What happens

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol is a 2022 animated family Christmas musical fantasy comedy drama film directed by Stephen Donnelly. It is an animated remake of the 1970 film Scrooge, written by Leslie Bricusse, which itself is based on the 1843 novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The film was produced by Timeless Films, and features the voices of Luke Evans, Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Jonathan Pryce, Johnny Flynn, James Cosmo and Trevor Dion Nicholas. It was released in select theaters on November 18, 2022, and on Netflix on December 2, 2022. The film is dedicated to Leslie Bricusse, who died a year before its release. The film received mixed reviews from critics with criticism aimed at the pacing and humour but praise for the animation, soundtrack, and voice acting. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
