* Scrooge (post-reform) goes to the home of his nephew (the son of his late sister), Fred, and humbly requests if he can join their party for dinner...if he's still welcome that is. Fred, his wife and their guests are quite visibly surprised that Scrooge came to the party at all--especially since he right in the middle of their game of twenty questions, where they were making fun of him (which Scrooge ''did'' overhear). Everyone stares in a kind of stunned silence before all rejoicing at once and welcoming Scrooge with open arms.

** A subtle but wholly heartwarming detail in the scene: As soon as Scrooge asks his nephew if he can join, Fred, after a few seconds of bewilderment, immediately welcomes him and proceeds to introduce everyone to "''his uncle Ebenezer''". Note that before this moment, he always referred to him as "Uncle Scrooge", which was most likely due to the latter's insistence.

* The scene the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to his childhood village. This is one of the first times in the movie we see Scrooge truly happy. As the Ghost of Christmas Past notes, he is crying tears of happiness. The way Jim Carrey delivers his line "I could walk it blindfolded!" feels so genuine. It's a great scene to introduce to the audience that underneath his exterior, Scrooge is just another human soul who wants to be happy.
