If you dislike all versions, then please interpret <q>favorite<\/q> to mean <span style=\"font-style: italic ;\">least disliked<\/span>.  In the event of a tie, you may select more than one.  Since I will surely have missed some versions, I have included the option of <q>other<\/q> at the bottom; I would appreciate a comment identifying other video versions, even if they are not favorites.  I have provided a link to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/\">IMDb<\/a> entry for each version of which I know.  Also, for the non-animated versions, if I have a name for the actor who played Scrooge (or the Scrooge analogue), I have included this name along with the release date.
