A Christmas Carol (a.k.a.A Christmas Carol: Scrooge's Ghostly Tale) is a 2006animatedChristmas film. It is an adaptation of the 1843Charles Dickens novellaof the same name, and was produced byBKN International andBKN New Media,[1] and was the first release in BKN's "BKN Classic Series" anthology of animated direct-to-video films.
A Christmas Carol portrays the characters in the novella asanthropomorphic animals:Ebenezer Scrooge and his family are skunks,Bob Cratchit and his family are rabbits,Jacob Marley is a cricket, and the Ghosts of ChristmasPast,Present, andFuture are a stork, a kangaroo, and a walrus, respectively. There are other deviations from the novella; for example, Marley is said to have been dead for two years instead of seven, the Ghost of Christmas Future is given dialogue, andTiny Tim does not die in the hypothetical future presented to Scrooge but instead grows up to become a miser like Scrooge himself.
The film was first released in the United States theatrically in select cities byKidtoon Films on November 6, 2006. It was released onDVD in the United Kingdom on November 20, byBKN Home Entertainment, and a day later in the United States on November 21, byGenius Products in the same year.
