Never even heard of the 2001 version. (And I've seen a lot of obscure versions.) How does the George C. Scott version rate for accuracy?

The 1970 musical Scrooge gets extra points from me for Alec Guinness as Marley, and Ebeneezer's brief visit to his own personal hell. Although I think someone involved in the production was projecting their personal kinks just a tad...

The Mickey Mouse version gets a little disturbing, since the Little Pigs are in the cast, yet a roast pig is seen in a holiday feast. What the hell?

 The 2001 version is an animated one most notable for a bunch of additional subplots (including two mice) and Nicholas Cage as Marley.

As for 1970, I like the soundtrack, but not the hell scene. Also, I find Finney a tad goofy, as well as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

There's one with Patrick Stewart.

 I personally don't like that one. The pacing is a little odd to me. That's why I like the 1951 version so much. In my mind, the pacing is perfect.

The mono mix was the only one before the SE to have the "OOOO!".

several hours and a number of broken bones later...

You mean 4 minutes and a slight bruise, right?

Yes, that one isn't counted nearly enough, and it should be. It's a perfectly good version which covers all of the important beats of the story, and has the Disney cast on top of that. It's certainly toward the higher end of the animated spectrum.

Have at it! Likes, dislikes, favourites, least-favourites! All is welcome!

For the record (all IMO):

Best Overall: Scrooge (1951)

Best for sheer accuracy: A Christmas Carol (1972, Animated)

Worst : Christmas Carol: The Movie (2001, Animated)

I still want this version. ;)

He looks... tubby.

Someone make that happen!

On Fanfiction I think my main writing will come from Kingdom Hearts, Legend Of Korra, Star Wars, (of course) Avatar The Last Airbender, Superman and maybe X-Men but just to redo X-3 that was just plain awful.

 Did you intend this for another thread?

There are many people who are fans of both franchises.

 I beg to differ. I one time approached a Darth Maul cosplayer with a bunch of Star Trek stuff, and there exists a picture of him strangling me.

SilverWook said:

It's a reference to the TAS episode, The Practical Joker.

Not the first "computer goes crazy" story, but notable for the first appearance of a holodeck in Trek, and of course, the first malfunction. ;)

 Personally, what I love most about the episode is how petty the pranks start off, and then it moves on to homicide! Not much of a middle ground.

Look into it. You might've been beaten to the punch.

At least I know that you're joking, Frink.

Hey, at least the guy has some pretty convincing visual evidence to back himself up this time.

I am not, never was, nor have ever been the ridiculous troll and starter of knockoff forums; coltonlolz! What proof do you need? WHAT?!

*Follow the googledrive link. That version is much better*

Well, the color correction isn't bad, I'll say that. Assuming you're not using a previously corrected source, it's pretty good. Now how are you handling the shots present only in low-quality versions of the film?

You're sacred of it? Is that an expression I'm unaware of?

I only wish Sam Jackson's swearing had been punched in from another film rather than implied.  Any opportunity for him to look at Yoda and say "English, motherfucker!  do you speak it?" is welcome to me.

TV's likes to keep things relatively family-friendly. He's got kids and stuff.

I think it's funnier censored, actually. It's like the movie's supposed to be PG but Sam Jackson doesn't give a shit.

 That's what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps.

That one's not as bad as some censorship jobs I've heard.

well the eariler post I made had the original landspeeder but, I guess it was replaced...   :(

 faceplam

the original.duh!

Anything else? Nothing? Not even punctuation?

I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, the Twitter moderator is stupid.

I think that's something they're trying to push in the EU. In Rogue Leader (the video game) Wedge is among Luke's childhood friends in the training segment.

But yeah, their confusion between Biggs and Red Leader's death is pretty hilarious.
