Spirited - Magia di Natale

Spirited is a 2022 American Christmas musical comedy film directed by Sean Anders, and written and produced by Anders and John Morris, with songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. It is a modern retelling of Charles Dickens's 1843 novella A Christmas Carol and a satire of the various adaptations since. The film stars Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Octavia Spencer, Sunita Mani, Patrick Page, Andrea Anders, Marlow Barkley, Joe Tippett, Jen Tullock, and Tracy Morgan. In the film, the Ghost of Christmas Present is nearing retirement, which would mean a return to Earth, and sets his sights on an "unredeemable" man named Clint Briggs, who ends up helping the Ghost come to terms with his own past.

Spirited was released in select theaters in the United States on November 11, 2022, before its streaming release on November 18, 2022, by Apple TV+. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with the songs and performances and chemistry of Ferrell and Reynolds receiving praise. This film marks the final appearance of Judi Dench, who has a cameo role in it, before her retirement from acting in 2022.
