Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Trailer

Based on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, this musical adaptation hails from Timeless Films in association with Axis Studios. Stephen Donnelly directs and wrote the screenplay. The film features re-imagined songs from the late, great Leslie Bricusse (1970′s Scrooge) as well as songs by Jeremy Holland-Smith, who also arranged and produced the music.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol stars the voice talents of Luke Evans (Ebenezer Scrooge), Johnny Flynn (Bob Cratchit), Jonathan Pryce (Jacob Marley), Olivia Colman (Ghost of Christmas Past), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Ghost of Christmas Future), Jessie Buckley (Isabel Fezziwig), Fra Fee (Harry Huffam), James Cosmo (Mr. Fezziwig), and Giles Terera (Tom Jenkins).

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol hits select theaters on November 18, 2022, and Netflix on December 2, 2022.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (2022)

I actually watched this last year, but for some reason didn't review it. Anyway, I needed a re-watch to remember all the gory details.

This Netflix animation is a good one, friends. They've really hit their sweet spot with Christmas animation. It's the classic Christmas ghost story we know and love with Ebeneezer Scrooge (Luke Evans) introduced at the top as a miser with a soft spot for his dog, Prudence. Honestly, the addition of Prudence made this redemption arc a lot more believable for me. Anyway, so, Mr. Scrooge bumps into his nephew Harry Huffman (Fra Fee), who invites him to Christmas dinner as Mr. Scrooge is shaking down Tom Jenkins (Giles Terera) for 25 pounds on Christmas Eve. Of course, Tom Jenkins doesn't have it and Scrooge doesn't have patience for Tom or Harry (maybe he would for Dick, but who's to say), so Scrooge doubles his debt and heads back to his office with Bob Cratchit (Johnny Flynn).

As usual, the first ghost who visits Scrooge is his late business partner, Jacob Marley (Jonathan Pryce). He tells Scrooge about how his greed in life lead to him being chained in death and how Scrooge needs to change his ways to save himself.

Then, the ghost of Christmas Past (Olivia Colman) shows up and takes him through past Christmases with his sister Jen (Jemima Lucy Newman), his old love Isabel Fezziwig (Jessie Buckley), and his old boss Mr. Fezziwig (James Cosmo). Scrooge relives some of the best and worst moments of his life.

The second ghost, of course, is the ghost of Christmas Present (Trevor Dion Nicholas). Present shows him Harry's Christmas party that Scrooge blew off yet again where Harry's wife Hela Huffman (Sheena Bhattessa) goes on about how much Scrooge sucks. A similar scene unfolds at the Cratchit residence during toasts.

Finally, the silent ghost of Christmas Yet to Come takes Scrooge to the future where we find Tom Jenkins and all the other people who owe Scrooge money are celebrating his death with song and dance. Inappropriate, but I would do the same if one person dying meant my student loans stopped existing. Scrooge also discovers the unfortunate death of Tiny Tim Cratchit (Olliver Jenkins and Rupert Turnbull).

We know that when Ebeneezer Scrooge wakes up on Christmas day, he's a changed man and he saves Tiny Tim and makes up with his nephew Harry. It's a classic story told several times in several different ways. So what's special about this one? Well, the original songs are a nice touch. It's a little spooky, which it should be! It's a ghost story! The voice actors in this are phenomenal, and the animation is also really beautiful. Overall, 4.5 stars.

It’s a perfect version of A Christmas Carol for this generation of kids. Later Never Comes is such a great song.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol is a 2022 computer-animated musical fantasy film directed by Stephen Donnelly from a screenplay by both Donnelly and the late Leslie Bricusse, adapted from the 1970 film Scrooge, for which Bricusse wrote the screenplay and composed the songs. It features the voices of Luke Evans, Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Jonathan Pryce, Johnny Flynn, James Cosmo and Trevor Dion Nicholas.

Those weeks full of joy, then a moment of dread Someone simply said your child is...
