Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie along with The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) are the only versions where the scene of the Cratchit family and Fred's party swap places. In the original story and on other film versions, the Cratchit dinner scene takes place before Fred's party.
- GoofsScrooge collects a sheaf of papers regarding debts that he's taken over but when he meets up with Joe, his debt collector, instead of giving him the papers he gives him a book.
- Quotes
Ebenezer Scrooge: Cratchit, that slovenly, good for nothing... Even a tiny mouse is more tidy!
- Alternate versionsSome DVD versions omit the live action theatrical opening and ending featuring Simon Callow as Charles Dickens. The Region 1 DVD from MGM has both scenes as a supplement in the special features section.

Featured review
I quite much liked this version. I know that the story of Ebenezer Scrooge has been filmed many times but I don't care about that because of the moral point of this story. And hey, how many Dracula movies are out there?
The old-time animation was excellent and invigorating as I am quite bored with many modern day dull computer animations.
Mice were an excellent spice in the story. It looks like that many hate those mice and that they're not part of the story but hopefully everybody remembers Charles Dickens' lines in the start of the movie that this is not a straight adaptation from the book. Perhaps he just added those mice while telling the story? To me, mice didn't steal the story to themselves. The moral story of the original book is still there. And there aren't a director who didn't add something to the movie nevertheless what book says.
The ghost parts of the movie were marvelously made (especially the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come -part).
All in all, a well-made animated movie.
