Thanks for posting this. I also found the 1971 version. For a few years I thought I had gone crazy because I KNEW there were two other animated versions that I had seen as a kid. Silly me, never thought of looking it up on KZitem. DUH! How could I forget? In both versions, Marley's ghost portrayals in both of these cartoons are still the creepiest ones I ever have seen on any film.

In an obvious homage to the 1951 British film (as if the casting of Sim and Hordern weren't enough!), Chuck Jones and Richard Williams had some scenes drawn according to scenes from that version as well as the Leech illustrations. This animation, however, is quite literal to the original Dickens published story. (The 1951 version Noel Langley screenplay referenced some of Dickens' unpublished expanded dramatizations of the story.) More than worthy of its Oscar!

"If I could work my will, Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas on his lips should be boiled in his own pudding, and... and... buried with a stake of holly through his heart!" I always love how Scrooge equates Christmas cheer with vampirism. When I first saw the 1970s A Christmas Carol as a kid it scared me, especially the bits with Marley's Ghost, but these days I'd kill for the 1970s A Christmas Carol to be released on Blu-Ray, Marley's screams would give my audio system a workout

According to his granddaughter, who had consulted on the 1951 film, he was indeed planning stage productions in London and Liverpool that never came to fruition. He did, however, deliver dramatic readings featuring added material that discarded Belle's husband and instead substituted the actual death of Marley. The readings also stated Fan's dying in childbirth and that in a greed born of bitterness, Scrooge, with Marley, bankrupted Fezziwig and seized his business.

The mouth so abnormally agape, and the intensity of his voice, *need* to be frightening, because he comes bearing vital and life-saving reprimand. God certainly used Dickens for many years after his passing, with this story(and many others).

Did you know the reason Scrooge hates Fredrick so much is because his mother died giving birth to him then a few years later I think his father got remarried and Scrooge's step- mom gave birth to his sister. His father always rejected him because of his mother's death. Later, his sister died giving birth to Fredrick. Her last words to Scrooge were to take care of her son, but Scrooge fell into his father's shoes.

There was plenty of room for that, and room to spare; which is perhaps the reason why Scrooge thought he saw a locomotive hearse going on before him in the gloom" 'A Christmas Carol' Nice touch!

I am working on a version of 'A Christmas Carol' made up of spliced together segments of 10 Christmas Carols. You can take a look at part 1: A Christmas Carol Mashup part 1: 'Scrooge and Marley' But this animated film may be my favorite of any single version. The scene where the ghost of Christmas present takes Scrooge flying out to sea is really remarkable. If only this version could have been an hour; I think it is just too short to convey the full force of the story.

I did, however, see Stewart's one-man live version in his first run at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway in New York (2nd row center; my father had the flu, so I got the tickets!) He played EVERY part including Dickens. It was more than great and legendary; it was MIRACULOUS.

My father was part of the banking group that sponsored its ABC telecast in 1971, exactly 20 years since Alastair Sim and Michael Hordern originally played Scrooge and Marley, respectively, in the outstanding Renown 1951 film. This beautiful animated short is a great testament to what can be accomplished in only thirty minutes. The images are based on the original John Leech illustration from the first publication of Dickens' work.

Too bad they weren't released on a DVD together. Too bad the 1951 film isn't in perfect shape on DVD. Still, we get to savor the talents of Sim and Hordern twenty years after the original.
