A Christmas Carol. 2009.

A animated version of the old miser who is visited by his deceased old business partner to change his ways and will be visited by three ghosts, Past, Present and Future, and hopefully make him a better person.

Robert Zemeckis stays very close to the source novel even though some versions show the hearse marching down the street or going through Scrooge's house this one didn't. Jim Carrey provides the voice of Scrooge and other characters as do some of the other actors provide their voices. This is a bit darker even at the sight of Marley's jaw dropping spectre is scary but funny as he tries to sort it. There is a nice score by Alan Sivestri that makes it even more Christmasy.
