Disney’s A Christmas Carol

Notable cast: Jim Carrey, Gray Oldman, Colin Firth, Robin Wright

What it’s about: This movie retells the classic story by Charles Dickens. The story is about an old miser living in the Victoria age who learns how important it is to share with others and be surrounded by love and compassion, not just greed and money.

Why you should watch it for the holidays: A Christmas Carol is definitely a Christmas story classic that has been around for hundreds of years now. While there have been many different version and retellings of this story over the years, one of the most recent is the Disney version that came out in 2009. This movie has a similar look and feel to The Polar Express which was on this list earlier. If you are looking to watch a story about Christmas that you love and treasure but in a new medium, you should definitely watch this movie.

The message of A Christmas Carol is that it’s better to give than to receive and that being selfish and greedy will leave you lonely and sad in the end. It’s always a good reminder to look out for other people and share what we have with others.

This movie has all the good elements of a ghost story as well as a great holiday meaning, so, if you’re in the mood for a more modern animated classic, it’s a great idea to watch Disney’s A Christmas Carol. You’ll be feeling thankful for your family and friends and wanting to share your good fortune with others.
