.

[@carlmaster9690]

"Scrooge" from 1970 is the best version! Always has been. The Jim Carry version from 2009 is the second best. "The Muppet A Christmas Carol" is the worst! To childish for my liking.

[@EmoBearRights]

Booooo to you sir!!! 😝
