About
Synopsis
A Christmas Carol (1971) — watch online on iFILM: an Oscar-winning animated short by Richard Williams, with Alastair Sim voicing Ebenezer Scrooge.
Three spirits visit the miser Scrooge on Christmas Eve and show him past, present, and what's coming. Williams gave the film a dark, engraving-inspired look — all shadow and Victorian grime, with none of the soft warmth most adaptations default to. It took home the Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 1973. At 25 minutes it's the tightest Dickens on screen. Stream A Christmas Carol (1971) on iFILM.
