Where To Watch Spirited

Spirited reimagines the familiar Christmas ghost story with comedy, spectacular musical numbers, and a fresh perspective on redemption. Every Christmas, the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell) and his fellow spirits help transform one person who has lost their way. This year, they select Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds), a clever and ruthless media consultant who knows how to manipulate people and public opinion. Unlike the traditional Scrooge, Clint refuses to follow the expected path and challenges the spirits' entire redemption system. As the mission becomes increasingly complicated, Present is forced to confront his own past and question whether people can truly change. Kimberly (Octavia Spencer), a colleague of Clint's, also plays an important role in the story. The film combines the spirit of Dickens's original tale with contemporary humor, emotional moments, and Broadway-style musical performances.

More details about Spirited and where you can watch

Spirited (2022) is a modern musical comedy inspired by Charles Dickens’s classic novel A Christmas Carol. One of its most interesting features is that it tells the familiar redemption story from the perspective of the Ghost of Christmas Present, played by Will Ferrell, rather than focusing only on the person being visited. Ryan Reynolds plays Clint Briggs, a modern and manipulative media consultant who challenges the ghosts’ traditional methods of changing people’s lives. The film features elaborate musical numbers, energetic choreography, and humorous references to the original Dickens story. It also includes subtle literary jokes, such as a reference to “Little Larry,” a name Dickens reportedly considered for Tiny Tim. With its blend of Christmas magic, comedy, romance, and emotional storytelling, Spirited offers a fresh and entertaining twist on a beloved holiday classic.
