Trailer and Poster for Netflix's Animated Film SCROOGE: A CHRISTMAS CAROL
A new trailer and poster have been released by Netflix for their upcoming animated holiday movie, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol. This is based on the classic tale by Charles Dickens, and it is written and directed by Stephen Donnelly (Monster High: Welcome to Monster High).
The voice cast is great, and it includes Luke Evans (voices Scrooge), Olivia Colman (voices Past), Jessie Buckley (voices Isabel Fezziwig), Johnny Flynn (voices Bob Cratchit), Fra Fee (voices Harry Huffam), Giles Terera (voices Tom Jenkins), Trevor Dion Nicholas (voices Present), James Cosmo (voices Mr Fezziwig), and Jonathan Pryce (voices Jacob Marley).
Here’s the film’s description:
Produced by Timeless Films in association with Axis Studios and directed by Stephen Donnelly, Charles Dickens' ageless legend is reborn in this supernatural, time-travelling, musical adaptation of the definitive Christmas story. With his very soul on the line, Scrooge has but one Christmas Eve left to face his past and build a better future. Featuring re-imagined songs written for the movie from the legendary and two-time Academy Award winner Leslie Bricusse OBE, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol is one for a new generation to sing.
The movie tells the tale we’ve seen recreated many times over the years. I don’t really see the need for another version of this story, since we have The Muppet Christmas Carol, and that movie is *chef’s kiss* perfection. But kids do enjoy new animated movies to watch during the holidays, so I guess they can give this a go. I’d be willing to check it out for the music. Watch the trailer below, and enjoy Scrooge: A Christmas Carol on Netflix on December 2nd.
