Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell’s Christmas comedy Spirited comes to Apple TV Plus this November

Trailer 1 Spirited, the Christmas holiday musical comedy starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds coming to Apple TV Plus, released on Wednesday and offers a glimpse at the film’s irreverent take on Charles Dickens’ classic novella Christmas Carol.

Reynolds is Clint Briggs. He plays a modern-day Ebenezer Crooge and is visited by Ferrell’s Ghost of Christmas Present. When Briggs’ resistance to change inspires Present to re-evaluate his own past, present, and future, he finds himself unexpectedly smitten with Briggs’ coworker (Octavia Spencer) and asks for Briggs’ help in wooing her.

There are dozens of interpretations possible ofChristmas Carol, including the 1908 silent film starring Thomas Ricketts, 1992’s The Muppet Christmas CarolYou can also find many other Christmas-themed episodes on Doctor Who. Spirited doesn’t exactly look like it’s cracking the mold, but it does look like a serviceable enough spin on the original story to warrant a viewing.
