[100 Things] My DVD Collection: A Christmas Carol & A Muppet Christmas Carol

[ultra_fic]

  

Yes, I am aware we are nowhere near Christmas, but I have good Christmas dvds that deserve a mention in this thing! lol

The first version of Dicken's A Christmas Carol I ever saw was the Muppet version. Yes, I am aware that is all kinds of wrong, but I was a kid and as a general rule ghosts scared me back then!

It was only recently I saw other versions of the tale, and last Christmas purchased the one starring Patrick Stewart. I know he's an awesome actor, but I hadn't seen him in much til this - overall, I enjoyed the movie, both the drama and the comedy in equal measure.

Still, I have to admit, when its Christmas time and I'm trying my best to be festive and jolly, its waaaay more easy to do with The Muppet Christmas Carol - seriously, the songs are just great, and Michael Caine is a legend in his own right.

If thats wrong - I don't care! ;)

I LOVE A Christmas Carol, and no, I don't mean that movie but the story itself. I'm not sure if I've actually watched these movies, though I might have. There's a Disney version which I like...and I try to remember because I thought I've also seen another one. I'm getting old, can't remember anything these days...

I can't believe I've never actually seen the Muppet version! I used to love the Muppets so much. I definitely need to see it!

I should read the classics, but its soooo much easier to watch them... especially with Muppets :P lol

Also, you are NOT old! Older than me, yes, but not actually old, k? ;)
