A Flintstones Christmas Carol (1994)
If you’re a franchise the pumps out thematic specials, eventually you will get to A Christmas Carol.

Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983)

Barbie in ‘A Christmas Carol’ (2008)
One of the only Christmas Carol reinventions that has really worked for me. The sense of terror is gone, and the CGI is as ugly as any of the Barbie movies (very), but there’s a lot of thought and heart into this telling that transforms Scrooge (i.e. Eden Starling) into a vain theater star.

In the episode of Game of Thrones entitled “The North Remembers,” the characters Littlefinger and Cersei Lannister argue about the nature of power.
