So, related to the theme of self-reflection, my favorite Christmas film is Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol." I love this story because it's a ghost story with a moral. Its message is profound.
There are so many versions featuring outstanding actors such as Alistair Simm, George C. Scott, Patrick Stewart, and even Jim Carrey. Usually, I'm a traditionalist. However, in this particular case, my favorite version of A Christmas Carol is Richard William's 1971 animated pen-and-ink drawing version.
There are many reasons why I like this version:
- It's short! It's only 25 minutes and captures the essence of Dickens' book quite well.
- It features my favorite Christmas Carol, "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen."
- Allistair Simm's rendition of Ebenezer Scrooge is unmatched!
- The pen and ink artistic drawing style is extremely unique. Even though the YouTube-copied versions are not HD quality, you can still appreciate the artistic beauty of the drawings.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and enjoy your holidays!
