Summary
A musical reimagining of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol told from the perspective of the Ghost of Christmas Present, who selects a morally questionable media consultant as his next redemption target. The unrepentant subject pushes back, forcing the ghost to confront his own past and question whether anyone is truly beyond saving.
Spirited is a 2022 comedy, family and fantasy film. Inside comedy it is classed as Goofy.
7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 372 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 398 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 317 of whom clear the calibration test.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Spirited lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 372.
