Did you know the reason Scrooge hates Fredrick so much is because his mother died giving birth to him then a few years later I think his father got remarried and Scrooge's step- mom gave birth to his sister. His father always rejected him because of his mother's death. Later, his sister died giving birth to Fredrick. Her last words to Scrooge were to take care of her son, but Scrooge fell into his father's shoes.
For four years now, I've been watching this specific version of A Christmas Carol on Christmas, and each time I watch it, I become so wrapped in the story. It's incredible.
"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
"If I could work my will, Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas on his lips should be boiled in his own pudding, and... and... buried with a stake of holly through his heart!"
I always love how Scrooge equates Christmas cheer with vampirism.
When I first saw the 1970s A Christmas Carol as a kid it scared me, especially the bits with Marley's Ghost, but these days I'd kill for the 1970s A Christmas Carol to be released on Blu-Ray, Marley's screams would give my audio system a workout

Amazing, "A Christmas Carol" is Charles Dickens immortal Christmas classic. I love the animation in this adaption, I'll be watching the rest of this and favoriteing it as I do. I also like that they brought back Alister Simm as Scrooge, I loved him in the original and this shall be no exception, he still is/was Ebenezer Scrooge.
I'm giving this gem as I watch it 4 out of 4 stars.
"Boiled in his own pudding and buried with a stake of holy through his heart".
Woah, when I was kid watching this, I thought that was the most darkest, goriest way to kill someone on Christmas I have ever heard. I am surprised no one has thought of doing that in those "Christmas horror movie" like Santa Sleigh, Black Christmas, or even Jack Frost.
Seems like people here have seen as many versions of "A Christmas Carol" as I have. At present, I have seen over 31 versions. Yeah, I know, yes I am a geek but I just love this story.
It has been years since I last saw this version, not having been able to find it. Like every other, it has revised the original story (perhaps for time constraints?), yet there is something about this version I find most enjoyable.
K, this is definitely one of my favorite stories ever and this version is a lot of fun. I also just got done reading Jacob T. Marley (it's kind of a prequel to Christmas Carol, like Wicked is to Wizard of Oz). Anyway, awesome book. It made me want to go read Dicken's Christmas Carol again. I'm a major Dickens fan and somehow Bennett retains the Dickensian style. Can't wait for Christmas!
@CreativeLib Yup, I just don't care for musical because they distract you from the story too much. The only one I like is Hair because the music was superb. But I agree the Sim version is the best version of Scrooge.
Thank you for posting this here. This was my late mother's favorite version of Christmas Carol. She loved the drawings! Sigh - its never on tv these days.
Fantastic; must see movie...All of the cast seem to just flow together...This movie can be enjoyed by all... check it out for free on cartoonsi.co.cc you won't be sorry
Great acting; each actor seems to know and really live the character in which they're playing... the story is also amaizing... simply the movie everyone should see at least once... you could do that for free on cartoonsi.co.cc
This movie was unbelievable! Lots of action.... Great acting..... Romance.... semply genius! definitelly worth seeing... visit cartoonsi.co.cc free movie database
The film offers plenty of compare and contrast moments throughout, starting with the very first seconds.... it's extremely interesting...check it out on cartoonsi.co.cc
@ZiggyStarlet123 I'm offended that you find my comment offensive. Most kids today are morons, for all I know you're one of them, brainwashed and made stupid from the animated garbage out there today.
Thank you sooo much for posting this movie. I used to watch it as a kid and haven't been able to find it anywhere. Brought back a lot of great memories. Thank you.
Sim's voice is AMAZING!! And some of these scenes are very scary. Its truly an amazing CHRISTmas ghost story! I watched this last year and I'm watching it again this Christmas morning!
This is by far the finest version of Dickens' C/C I have ever seen. Always was a holiday favourite of mine. Still gets the message across after all these years.
@dragzz1 Yeah, I do kinda find the voice over out of touch with the character; especially with such good expressions. I was hoping he'd channel more of Aliester Sim's smugness or Michael Cain's snappishness...he just comes off as, well, as you said, like he's been smoking something. Too mellow - humbug!
@diddymuck I disagree, I saw this movie in my public school back in the 70s, before Disney started putting out all it's garbage, and the Saturday cartoons had some intelligence to them.
omg I remember this one! This used to be on a Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer tape I got as a kid for Christmas and even though it creeped me out it still was one of the best Christmas Carol adaptions I have seen :D
Can someone explain to me why Tiny Tim would die just because he is a Cripple?? I don't quite understand that. I know a lot of people who can't walk and there is no real threat to their life becasue of it. I don't mean to read so much into a story but why would Tiny Tim die just becasue he can't walk well??
