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 3-D 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. 

Disney’s A Christmas Carol, the classic Dickens’ tale, is re-envisioned by
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis in a groundbreaking 3-D
motion picture event starring Jim Carrey, Colin Firth, Robin Wright Penn and
Bob Hoskins.
