A Grand Yuletide Theory: The Muppet Christmas Carol is the Best Adaptation of A Christmas Carol
Only one movie has ever managed to recreate that uniquely Dickens magic, achieving it not so much through adaptation as through transmutation.

Green's image provides an intriguing reinterpretation of John Leech's original illustration, "The Last of the Spirits". Green is slightly more faithful to Dickens's text in representing Scrooge clutching at the Spirit's robe, but the miser's name is not evident on the gravestone as in Leech.
