This is my absolute favorite because it’s so true to the book. And there’s so much effort that has gone into the CGI, it’s so impressive. And I don’t ever find people that actually enjoy this movie, but I personally love it.
I love it, too. Among Disney “Carol “ movies, it’s great as an animated full length straightforward adaptation to complement something like Mickey’s Christmas Carol. I also love Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
I was really surprised how close this remains to the book but I have to say the Muppets have somehow changed my perspective on this! Surely it's Fozziewigg!😂
My favorite version!
It’s a good movie thanks for reacting to it
I liked all the things from the book that I either don't see anywhere or in very few other versions, like Bob Cratchit sliding down the hill in honor of Christmas Eve, the fiddler at Fezziwig's dunking his head in the punchbowl at the end of the song, or the exchange between Scrooge and Christmas Present about closing the baker's shop on Sundays.
The coins that Scrooge had taken off the eyes of Jacob Marley was a practice going to the Ancient Romans. Those coins were to pay the "toll for the "Ferryman" who takes your Soul across the river into the next life. Without the toll your Soul lingers unable to cross. So it was especially egregious for Scrooge to take the coins because that meant Marley's soul was to wonder for all eternity. Which is why the Undertaker looked at him the way he did. The Celtics practiced this too.✌️
Celts were pre Roman mainly 😊
Ooh Rome? :)
My son loves this film . I lost count how many times a day he would sit and watch it
"Tuppence is tuppence" (two pence).
Omg!!!!! What a surprise!!! I didn't expect a post from you guys today but this one IS a gift all in itself!!! This is one of my all time FAVORITE Christmas stories ever told and this specific one in particular is my favorite. Charles Dickens wrote an absolute masterpiece, it's been remade by all kinds of people but Jim Carrey is absolute perfection for these roles. I'm so happy you guys watched it!!! Merry Christmas to the two of you and to your kiddos, I hope the joy and love was with you in abundance today and everyday. Love you guys and a Very Merry Christmas🎄❤️💚🤍🎀🎁🕊️ "God Bless us, everyone!!!!" 😭😭
Merry Christmas 🎄🙏
@michaelblaine6494 Merry Christmas!!!! 🎄✌️
Funny that BJ mentioned Grinch because Jim Carrey played both The Grinch and in this movie playing Ebeneezer Scrooge. Asia, you would not like living like that back in Victorian times. Times were VERY HARD and POVERTY was extremely common.
watching this in theaters was amazing,the sound design was so immersive
There are actually over 100 versions of "A Christmas Carol." It's a very iconic story.
Jim Carrey played Scrooge and all the ghosts.
I grew up watching A muppet Christmas Carol. It will always be my favourite version. But I also enjoyed Scrooged with Bill Murray. I think every version done has its own special appeal. Merry Christmas!
It's so funny. I was literally in the middle of watching this adaptation for the 1st time too when I got the notification for your reaction! What a nice Christmas surprise. 😊
What a coincidence! We hope you enjoyed it! 😊
The animation for this film is amazing!
10:06 Reason why Scrooge's (and the first two Ghosts) models resemble Jim Carrey is because this movie used the same motion-capture type of CG character modeling that The Polar Express used (like rotoscoping over the real actor). You might recognize Gary Oldman as Bob Crachett thanks to it too. Too bad it was experimental technology that didn't last long, and some people don't like the style for the uncanny factor.
Ya beat me to it! Just like Tom Hanks in the Polar Express.
17:39 1842, because that’s how many years it is and it’s referring to the first Christmas. He is one Christmas and his brothers are all of the other Christmases. That’s why he also mentions that he only has a short time. He only lives for 24 hours. Because he himself is Christmas.That’s why he starts getting older as the day progresses and then dies at the end of the day.
Also, 1843 was the year A Christmas Carol was published.
The inspiration
Dickens was inspired to write Scrooge after seeing the gravestone while walking around the graveyard before giving a lecture in Edinburgh in 1841. He wrote in his notebook, "To be remembered through eternity only for being mean seemed the greatest testament to a life wasted".
The real Ebenezer Scroggie
The real Ebenezer Scroggie was a corn merchant, vintner, and relative of Adam Smith. He was a jovial man who was also known for being generous. He was not the mean-spirited character Dickens created.
