History WesternAnimation / ScroogeAChristmasCarol

* In ''Film/Scrooge1970'', the AscendedExtra Cratchit daughter Kathy is a CheerfulChild whose main character trait is longing for a doll she saw in the toyshop window (which of course Scrooge buys for her in the end). In this remake, she's [[AgeLift a few years older]], and becomes a feisty and sometimes irritable yet good-hearted preteen.

* CompositeCharacter: Here, the Ghosts of Christmas Present and Yet to Come are combined. After Present finishes his lesson with Scrooge, he goes through a PainfulTransformation into a skeletal figure, all the colour drains out of him, and his fairy companions become fiery demons. [[PlayedWith That being said]], it's heavily implied that the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is a completely different entity from Present, as Scrooge himself guesses.

** Several songs from Scrooge 1970 such as Happiness and Thank You Very Much are inserted in the film.

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: Downplayed as the ending is pretty similar to ''Scrooge'' and other versions, but the exact details of Bob's and Tim's ending are changed and expanded. Instead of just giving Bob a raise as well as helping get the right doctors for Tim, he makes Bob his partner and a glimpse of the future shows that he becomes a HonoraryUncle to all the Cratchit children instead of just Tim, seemingly making him an actual part of the family. It's also different from the ending of ''Scrooge'' in that, instead of going through the streets giving away presents and cancelling debts, he hosts a Christmas party at his house, to which he invites the Cratchits, Harry and Hela, and the people who owed him money, and shows them his newfound generosity there.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Some reviews point out that Scrooge is depicted here [[SilverFox a bit more handsome]] than in most adaptations. And definately more attractive than his literary counterpart, where he was given a rather unflattering description.

* AscendedExtra: One of Bob's daughters, here named Kathy, is often seen alongside Tim and the two earned some money through singing and playing music at the start of the film.

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: The film doesn't draw much attention to the fact that Harry has an Indian wife and several ethnically diverse friends at his party, despite still being set in Victorian London. [[RealityIsUnrealistic That being said]], during the Victorian era, India had been part of the commonwealth for almost four hundred years, and London was by far the most populated trade city in the world.

* AdaptationalSympathy: This has one of the most sympathetic versions of Scrooge due to his AdaptationalBackstoryChange. Unlike in previous versions where Scrooge simply hates Christmas while having grown to become greedy overtime for seemingly no reason, here he's given many logical and valid reasons for his current attitude. His hatred of Christmas stems from having to work during the holiday as a child after his father ended up in debtors prison and his sister dying in childbirth at Christmas, and his childhood is also the main reason for his greed as he desired to be financially stable in order to take care of Isabel.

''Scrooge: A Christmas Carol'' is a 2022 animated remake of ''Film/Scrooge1970'' for Creator/{{Netflix}}, and an adaption of [[Literature/AChristmasCarol the well known story]] written by Creator/CharlesDickens. It uses songs from the 1970 film mixed with some made for the film.

* AbortedArc: Early in the film, Bob Cratchit gives away a little of his earnings to street performers shortly after Scrooge had deducted his wages, with both Scrooge and Bob’s daughter showing some annoyance at this. Given that Scrooge’s father ended up in debtor’s prison due to his own foolish spending according to Scrooge, this seemed to set up a subplot where people need to be smart about how much they spend and how they can't always be generous due to having personal responsibilities. However this never happens and the moral of story remains the same.

* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Both Tiny Tim in the present and Scrooge's sister Jen in the past suffer from a chronic cough. The "death" part is subverted, though, as Jen didn't die of her illness, but in [[DeathByChildbirth childbirth]], and Tim's life is saved by Scrooge's HeelFaceTurn.
* {{Innocently Insensitive}}: Harry could be seen as this. While fussing over Scrooge’s pet dog Prudence (formerly Jacob Marley’s pet) Harry makes a rather snide comment about Marley to Prudence in front of Scrooge. While Marley was a cruel man, he was also the only friend of Scrooge who has been dead for 7 years.

** Like the 1999 version staring Patrick Steward, The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come’s eyes are visible.
** Like the 2009 version starring Jim Carrey, The Ghost of Christmas Past has a candle like appearance. The Ghost of Christmas Present clutches his heart in pain during his final moments. The difference is that the ghost in that version slowly turns into a skeleton before disintegrating. This one has the ghost transforming into Yet to Come itself. Marley’s ghost has coins for his eyes. Similar to how in the opening of the 2009 film, coins are placed on his eyes when Marley is laid to rest.

** The Nephew’s wife is named Hela. She and Harry’s last name is Huffman.

* YouMustBeCold: A platonic version: in the flashback to Scrooge's childhood, young Ebenezer gives his sister Jen his own jacket when, due to their poverty, she comes to visit him in a short-sleeved dress in winter while sick with a bad [[IncurableCoughOfDeath cough.]]

** The Nephew’s wife is named Hela

** Like the 1935 version staring Seymour Hicks, Isabel (Belle in the 1935 film) witnesses Scrooge (and Marley in this version) being merciless to his/their clients who are in debt.
