About the film
Starring Jim Carrey as Scrooge and as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, together with Colin Firth, Bob Hoskins and Robin Wright Penn, produced and directed by Academy Award winner Bob Zemeckis. This spectacular 3D motion capture movie will bring to life Charles Dickens' classic Christmas tale as he truly imagined it and take audiences on an amazing journey from a snow covered London.
Ebenezer Scrooge begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk and his cheery nephew, 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.
Great Ormond Street Hospital and A Christmas Carol
The story of A Christmas Carol is as relevant now as it was in 1843. Dickens reminds us of the need for charity, to remember others and to look after children – especially during the Christmas season.
Dr. Jane Collins, Chief Executive of Great Ormond Street Hospital
The hospital has a unique relationship with Charles Dickens, created 150 years ago.
In the late 1830s, Charles Dickens was living just a couple of hundred metres from where the hospital would later be sited and saw first hand how children grew up side by side with poverty and disease. He based much of his writing on observations taken from the areas of central London close to Great Ormond Street and in A Christmas Carol, published in 1843, he created Tiny Tim, one of the most endearing and enduring images of a sick child.
The Disney Appeal
