Best version of A Christmas Carol/Scrooge.
I liked Scrooge (1951) best, but I do like the one Patrick Stewart did in 1999.
shareA Christmas Carol (1971). I'm talking about the animated TV special which was produced by Richard Williams and Chuck Jones (of Looney Tunes fame).
This is probably the most faithful adaptation of the story, with the character and background designs made to look like pen-and-ink drawings. The only flaw is they were given only 25 minutes to tell the tale, which meant a rapid presentation of the story.
I really wish they would have expanded this to two hours.

Save the holiday season.
I saw this one. Really well done. It won an Oscar for best short film.
