SCROOGE: A CHRISTMAS CAROL

(Dec. 2, Netflix)

We all know the story of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge (in fact, the liveaction Spirited with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds was this year’s first remake of the Charles Dickens Christmas tale). But make room for another version—this one is an animated, time-traveling, supernatural adaptation of the 1970 musical that starred Albert Finney. Here’s a twist on the same story, but with the voice talents of The Crown’s Olivia Colman and Irish singer/actor Jessie Buckley. Luke Evans, who played Gaston in 2017’s Beauty and the Beast and was part of the Nine Perfect Strangers ensemble, plays Scrooge. Get ready to sing along!
