Synopsis
Christmas Carol: The Movie (2001) is a British animated adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol — watch online on iFILM. The voice cast is unexpected for a seasonal family film: Nicolas Cage as Ebenezer Scrooge, alongside Kate Winslet, Michael Gambon and Jane Horrocks, directed by Jimmy T. Murakami (The Snowman, When the Wind Blows).
Scrooge is the most despised man in a frozen London — a debt-collector who can take a child's toy and call it business. Christmas Eve brings the ghost of his partner Marley, rattling chains and carrying a warning. Three more spirits follow: Past, Present and Future, each holding up a mirror to a life Scrooge has spent not looking at.
Murakami frames the animation with live-action sequences, giving the film an odd, slightly melancholy texture — warmer than the cast might suggest, quieter than most versions of this story. Cage plays it straight, and it works. Stream Christmas Carol: The Movie (2001) online on iFILM.
