A Christmas Carol

Based On the book by Charles Dickens

A Christmas Carol (also known as Disney's A Christmas Carol) is a 2009 American animated Christmas fantasy film based on the 1843 novel of the same name by Charles Dickens. The film was directed, written, and co-produced by Robert Zemeckis, and stars a motion-captured and voice cast that includes Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Bob Hoskins, Robin Wright Penn, Cary Elwes and Fionnula Flanagan. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and ImageMovers Digital, and released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is Disney's third adaptation of the novel, following Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983) and The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). The film was animated through the process of motion-capture, a technique used in ImageMovers' previous animated films including The Polar Express (2004), Monster House (2006), and Beowulf (2007).
