Even if you’ve never had the pleasure of cracking open this Christmas classic, we think you’ll agree that A Christmas Carolis the definitive seasonal story. And if you consider other such stories from decades past, you’ll recognize that many revolve around a character who, for whatever reason, is disenfranchised with Christmas, a trope that started...
You might be wondering why a Christmas tale with a dark undercurrent can be considered in any way a good thing, but the truth is that many classic tales – especially those set around the holidays – are no different. That’s not to suggest that A Christmas Carolis mean-spirited (no pun intended), but rather that there needs to be dark in order for th...
Up until now, we could have easily been talking about any version of A Christmas Carol, but the 2009 adaptation is incredibly faithful to the source material, capturing those dark undertones of its inky counterpart very well. While remaining faithful to a book doesn’t always work in a film’s favor, in this instance, it does. You might know of anoth...
A Christmas Carol was published in 1843, yet it’s a story that remains entirely relevant – perhaps now more than ever.

If you had no idea who directed Disney’s A Christmas Carol until now, if you were to hazard a guess that it’s from the same director as The Polar Express, you’d be right!

While on the subject of the CG animation and motion-capture performances, we can’t not talk about Jim Carrey. Best known for roles of a more slapstick nature such as the Grinch(at least during the early part of his career), Ebenezer Scrooge should probably be considered one of his more serious roles – to some extent, at least. His performance isn’t...
Like The Polar Express, A Christmas Carolhas taken much criticism over the years due to the ‘uncanny valley’ animation, but we think the choice to tell the story in this way helps to capture the book’s more whimsical moments. It also allows the film to be as ambitious as the book, whether it’s an ethereal specter or Scrooge flying through the night...

Before we offer an analysis of A Christmas Carol, it might be worth briefly summarising the plot of the novella. Summary. The novella is divided into five chapters or ‘staves’. In the first stave, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge rejects his nephew Fred’s invitation to dine with him and his family for Christmas.
