Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

The version available on Disney+ omits the sad song sung between Scrooge and his fiance as she breaks up with him for his avarice. As a kid i didn't like it much, but as an adult i realize that it's a critical emotional turning point for the movie.

Without that song, the whole film feels rather hollow.

The original film is one of my favorite Muppet movies and Christmas Carol adaptations. The loss of that song is a shame.

They have the "Full Length Version" under "Extras".

I dust off the VCR just for that version. I am too lazy to digitize it, apparently.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 7 points 1 week ago

Yes I have seen that one and I have no idea why they would ever remove that. As you said, its a critical point.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Nope, they have the full version. It's how I first watched it complete a few years ago.