The gravestone's fate
The gravestone was lost during the restoration of the Kirk in 1932. There are plans to erect a memorial to Scroggie an
@@Noonesbusiness-n1iwoah.. cool.. plus tifo charles dickens iirc heard that nane before but that e.Scrooge has a name of the story.. an was/is a book :D so coolio imho noice to know the more ya know yk?
Muppets Christmas Carol is the version I like best.
Such an underrated adaptation, its the only one Ive seen to go so far into the horror side of the literal ghost story Charles Dickens wrote it as and I love it for that. You really feel how someone so stingy could be scared straight in (technically) one night by all of that
This is my all-time favorite version of this classic story. It's just so good, I watch it every December! Not only does it stick to the original story but it doesn't shy away from being scary, as well as heartwarming and the animation is great!
My Favorite version of "A Christmas Carol"
is the 1970 "Scrooge" with
Albert Finney and Alec Guinness
Mine too!
Albert, particularly, is amazing in that version. He was about in his mid thirties in 1970. He melts into the role as an older Scrooge and is the only actor I can think of who plays the character as an older and a younger man.
@@nickperkins8477 I was surprised to learn that he was only in his 30s when he played that role.
That one is awful. I hated that version. Have you not seen any of the others. Making it a musical was nonsensical.
@ the truly AWFUL musical version of the story is “A Christmas Carol: The Musical,” Kelsey Grammer’s 2004 misfire.
I recommend the movie "The man who invented christmas" great movie
Jim Carrey plays Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas past and the Ghost of Christmas present.
Merry Christmas gang! 🎅🏼🧑🎄🎄 I loved this one but nobody beats George C. Scott's version. Tremendous acting.
Agree..its a must watch every Christmas x
My favorite one is The Muppet Christmas Carol 💖💖
Same!
Mine too!
I was lucky to see this in the 3D version at theater, and I must say it was an amazing experience. I vividly remember the snowflakes falling all around me, and the flying scenes carried me along. I would love to see this again in the theater in 3D because it was truly magical. And as always I love your reviews!
So now I've seen the 37 minute version of A Christmas Carol thanks guys it was timed just right to take the dinner rolls.
Merry Christmas Asia BJ & all the Family
🎄🎄
WHAT? My family and I watched this film yesterday! Twice. ❤❤ It's one of the films we always watch at Christmas time.
Merry Christmas 🎄🧑🏻🎄🌟🎁
This was a great reaction! Y’all were cracking me up 😂 Thanks for the laughs and Merry Christmas 🙂🎄
There are times when I watch this that I forget it is an animated movie. The script and acting are so good.
You guys are my favorite YT couple. Happy Holidays yall 🎄
Happy Holidays to you too! 🎄
This is pretty good, I appreciate that they didn't hold back on the spooky stuff, but my favorite version is the Muppet one!
A Christmas Carol… Charles Dickens one of the greats of all time I remember reading the book as a kid and then watching the movies and yes they started in the 30s. This movie was remade and made and never a bad version. I’m an older person so I kinda like the older ones but I like the new ones as well!
Merry Christmas to all, these reaction channels are just so good for the soul 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Scrooge said “Tuppence is tuppence” (two pennies).
This is my favorite version because it's very loyal to the book and the imagery is just so cool.
Btw, tuppence (variation of "two pents") was a British term for two pennies, it's not really used today.
You guys have not only the funniest & most interesting reactions, but Asia is a perfect 10 attraction! Not just gorgeous stunning looks & more cakes than a Christmas Bakery, but an engaging personality, tons of artistic talent and a warm welcoming smile. BJ you just didn't win the lottery, you hit the Mega Powerball, King! 💯😂🙇🏻♂🙏🏻🔥#BlessedAndHappyNewYear
This film is so underrated. It's really beautiful and so true to Dickens' novel.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤❤❤❤❤loving this movie
This captures the true likeness of what Scrooge actually looked in the original illustrations of A Christmas Carol novel.
Oh nice, I’ve never seen this version before! Merry Christmas 🎄
Yes Asia he does look like Jim Carrey, i find him to look a lot like the character Jim plays in Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events Count Olaf! They have some similarities lol.🎄🔥🇳🇱🥰
Merry Christmas, Asian & BJ.
You guys should know that there are WAY more than four versions of this story. It has been a stage play since the book was published in 1847, and there are DOZENS of movie versions.
