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 »

I watched this movie again this year. It has become a tradition in our household as one the family activities of the Christmas season. When it came out of DVD last year, I was thrilled to see it widescreen since I had never seen it in the theaters.
I see so many of the "professional" reviews pan this movie. My advice is to ignore them. Why do we listen to people who wouldn't know how to choreograph the most basic dance scene or perform the visually flawless flying wire shots. I appreciate the movie more and more each time I see it. The skill of the filmmaker is evident. I am very curious about the original 2.5 hour version talked about in several of these posts. I would like to know if this really exist. However, I might be disappointed since I have grown to love this film in this version.
