I didn't realize that at the end of Muppets Christmas Carol, when Gonzo says "and Tiny Tim, who did NOT DIE!" that's an actual quote from the book.
Like Dickens actually makes NOT all caps and everything.
And Gargantuan Tim, who is impervious to physical harm
Also Prodigal Tim, who costs one blue mana and two colorless mana, has one power and one toughness, and you can tap him to deal a single point of damage to a target creature or player
Holy shit, this is NOT a bit post

Apparently Muppet's Christmas Carrol actually has more direct quotes from the book than most adaptions of the work. Some Dickens scholars have even praised it as being one of the best adaptations.
I love that
Costumers also note that the styles are very period-accurate
It's the most class conscious adaptation I've seen
The way it's written kinda looks like the Hogfather version of death interjecting.

I WANT TO BELIEVE
Funnily enough it wasn't in the original manuscript but I believe he added it in the editing and printing step because publishers were worried it was too ambiguous, hence why it's somewhat snarky.
"So does Tiny Tim die?"
"No, he doesn't."
"Can you make that, I dunno, a bit more obvious to the read?"
"Okay, he did NOT DIE!"
The guy who sang "Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, having a wonderful time"?
Its even funnier, he forgot to make that clear up until.the finally draft so it was kinda shoved in
