Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Gets Animated Watch Official Trailer

We do love a song or two in the festive season like Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds‘ Spirited. From next month we’ll have another, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol, both offering  a fresh look at the classic Christmas story.

Netflix have released the official Trailer for Scrooge: A Christmas Carol as things get animated. Stephen Donnelly direct, the animated story of Charles Dickens‘ ageless legend who is reborn in this supernatural, time-travelling, musical adaptation of the definitive Christmas story.

The trailer opens with a reminder of how horrible Scrooge was to his fellow human being. The biggest challenge is to present a new version that hasn’t been seen before. Especially when A Christmas Carol story has been told many times before, director Stephen Donnelly promises it will engage us. The unexpected musical choices, time travelling and psychedelic tone tick the boxes this will be different.
