Peace on Earth!
it's Christmas time in Critter Country! and Grampa Squirrel explains to the young `uns what it means when we say "Merry Christmas! Peace on Earth, goodwill to Men!"

Time for my yearly watch of Bad Santa

My personal favourite Christmas movie is Gremlins. Gremlins just have a perfect chaotic nature about them, kind of like if the Illumination Minions were more homicidal.

Benji's Very Own Christmas Story!
back in the late Seventies when people were still doing enough cocaine to care that Benji existed, Benji sorta hung around and didn't look too distressed most of the time during a Christmas special about how being Santa sorta sucks
with musical numbers and Benji

There are a gajillion versions of A Christmas Carol lying around, but I have a soft spot for the 1970 musical version with Albert Finney. It's a bit overblown and Finney's not my favorite Scrooge, but this version is beautifully mounted. The sets take up the space of an entire city and they look like a place you could actually visit. The musical numbers make the story seem like even more of a spectacle. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a quiet, contemplative version of A Christmas Carol with a well acted Scrooge, but if I want a version of CC that's colorful, brash and fun like a Christmas morning, I'll watch the Finney version:

Twelve Hundred Ghosts is an interesting experimental version of Christmas Carol that combines 400 versions of the story together, told through different mediums (comics, TV shows, movies, text, etc,) It's not for everyone (and it's not for the kiddies as someone threw in a couple of porn versions of A Christmas Carol,) but it can be fun if you have some time to kill.

There's a really old tv version with Vincent Price, but it's from before he became Horror Movie Guy Vincent Price (tm) so it's not quite as good as you'd hope.

meanwhile in Japan...

Oh no! The Not-Quite-The-Decepticons are trying to steal Christmas!

Dream Street Christmas Star!
you know how Sesame Street has sort of a low-key undertone of the warning that "homeless people are a bunch of junkies and nutjobs who will rant to you about how great their trash can is (ps I hate you) or how everything is just super (ps my imaginary friend is stopping by in a few minutes) so just humor them and find your fastest excuse to go on with your day"?
so over the UK they grafted that onto Thomas-style "everybody passive-aggressively hates everybody constantly" along with the crackheads

B.C.: A Special Christmas!
a very cynical take on the origins of Santa, featuring everybody's favorite sporadically Christian cavepeoples of the funny pages, also Bob and Ray who were a decade or few past their expiration date by this point but they're good for voice acting at least

what's better than mimes? MIMES FROM THE SEVENTIES!!!
although I've heard rumors this is actually one of "Bob" and Connie's last public appearances prior to the formation of The Church of the Subgenius
but Shields And Yarnell are just two of the Hollywood Squares appearing today on this random pile of shit to advertise the recently-opened Walt Disney World while pretending to honor the birth of Jesus Christ savior of mankind!
also if you're an atomic grade theme park sperg this has some of the only footage of the Fort Wilderness railroad in operation

Mickey's Christmas Carol
usually regarded as one of the best mixes of Disney voice casts does A Christmas Carol and often considered a pretty nice iteration of the basic idea

 

[BooneHelm]

So I ran across this recently and it peaked my interest. Christmas in Connecticut from 1992. It's a TV movie starring Kris Kristofferson and Tony Curtis. Really the movie itself looks pretty bland all things considered.

However it is directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. In fact it is the only full length movie he has ever directed.

To top it off, it premiered on TNT in April of 1992.

 

[Autumnal Equinox]

Time to bust out the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol. Always been my favorite of the bunch. Edward Woodward is the best Ghost of Christmas Present as well.

Hail Satan.

I recall them advertising the FUCK out of this back in the day
I don't think I've ever watched more than a minute or two while flipping channels

Hail Satan.

from the Realm Of The Leaf comes this medieval styled sorta abstract wordless short cartoon of the story of Christmas that would be creepy enough but the old transfer so it sounds like everyhing is melting and/or dying just adds to it

In my opinion Mickey's Christmas Carol is the definitive short version (and probably animated version too). Other short versions tend to not know what to do, either wasting time at one point and rushing the rest of it, or dragging it out overall without adding any substance. But Mickey's Christmas Carol doesn't waste a second and thus manages to tell the classic story effectively with heart and emotion in the 20 minute runtime. After all these years it still makes me cry, and moreso since Alan Young passed away.

My icon is the character Noël from...Noël, a 1992 animated Christmas Special by Romeo Muller of Rankin/Bass fame. I grew up with it because someone in my family along the way recorded it onto a VHS from a live showing of it. I was also exposed to old Christmas commercials this way.

It's pretty deep actually.
