The only movie version of "A Christmas Carol" to win an Oscar.
After this television short won the Oscar, the Academy changed its rules so that a made-for-television cartoon could never again win this honor, even if it was shown theatrically.
This version of the story was actually a made-for-television short, and premiered as a television special, but was thought to be so excellent that it was released theatrically and pronounced eligible for Oscar consideration.
The animation was based on John Leech's illustrations for the original edition of the novel "A Christmas Carol".
It is the first movie adaptation to include all three scenes where the Spirit of Christmas Present takes Scrooge all over Great Britain to show him various people celebrating Christmas by singing carols including miners in a hut, two male lighthouse keepers, and sailors on a ship at sea. They were in Charles Dickens' original novel, but many other moy adaptations omit all three of these scenes. Thankfully, the 1999 live-action television movie, A Christmas Carol (1999), starring Sir Patrick Stewart, did feature the miners, lighthouse keepers, and sailors at sea.
"Ghost of Christmas Present: Oh God! to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust."
