Movie #2215 "Spirited" (Apple tv) This is once again a rendition of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" from the ghosts' points of view. And I thought it was very entertaining. Music/Lyrics provided by the "LaLaLand" crew with a nice variety of ballads and rousing choruses in song, and choreography was just stunning! Lighting, special effects, a good story and strong sense of humor added to the mix make it a very entertaining musical. I know musicals are not everyone's cup of tea, but I love the genre and it is quite fitting to get across the spirit of the season. I must say , though, that this is really an adult version ---- with a new meaning of "Good Afternoon" I don't think I will ever forget! I'd give it 4.5 out of 5.
