Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Christmas Carol: The Movie is a rather bizarre adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, made in 2001. It stars Simon Callow as Charles Dickens and Ebenezer Scrooge, Kate Winslet as Belle, Beth Winslet as Fan, Rhys Ifans as Bob Cratchit, and Nicolas Cage as Jacob Marley. It was directed by Jimmy T. Murakami, who also did The Snowman and When the Wind Blows.The movie opens in live-action, where Dickens explains to his audience that A Christmas Carol really began with a mouse, named Gabriel, who represents the hope of the Christmas season. From there it transitions to animation, where, among his usual nasty deeds, Scrooge sends Old Joe to accost people who don't pay his debts and throws a bucket of cold water on the caroling Tiny Tim, which will lead to his illness and death should Scrooge not reform. To this end, Scrooge is haunted by his old partner Jacob Marley and the three spirits of Christmas in hopes of mending his ways.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptation Expansion: This version gives Belle a subplot in the present day, where she writes to Scrooge begging him to relent on his debts, and in the Future sequence, Jacob Marley reappears to chain Scrooge like the other wandering spirits. | |

| Christmas Carol: The Movie / int_730d3664 | comment |
Adaptational Angst Upgrade: While in the book, Belle is shown Happily Married with children and living in comfort, here, she has no family, being still heartbroken over Scrooge, and works at a hospital for the poor that struggles to make ends meet. If this isn’t enough, the only doctor at the hospital and the only member of staff besides herself gets taken to the debtors’ prison, and if it hadn’t been for Scrooge changing his ways, Belle would have had to close the hospital for good. | |
