** In the climactic chorus of "God Bless Us Every One," the spirits of Scrooge's mother and sister appear, gazing with pride at the newly redeemed Scrooge. It's a moment that should be {{Glurge}}, but it manages to be heartwarming and a tearjerker, because it feels so very earned.

* HoYay: Scrooge and Marley already had some of this in the book, but the musical and especially the film version take it even further. Here, besides being business partners, they're genuinely good friends to the point where Scrooge seems more upset at Marley dying than his fiancée leaving him. The first thing Marley's ghost does upon appearing is burst into tears and hug his "dear, dear Scrooge," he looks nostalgic and puts a hand over his heart when talking about the Ghost of Christmas Past (who in this version shows Scrooge his partnership with Marley among other things), and his younger self does a lot of staring when Scrooge is with Emily.

** When the Ghost of Christmas Present introduces the Ignorance and Want characters, the latter is easier to take seriously than the former; we're given a closeup of the slack-jawed, cross-eyed child that undermines the dramatic effect of the scene.

* JustHereForTheFanService: A lot of people only seek the film out so they can see the "sexy" Ghost of Christmas Past.
