Synopsis
This animated version of the Charles Dickens Christmas classic stars Simon Callow as the voice of Ebenezer Scrooge. The tale also features the vocal talents of Nicolas Cage, Kate Winslet, Jane Horrocks, and many others.

From the Back Cover
Dickens's classic Christmas fable has been reworked many times, but this particular version, produced by the executive producer of "The Snowman", is also directed by Jimmy T. Murakami. It also captures the very best essence of the festive season perfectly. Kate Winslet's music video for her hit single "What If" is added as a special Christmas gift.

Customer Reviews

christmas carol the movie
This was the first movies my youngest child had seen in the pictures, decided to purchase the dvd as a keep sake. It was just as great as I remembered, both my children loved it. Kate Winslet's song is beautiful. The characters are so real, scrooge changes from a miserable old man to a caring and loving person. Not a dry eye in the house.
A perfect christmas movie.

A sorry version of the story
The reason I wanted to buy this DVD was because I was an extra in the two live scenes at the beginning and end of the film and it was nice to have a record of the event.

The film is a very strange take on A Christmas Carol with Kate Winslett and Nicholas Cage voicing two cartoon mice.

I am not sure who it is aimed at - but my two young great nephews seemed to enjoy parts of it (they are 2 and 4) - so maybe that is a good indicator of the audience.

Not a patch on the Alastair Sim or Patrick Stewart versions - not even as accurate as the Muppet version.