I still consider the 1951 film Scrooge with Alistair Sim as being the best one made to date - but hey, that's just my preference/opinion as an oldie now and having seen so many of them . . . 2nd one was even older version as an 1938 film of it with Reginald Owen . . .
disney's too pitiful these days to let dark things be dark. The book was pretty gruesome itself, and ain't gonna lie, Marley was creepy af! Very well done.
As someone that has always thought this is the greatest Christmas novel, I thought this was very well done and true to the novel.
It’s Christmas Day 2024 in the afternoon. Merry Christmas from Mississippi, fam!!! ❤🎄
Merry Christmas ❤ Thank y'all for another year of great reactions ❤ and if y'all ever get the chance I highly recommend you do the Muppet version of this a Muppets Christmas Carol❤
Happy holidays and thank you for dropping this on Christmas Day! 😊
Merry Christmas!🎄
I read A Christmas Carol every year, it's so short but packs so much of an emotional punch! I have a theory that if everyone on earth read A Christmas Carol every year, we would solve World Peace hahaha. I added 4 more people to my re-read this year, so I'm slowly making a dent! 🤣
I think some people don't like the animation style on this one, but I have to say, as an adaptation, this is one of the closest to the book that I've seen! I really love it!
Yes, the Grinch makes a special appearance in the blu ray edition 🤪
👍👍👍 one of my must watch christmas movie 🔥🔥🔥
SCROOGE is my favorite!
This was in RealD when it was released in the theaters. Great looking.
Hey guys, hope you both had a great Christmas, I've never seen this one, but hey Jim delivered. This was good, haven't read the book in years. Ten years earlier, Patrick Stewart aka Captain Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation series and Professor X played Ebenezer as well in A Christmas Carol. I suggest that one for next Christmas. Have a Happy New Year!
They don't right stories like this anymore. Dickenson was great. I definitely recommend another of his stories in the 60s film "Oliver" with Mark Lester.
Merry Christmas to Y'all and Your Family✝️
I drive for a rideshare company and got this notification eralier today. I remember when it came out but wasn't interested in it at the time. But when i saw that u guys were doing a reaction, i cleared my nightly schedule to watch it. Cant wait to review it now...🤗😊
I love all versions of this story, but my personal favorite is the 1951 version starring Alastair Sim.
Jim Carrey bases his Scrooge on Alistair Sim’s version of Scrooge. It’s an older version, but if you want to go down a “Christmas Carol” rabbit hole, that’s a good one to check out.
Merrie Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
❤Much love, stay Blest❤
****** Excellent Christmas Choice!
this movie and One Magic Christmas are my 2 favorite must watch movies of the season. love from snowy Canada xo
1984 George C Scott for life!
That’s by far the best one and so much better than any TV movie has a right to be
Wow, look at you two, posting on Christmas Day! :) I really like this one; Jim Carrey doesn’t overact at all. He’s really good when he’s working under a strong director to keep him in check.
We hope you enjoyed our reaction! 😊
This is my favourite christmas movie
My fav Christmas movie!! Jim Carrey did soooooo good ❤❤❤
Would love for you to see the original which stars an actor by the name Alastair Sim it’s from 1951 it’s so hilarious at the end! Merry Christmas Ya’ll 🎄🎄💚💚
This movie has quickly become a favorite with my wife and me. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🎁👍
Merry Christmas from San Diego CA! We wish you a merry Christmas today and a safe wonderful new year
Thanks for choosing this one, great reaction! I've seen this story a million different ways and read the book but I'd not seen the Jim Carrey one yet. :)
We're glad you enjoyed it!
A Christmas Story 1 & 2 are amazing! Also check out National Lampoons Christmas Vacation & Jim Carey’s the Grinch & Jingle All the Way!
A wonderful story. I find myself enjoying most adaptations. This one was great. Not a huge fan of all Jim's deliveries, but still very good overall.
There is a great movie called Scrooge from 1970. Fantastic
The old version of cream of wheat is known as porage or Grull, depending on the time period and who you are talking to. Same stuff as Oliver was eating in the famous please sir I'd like some more.
Merry Ho Ho ☃️ 🎄🎅 Hope your having a magical day. Thank you f9r all your entertainment
Ancient Western Words of Wisdom: Cattle die, kinsmen die, all men are mortal. Words of praise will never perish nor a noble name.
