Yo does anyone remember if there's a version of A Christmas Carol where there is a fade to black at the end where it's revealed that Tiny Tim dies within a year of the end of the movie (hexbear.net)

Trying to resolve a debate with my gf. She was like half asleep when she saw this, but she also remembers that during the part of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, the Ghost says that Scrooge could maybe buy Tiny Tim a year or so but not more than that. She's not sure if the movie was animated or not? But at the end, after Scrooge walks off with Tiny Tim, there's apparently a fade to black and text on the screen informs us that within a year, Tiny Tim dies anyways, but that Scrooge's kindness meant that he had an extra year he wouldn't have had that his family was grateful for. Honestly don't know if this exists but want to check if anyone else knows what I'm talking about. She swears it exists but I don't think it does, so we want to find out if it does.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a version like that. It’s possible since she was half asleep she’s misremembering the order of events, because Tiny Tim does die in the hypothetical future shown by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

But after Scrooge changes his ways, Tiny Tim lives. That’s explicit in the original work and all the adaptations I’ve ever seen.

After like a half hour we got her to kind of admit to that possibility, but she’s also pretty insistent there are a bunch of adaptations so there must be one like that probably

They are definitely misremembering. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come always appears in the final act and shows Tiny Tim's death, so yeah - the most likely thing they're remembering is that part & they completely forgot the last like 20 minutes of whatever film they watched.

all arguments can be solved by watching The Muppets Christmas Carol frog-no-pretext

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

You're talking about film here but every draft until the final one of the novel (the manuscripts are published) sorta does have Tiny Tim die at the end by omission, Dickens forgot to mention he didn't, which is why it's kind of a weird tacked on sentence insert in the final form

I didn't know Dostoevsky wrote A Christmas Carol.

I remember seeing that but in Simpsons font, so thirding(is this a word?) that it might be a Simpsons bit

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I've already looked through all the Christmas Carol references on the Simpsons wiki and didn't see anything

No I remember something like that... Maybe it was a Simpsons or Family Guy bit?
