I was born in 1951 and we watched Sim's Scrooge when we decorated the tree and it was on most days on the afternoon movie in the 1950s in my area. I have no patience for the other movies. 1935, 1938, 1984, just awful. I might watch the new animated one on Netflix soon.

Yes, we watched the Sim version when I was a kid as well. The only "other" version, a bit later--I don't remember the year, but I know I watched it devotedly--was, of course, here in the states, good old Mr. Magoo, which is surprisingly faithful, as @issybird mentioned.
