A Christmas Carol was officially released on November 6, 2009 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Its world premiere in London coincided with the switching-on of the annual Oxford Street and Regent Street Christmas lights.

The film is a 2009 American computer-animated Christmas film written and directed by Robert Zemeckis, based on Charles Dickens’s 1843 novel of the same name. It stars Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, and others. The film was CGI-animated through the process of motion-capture, a technique used in Zemeckis’s previous films like The Polar Express (2004). Rated PG, the abridged version of the film being shown at Carolina Theatre is a little over an hour in length, and excludes some of the more frightening sections of the film to be more suitable for audiences of all ages. It’s a Christmastide classic!
