22 A Christmas Carol: Part One | Page to Stage to Screen Character Comparison

In this episode of Book Watch, we’re diving into a character analysis of Charles Dickens’ 1843 classic, A Christmas Carol, and the 1992 Muppets Christmas Carol adaptation. How well did the film capture the heart of the book? What changes worked—and which ones missed the mark? In Part 1 we explore: Character portrayals, casting choices, and differences between the book and movie. How do the Muppets portray iconic characters like Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, and how does Michael Caine’s Ebenezer Scrooge line up with Dickens’ memorable protagonist? Join hosts Chris, Jordyn, and Sarah-Daye as they break down what worked, what didn’t, and whether this adaptation does the book justice. Tell us your thoughts! Did you love or hate this adaptation?
