** Jacob Marley, in contrast to his passive and self-loathing [[Literature/AChristmasCarol original literary incarnation]], is here reinvented as a [[AdaptationPersonalityChange gleefully active participant]] in the Three Ghosts' psychodrama for Scrooge. Not content with simply delivering the Ghosts' message to Scrooge, Marley additionally opts to drag him kicking and screaming into the sky to see the damned souls, of which he will become one if he isn't quick to mend his ways. Marley later reappears at the end of the film in Scrooge's final vision of himself in Hell, and takes a great deal of pleasure in [[TheGadfly taunting Scrooge over his failures on Earth]]. He takes his crestfallen partner on a tour of the inferno and informs him that he has been selected as personal clerk to {{Satan}} himself, then watches as Scrooge is bound to the point of immobility with a massive chain. At the end of the vision, Marley refuses to help Scrooge even when he begs for it, and it's this that finally [[ScareEmStraight scares Scrooge straight]] once and for all.
** The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is, like Marley, interpreted as a far more active player than in the book. Appearing to Scrooge as the last of his guides as usual, the Ghost first takes Scrooge to his own funeral, which features all of his debtors [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing all of his debtors celebrating his death in song form]], something Scrooge even joins in with, completely misunderstanding the situation. After showing Scrooge the grieving Cratchits, the Ghost finally takes Scrooge to his own freshly-dug grave, and not satisfied with that, proceeds to physically throw him into it, dropping him to the bowels of Hell.

In the first place, it contradicts the earlier implication that greedy, ungenerous souls like Scrooge and Marley are condemned to wander the earth after death. Secondly, it goes against the "rules" of Scrooge's earlier travels through time, because instead of just observing "shadows" of the future, including himself, who can't see or hear him, his afterlife punishment happens directly to him as if he were already dead.
