"BTW, since there have been so many remakes of film versions of “A Christmas Carol”, do they count?"

Does any (non-Bible) story have more remakes than "A Christmas Carol?"

My personal favorite was the musical "Scrooge" with Albert Finney. My pet peeve of many remakes is a half-grown 'Tiny' Tim.

I remember that one. The added storyline of Marley meeting Scrooge in hell was scary to me when I was a kid, although it turned into a bit of comic relief when Scrooge got his new infernal “office” with the heat turned off and covered in ice (he was to be Lucifer’s new clerk, serving in the same capacity as Bob Cratchit did for him).