@Dimaline312000 Tiny Tim is crippled as a result of an ongoing(and unspecified) illness.Whatever disease he had started out by rendering the victim too weak to walk properly,and as time went by,without treatment,it would leave the victim dead.As you know at the end of the story,Tiny Tim makes a full recovery ONLY because Scrooge foots the hospital bill.Cratchett was too poor to afford even the most menial medicine;in those days even the common cold could spread and lead to severe side effects.
@Bbardo Mmm What kind of illness could crippled the kid and then leads him to a secure dead? Maybe a neurological disease? A virus that gets into his spine? Too much dramatic stuff i think, but What real life can show about those situations! There are people who couldnt buy the most simple pill against a flu..whom doesnt have any resource to face terrible situations.... :( But, what could we do? Dont know..these are the eternal facts of life :(
@seekingnewhorizons I always thought that given it was the Victorian Era and they were lower class that the boy was the victim of a severe vitamin defientecy that made his leg disfigured, and he was sick because of mal-nourishment. But that was what my theory on it
I remember watching this animated version on TV in the late 70's - it made an indelible impression on me and drew me in to Dicken's original work, which I love. This production showed the great potential of animating serious literature, a potential that never came to be realized There have been several worthy adaptations of A CHRISTMAS CAROL since this one, each one with its own merits in bringing out something worthwhile from the original story, but this one is excellent.
This is the first version I remember and, to me, it is still the definitive (after the book of course). I hadn't seen it in many years and had forgotten how beautiful the artwork is. Thanks for posting.
"Xmas is Christmas, without the Christ. Don't X him out!" I loveee Christmas! :D This is my first time watching this movie, I like it lol (I wrote a story about Christmas on my channel, check it out!) =D
Thanks for posting this version. I personally think Marley should be this disturbing, if not more so, in every version. The mouth so abnormally agape, and the intensity of his voice, *need* to be frightening, because he comes bearing vital and life-saving reprimand. God certainly used Dickens for many years after his passing, with this story(and many others).
who comes up with these names.. who the hell names their kid Ebeneezer and Geeves.. I mean what jobs can you get besides a butler if you name your kid Geeves.
@MissGenius3847 I know! It used to scare me when I'd watch it as a child. Scrooge's house is like a haunted house in this version. I have this on VHS, but I wish it was out on DVD for a decent price.
@Mastophales I'd buy it in a second if it was out on DVD, it's strange that the Alister Sim and George C Scott Christmas Carol films have just been released on Blu-Ray but that this classic animated movie wasn't ever even released on VHS :(
@N30K4L little different from the Muppets version eh =) i dunno whether Statler and Waldorf would do much to scare me into changing my ways, but this ghost? damn O.o
i super love this cartoon, i mean this story that happens every day in downtown.
we work for the rich, he becomes rich in our hand labor, and everything is excess or deficiency. SICK Isn't it?we are obligated to think the way we think , to need the things we need, to want, and to need all bunch of useless things, garbage. consumerism, ignorance poverty, exploitation, lies... you name it, and see it we choose this way the majority of us good for nothing
whats the one where dickens is doing a reading at the start and he sees a little mouse? then it goes into the story? its driving me mad! anyone know? xx
I have been looking for this version for decades! My favorite since I was a child. God Bless You!!! No movie has ever shown the "hearse" going up the stairs.
How dare they tamper with the original! It's not the same without the muppets!!!

I wish they would put this on tv, I found the dvd but they want from 99.99 to 199.00
I would just love to watch this with my grand kids so happy I can at least watch it on You Tube

@MissGenius3847 I know! It used to scare me when I'd watch it as a child. Scrooge's house is like a haunted house in this version. I have this on VHS, but I wish it was out on DVD for a decent price.

Does anyone know where you can purchase this DVD ? I remember watching this on TV, every Holiday Season as a kid. Best animated version ever !

@Mastophales I'd buy it in a second if it was out on DVD, it's strange that the Alister Sim and George C Scott Christmas Carol films have just been released on Blu-Ray but that this classic animated movie wasn't ever even released on VHS :(

@N30K4L little different from the Muppets version eh =) i dunno whether Statler and Waldorf would do much to scare me into changing my ways, but this ghost? damn O.o

i super love this cartoon, i mean this story that happens every day in downtown.
we work for the rich, he becomes rich in our hand labor, and everything is excess or deficiency. SICK Isn't it?we are obligated to think the way we think , to need the things we need, to want, and to need all bunch of useless things, garbage. consumerism, ignorance poverty, exploitation, lies... you name it, and see it we choose this way the majority of us good for nothing
