It is a half-hour animated film directed by Richard Williams (with Chuck Jones as executive producer, and Grim Natwick as an uncredited animator). Originally broadcast by ABC television, it subsequently had a brief theatrical run, allowing it to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.London, 1843: On Christmas Eve, Ebeneezer Scrooge, a notorious miser and curmudgeon, is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge that he must change his ways to avoid a terrible fate in the hereafter, and tells him of the coming of three spirits: the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come. These spirits will teach Scrooge how to keep Christmas.Michael Redgrave narrates the story, while Alastair Sim and Michael Hordern provide the voices of Scrooge and Marley, reprising their roles from the 1951 live-action feature Scrooge.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Ghost of Christmas Past also gets a notable mention for being very accurate to the original depiction of the book's text, which is to say, a being in constant, flickering flux of going from one body with the usual set of proportions to multiple eyes, heads, legs, and bodies all while in a pattern of rapidly aging/de-aging its appearance. the accurate description of the original character done in animation which in itself, justifies it.

Compressed Adaptation: It follows the story from the book pretty well, although a lot naturally had to be cut since it's only 25 minutes long.
