Reshaped and reimagined in various fashions over the years by the likes of Vanessa Williams, Jim Carrey, James Earl Jones, The Muppets, and more, Charles Dickens‘ classic novel, ‘A Christmas Carol,’ has seen the story of its main character – “Ebenezer Scrooge” – presented countless ways since its debut over 170 years ago.
