Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (2022)
I’m not wild about the character designs, but my biggest complaint is that the movie leans too much into abstracting the Victorian London setting during the ghostly encounters. The best Christmas Carols are great costume dramas on top of all the other fun stuff. Still, it’s a competent and enjoyable musical adaptation as a reworked take on 1970’s Scrooge.

Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench (2009)
Damien Chazelle is not yet 40 years old, but is one of the most exciting American filmmakers working today.
Unhinged. Horrifying. Totally outlandish. It doesn’t make any sense that this premise could ever occur, even with Santa magic, which is part of the reason it’s so fun and morbid to watch it unfold. Compelling apocalyptic stuff for Sesame Street.

Christmas Eve on Sesame Street (1978)
Feels like a jumbo-sized, special-edition episode of Sesame Street in the best way possible. There’s a fun ice skating segment and some terrific musical numbers. The stories eschew simple holiday sweetness in favor of slightly edgier material — like a crisis of faith by Big Bird.
