Did You Know In A CHRISTMAS CAROL…

There happens to be a hidden detail that links to Charles Dickens’ original novel. Just as the movie’s opening credits are beginning, Scrooge is seen walking down the street. As he does so, a guide dog spots him, yelps and quickly drags its owner away from him. This is a nod to a piece of description from the novel, in which Dickens wrote about how Scrooge’s temperament was so known in the city that “even the blinds’ dogs knew and avoided him”.

This version is often disregarded but it’s actually really brilliantly done.

Edit: For those wondering why I say this one is disregarded, online articles I've read in the past that rate different versions only include live action Christmas Carols, and in my personal experience with these articles, I've found that many even explicitly say they don't wish to count any animated versions in their list because they're not "serious, " which is just downright stupid to judge something just because it's not live action.

I love how in this movie version of A Christmas Carol Scrooge ACTUALLY looks like a very old man.

[jackalanimatronics]

This entire film is almost perfectly paraphrasing the book, even unspoken details like this. Fantastic movie, criminally underrated.

I’m surprise you didn’t say that it’s one of the few film versions which includes Ignorance and Want.
They are two half starved children under Ghost of Christmas robes

I noticed that. Many people know Scrooge's temperament and avoid him when he approaches.

‘No eye at all is better than an an evil eye, dark master!’

I just wish the Ghost of Christmas Future hadn’t been this huge jump scare/action horror sequence. The terror of the character, is that it does nothing. Its presence alone is haunting enough.

That also happened at the beginning of the 1951 version.

[sirorliktheironclad]

My favorite adaptation of A Christmas Carol because it stays true to the book.

[NiKiMa]

‘even the blinds’ dogs knew’ feels odd, but conveys the message

[endlessnoise]

That also happened in the 1951 movie “Scrooge”

[theBigA]

Which is why I love this version of “A Christmas Carol”. Because it only known version that is the most accurate to the original book.

[TWIZZTHEWHIZKID]

Besides 'The Polar Express'... 'A Christmas Carol' is my favorite Christmas movie.

[reallyreal]

Did you know A Christmas Carol is based on A Christmas Carol

[wednesday]

"A hidden detail which links to Charles Dixons orginal novel"... the whole movie is linked to the novel! Lol

[paulwalsh]

"better no eye than an evil eye, good master" if I remember correctly

[mistertwister]

I always wish this had been a live action film. I know why it wasn’t, and yes there were plenty of interesting ideas and effects done with the style, but seeing the behind the scenes made me realize I really just wanted to see the actors unimpeded by the uncanny animation

[alaskanpersuasion]

That’s why I found it odd for the two plump charity fellows made it seem like they didn’t know who uncle Scrooge was.

[No-jpmu]

Is the whole movie not a nod to the novel A Christmas Carol?

[theempireeofficial]

Say what you will about the movie but at least it’s faithful!
