As far as I'm concerned, The Muppet Christmas Carol is the only valid adaptation of A Christmas Carol. If someone knows of another, send it my way, but this classic will always be the best adaptation in my heart. It's accurate to the book, the visuals are beautiful, the music is perfect, the spookiness level is just right, and I'm sure Mr. Dickens would be tickled to see himself represented as a blue creature with a long nose. I grew up on this one, and I watch it every Christmas.
