Disney’s A Christmas Carol – A Must See At The Holidays
From IMDB – An animated retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.

There is much universal truths for everyone in this classic Charles Dickens story.
