Animation-fanatic? This holiday season you get to experience the Christmas spirit early as Disney brings you A Christmas Carol.
“A Christmas Carol” is both written and directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis (“Back to the Future,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” “Forrest Gump,” “Contact,” “The Polar Express,” “Beowulf”). The movie is based on Charles Dickens’ classic story.
Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey) begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk (Gary Oldman) and his cheery nephew (Colin Firth). But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take him on an eye-opening journey revealing truths Old Scrooge is reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it’s too late.
Jim Carrey stars as at least four different characters in the film. The movie also stars Gary Oldman, Robin Wright Penn, Colin Firth, Cary Elwes and Bob Hoskins.
Keep an eye out on A Christmas Carol, opening 19 November 2009 in theaters. Trailer follows:
