Description

In this episode of Real Beans, we explore three favorite adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol — the animated Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, the musical Scrooge starring Albert Finney, and the acclaimed 1951 Alastair Sim film — and examine how each retells Scrooge's journey from greed and isolation to compassion and redemption.

Along the way, we savor seasonal coffee, discuss memorable performances and songs, and reflect on why Dickens' message about kindness and human connection remains relevant today.
