The version available on Disney+ omits the sad song sung between Scrooge and his fiance as she breaks up with him for his avarice. As a kid i didn’t like it much, but as an adult i realize that it’s a critical emotional turning point for the movie.
Without that song, the whole film feels rather hollow.
The original film is one of my favorite Muppet movies and Christmas Carol adaptations. The loss of that song is a shame.

Yes I have seen that one and I have no idea why they would ever remove that. As you said, its a critical point.
I dust off the VCR just for that version. I am too lazy to digitize it, apparently.
They have the “Full Length Version” under “Extras”.
Ohhh today I learned the lost the negative and the scene is too low res…

Nope, they have the full version. It’s how I first watched it complete a few years ago.