You can find small communities that are similar to this or if you wanted to go full immersion go visit something like an Amish community. They are far more connected with their neighbors and community. Jim Carrey blows this character out of the water he does such a good job
My favorite one is the 1970 version....
Merry Christmas Day🙏🎅🎄
Loved this Christmas movies 🎄
Thanks so much for watching! We love this movie too!
@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ your welcome awesome
I liked this one. I liked that the digital was able to be used to convey some things from the novel, especially the spiritual aspects and resonance, that could not really be done on stage are in live action before. I know the theater snubbed this but also they more do not like things that appear to infringe on the theater. That's not important to most movie goers though I think. But I just think what that did is give it some uniqueness among the Christmas Carol adaptations. Also that they could do something now that is a combination of live action and CGI to the a nice effect if they wanted. This shows they can at least. But it was things I remembered from that book and seeing them here.
On a side note I hated being in that play as a kid. I was one the random Cratchit kids. Everyone was grumpy which sort of contradicts the whole thing. It's a real stuffy story to squeeze into to put it in a way. Not much room to flex.
I remember watching this in 3D when it came out 😂
The irony of the voice casting for this movie is that Jim Carrey is more known for his good guy roles and Garry Oldman for his bad guy roles. This movie does follow the written story closer than most other movies about it. Maybe next year you can react to Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) starring Mathew McConaughey, Michael Douglas and Jennifer Garner. It loosely follows this storyline, in a romantic comedy kind of way.
It ain’t just voice casting. Check out the behind the scenes. This is full mocap. The way Jim contorts his real face seems to age himself to an old man
This is a favorite of ours!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you!
Asia & BJ you must watch the 1951 version called SCROOGE or A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Merry Christmas Asian and BJ
.... IM BACK LIKE I NEVER LEFT 💥💥💥
I never did understand why they would stop at Scrooges place to ask for a donation. I mean are they new to the job? You can't possibly convince me Scrooge gave anything in any previous year. So why would they think this year was any different?
Wonderful reaction as unusual. Could you try, if you can, to react to a muppets christmas carol. It's a completely different perspective but equally as good. Is really funny as well. Merry Christmas ❤
This along with A Muppet Christmas Carol and Mickey’s Christmas Carol are my favorite versions of A Christmas Carol.
i recommend you react to "a christmas carol" starring alastair sim as scrooge. the best version.
Jim Carrey played Scrooge and all three ghosts.
Jim Carrey is Ebenezer Scrooge and every ghost, except for Jacob Marley. Gary Oldman does double duty as Bob Cratchit and Jacob Marley.
What he said was "Twopence is twopence". "Twopence" was pronounced as "Tuppence". It's two pennies in British coinage.
Merry Christmas Asia and BJ
Love you guys! What happened to your Titanic reaction though?? 😭
The reaction got blocked but it’ll be out soon. We’ll send out a notification when it drops.
This is the same guy that made Beowulf.
I'll say this much. There are worse versions. The less you know about Nutcracker in 3D (same difference) the better.
No, you wouldn't want to be in a place like that either, with no lights and only candles and fireplaces to get heat. Those good old days weren't so good.
Have you seen Scrooged? Bill Murray.
Wishing you and your families both a very Merry Christmas guys.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Personally, I think Scrooge is misunderstood, lol! 😂
It's really a story of an old guy who has made a bit of money by working hard and not wasting it on foolish things.
Sadly, though, others keep trying to get his money and will try anything to get their hands on it.
However, as they seem unable to get at his money, they call him nasty names and are cruel with the things they say behind his back.
Later, scrooge learns what people will think when he dies and sees that now he's gone, people feel they can now get their hands on perhaps some of the money by harassing whoever it is left to.
In the end, because of the pressure from everyone, which becomes too much for anyone to handle, scrooge is forced to give his hard earned money away.
Also, of course, due to the threats made by the ghosts!, lol! 😂
I feel so sorry for scrooge, especially when he's so hard working and yet that's how people treat him, lol! 😂
Bah Humbug to Christmas! 😂
This is a wonderful version of such a great tale.
The animation is very well done and a great cast for the voices.
There are only a very small percentage of scrooge movies that I like and this is one of them.
A great video as always guys.
Have a fantastic day, take care!
The ghost of the future is why I haven’t watched this movie in 15 years 😳
Is it because the ghost is a shadow?
Tuppence. Two British pennies.
