ABOUT THE MOVIE
DISNEY’S A CHRISTMAS CAROL, a multi-sensory thrill ride
re-envisioned by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Robert
Zemeckis, captures the fantastical essence of the classic Dickens
tale in a groundbreaking 3D motion picture event.
Ebenezer Scrooge (JIM CARREY) begins the Christmas holiday
with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk (GARY
OLDMAN) and his cheery nephew (COLIN FIRTH).
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.
The movie opens nationwide November 6, 2009.
