Invasion of the 3D classics-snatchers

Me, looking at the "Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas" viewing guide card that came in my CVS bag: Disney's A Christmas Carol?  What's that?  I didn't even know Disney had a version of it.

My fiancé, Jonathan: Yeah, I don't know.  They have the Muppets version*, but I don't think that's what it's referring to.

Me: It's probably some Jim Carrey adventure extravaganza.  In 3D.

J [laughing]: That would be hilarious.  It's probably true.

Me: ....Gosh I hope not.  Dickens in 3D.  As an action adventure movie.  How ugsome.  Can you imagine the pitch for that?  "And for the poster we'll have Jim Carrey daringly flying through the air on a magic rug at supersonic speeds! While making a classic Jim Carrey face that lets viewers know exactly what this movie is and isn't!"

J: Sad. But possible.

Me: .........Okay, now I have to look it up [taking out phone].

Me [Laughing hysterically and showing him the search results on my phone]: I'm laughing... but really I'm crying.

 

*The Muppets version is the best version of A Christmas Carol EVER, and one I think Dickens would have quite enjoyed. And it's definitely not just for kids, though it encourages children to actually read the book and has more language directly from the book than any other version with which I'm familiar.  Plus there's the whole discussion between Gonzo and Rizzo about what an omniscient narrator is.... And that just tickles me pink every time....
