A Christmas Carol

An animated retelling of Charles Dickens classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions. Ebenezer Scrooge (Carrey) begrudges his ever-suffering clerk Bob Cratchit (Oldman) Christmas Day off, and is so antisocial he refuses a Christmas dinner invitation from his nephew Fred (Colin Firth). The stingy old accountant is surprised by three ghosts who separately present him with emotionally telling snapshots from his own life -- past, present and future -- which fill the grumpy old grouch with regret, fear and an overwhelming sense of the error of his ways.  (filmaffinity.com)
