My favorite Cratchit family.


This movie has by far the best Cratchit family. Richard E grant was amazing as Bob Cratchit. The man looked over worked, malnourished and the moment when he sat in his chair when he comes in with Tiny Tim and looks like he just hurts in every part of his body and is bone tired...such a great touch. He portrayed the burden of the Bob Cratchit character better than anyone I've seen. And yet he also captured the love, spirit and joy of the Bob Cratchit character. I never fail to tear up when he talks about tennis is little child And cries for moment. It's so heartbreaking.His wife was also great. I just absolutely love both of them. You can't get better than this casting on those two.

Necro thread, but I totally agree. I love this Cratchit family the best out of all the Christmas Carol movies. They look the part and their acting was great. They are my favorite part of this version hands down.
