This is the third installment of Movie Night with Batoul & Seidet, a monthly series in which Batoul Achy and Seidet Segura will collaborate on and taking turns writing classic movie reviews from a modern perspective.
The 1951 film A Christmas Carol and 2022 film Spirited are both films that share a handful of similarities, yet differences.
