Trivia

In the novella, the Spirit of Christmas Past carries an extinguisher, a small funnel which was used to put out candles. This was eliminated for the movie version, although the Spirit does appear more or less solid, depending on the scene, to correspond with the description in the book. See more »

Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: When Scrooge and the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come are looking through Bob Cratchit's window, C. Konarski's face is clearly visible for a second. See more »

Quotes

Spirit of Christmas Past: Are you afraid?
