Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell serve up a 'Spirited' version of Scrooge

Two classic comedy talents of our times, Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds, take on Charles Dickens' classic tale of Yuletide redemption as a curmudgeon is visited by ghosts on Christmas Eve. The English writer and social critic wrote 'A Christmas Carol', with its central character Scrooge, as a work of social commentary, like much of his prolific output. Dickens had a lifelong devotion to helping the underserved due to his own family's experiences with debtors' prison, which forced him to drop out of school as a boy and work at a factory. His tales expose cruel injustices and struggles yet deliver heart-warming twists and life-affirming plots. Does this trailer for the Apple TV+ production encourage you to see it? Or are you just wondering where Ryan Reynolds' cool red jacket is from?
