Storyline
In 1860, the stingy and cranky Ebenezer Scrooge that hates Christmas; loathes people and defends the decrease of the surplus of poor population runs his bank exploiting his employee Bob Cratchit and clients, giving a bitter treatment to his own nephew and acquaintances. However, in the Christmas Eve, he is visited by the doomed ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley that tells him that three spirits would visit him that night. The first one, the spirit of past Christmas, recalls his miserable youth when he lost his only love due to his greed; the spirit of the present Christmas shows him the poor situation of Bob's family and how joyful life may be; and the spirit of future Christmas shows his fate. Scrooge finds that life is good and time is too short and suddenly you are not there anymore, changing his behavior toward Christmas, Bob, his nephew and people in general. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Trivia
This version differs from the book in that, here, Scrooge's fiancée, Isabel, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig. In the book she is not related to them, and is called "Belle". See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When the Ghost of Jacob Marley leaves Scrooge's bedroom the bedroom door is hinged on the right, but when Scrooge leaves his bedroom the door is hinged on the left. This is because Marley leaves through another door. See more »Quotes
