Scrooge: A Christmas Carol is a 2022 computer-animated musical fantasy comedy drama film directed by Stephen Donnelly from a screenplay by both Donnelly and the late Leslie Bricusse, adapted from the 1970 film Scrooge (for which Bricusse wrote the screenplay and composed the songs), in turn based on the novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Produced by Timeless Films, the film features the voices of Luke Evans, Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Jonathan Pryce, Johnny Flynn, James Cosmo and Trevor Dion Nicholas.

The film follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a greedy moneylender who despises Christmas and the main protagonist. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley, who warns him that he will be doomed to a similar fate if he does not change his ways. Scrooge is then visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, who show him the error of his ways and the importance of love, compassion and generosity.

The film was released on Netflix on November 18, 2022. It received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the animation, music and performances, while others criticized the film's length and lack of originality.

Here are some of the key differences between the 2022 film and the original novel:

* The film is set in a more modern day, with Scrooge being a businessman in London rather than a clerk in Victorian England.

* The film includes more songs, which are written by Leslie Bricusse, who also wrote the songs for the 1970 film.

* The film's ending is slightly different, with Scrooge becoming more of a philanthropist than in the novel.

Overall, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol is a faithful adaptation of the classic novel, with some modern updates. The film is beautifully animated, the music is catchy and the performances are strong. However, the film is a bit long and may not be as exciting for younger viewers.
