Goofs

The show mentions the Cratchits not having a Christmas tree. Although Christmas trees had been introduced by 1843, the year in which "A Christmas Carol" was published and presumably takes place, the use of the tree in homes had not yet become a widespread custom in England. See more »

Quotes

Ebenezer Scrooge: Spirit! They're gone! Spirit, they've vanished!

An Annual True Classic
2 December 2005 | by (Simi Valley, California) – See all my reviews

This wonderful animated film is timeless. I had the special privilege of working with those talented individuals in this production. (I was the voice of young Ebenezer Scrooge.) Jim Backus, Royal Dano, Paul Frees, and all the rest were pure magic working together. You can imagine the antics that went on during rehearsals and taping. We were laughing almost as much of the time as we were performing our parts! The music (Walter Scharf, Bob Merrill, Jule Styne) had a style all its own which perfectly matched the characters and settings. It's no wonder this production has been so popular year after year. I'm sure it will continue to bring enjoyment to families for many years to come.
