Re: Mickey, Bugs, or Muppet Christmas Carol??

Muppets out of the 3 (though that was a movie, not a TV special.) Not sure which others to consider- still gotta make time before this Christmas to watch the recent Jim Carrey one in 3D, bought it last year but couldn't watch it before Christmas. Mickey's was OK, even though Mickey was Bob Cratchitt and wasn't in much of it.

I have a soft spot for Mickey, so that got my vote.

Though I enjoy the Muppets.

I don't ever recall seeing the Bugs Bunny one.

I'm a big Muppets fan, but Mickey wins this one for me.

I don't think I ever got to finish the Muppet one, but Mickey already has the #1 spot for me.

Oh, and F### ABCFamily for their airings of it. The show's only a half-hour long, but they still felt the need to edit out plenty of moments for "Time".

Re: Mickey, Bugs, or Muppet Christmas Carol??

Of the three Muppets is the best imo, but not really a fair competition as Alan mentioned.

I once almost vowed to watch every Christmas Carol adaptation one Holiday Challenge; but quickly recanted when I realized there are hundreds of them.

It makes a cameo appearance in the first Lethal Weapon.

Mickey for me as well, although Muppet's are a close second. I also have a soft spot for Mickey's Prince and the Pauper.


There's also a Flintstones Christmas Carol, but I never saw it.

Mickey's Christmas Carol for me. I remember being a kid and that being one of the specials I'd watch every year. I actually want to pick up the Blu-ray but it's fairly expensive for being just a half hour short. I think I've only seen the Muppets Christmas Carol once but I remember liking that one too. I don't even remember the Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes one truthfully. What is the name of it I couldn't find it?

"Bugs Bunny's Christmas Tales"

It was broken down like this:
-Xmas Carols intro
-"Scrooge" segment (It's only 8 minutes long)
-Road Runner/Coyote toon (In the snow)
-Taz playing Santa going to Bugs' house

You can find the Scrooge segment at Daily Motion under Bugs Bunny Christmas Carols.

The intro can be heard in the background here:

Merrie Melodies Special - Bugs Bunny's... by tetleymoon
From Wikipedia:

Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol is an eight minute animated short film produced by Warner Bros. Television and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and released in 1979 by Warner Bros. as part of the Christmas special, Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales.
The cartoon is an adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, featuring Yosemite Sam as Ebenezer Scrooge and Porky Pig as Bob Cratchit. Bugs Bunny makes things better by dressing up as a ghost to give Scrooge a fright.



Apparently the smurfs and sesame street made carols too.

He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special is another classic. I watched it not long ago on Amazon Prime, it's pretty bad.

I'm a huge Muppet fan but have never seen the Muppet Christmas Carol. Never seen Bugs either. Mickey is a classic though.

Flintstone Christmas Carol for me. It was a slightly different take because the Bedrock community is putting on A Christmas Carol as a play......so you get the familiar storyline but with another storyline outside of the play as well (about Fred learning the true meaning of Christmas instead of focusing all his energy on playing Scrooge in the play).

Muppet Christmas Carol is a close second.
