Ebenezer Scrooge

Ebenezer Scrooge is about as well known as Santa Clause.  Although Santa is known for his jolly happy personality, Mr. Scrooge was known as the grumpy old man who forgot what the Christmas holiday was all about. He had become so negative over time and so wrapped up in money that he stopped enjoying life. Ebenezer Scrooge was the main character in the The Christmas Carol, a story written by Charles Dickens. The Christmas Carol is a reminder for all of us to be grateful for our blessings.

Ebenezer Scrooge 

in Charles Dickens' 1843 novel, A Christmas Carol. At the beginning of the novel, Scrooge is a cold-hearted, tight fisted, greedy man, who despises Christmas and all things which engender happiness. A quote from the book reads "The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, made his eyes red, his thin lips blue, and he spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice ..." His last name has come into the English language as a byword for miserliness and misanthropy, traits displayed by Scrooge in the exaggerated manner for which Dickens is well-known. The tale of his redemption by the three Ghosts of Christmas (Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come) has become a defining tale of the Christmas holiday. Scrooge's catchphrase, "Bah, humbug!" is often used to express disgust with many of the modern Christmas traditions.

Disney's A Christmas Carol Movie Trailer

Jim Carrey, you are a busy, busy man. First you're a gay cop in Texas, and now you're Ebenezer Scrooge in the upcoming Disney revamping of A Christmas Carol, hitting theatres well, well ahead of Christmas, November 6th. Carrey plays not only Scrooge but also all three ghosts of Christmas in all the points of the space-time continuum in the classic story of a greedy Victorian miser who discovers, in true movie-cliche form, the true meaning of Christmas. Check out the trailer. Screaming, hilarity, physical comedy...looks like all the hallmarks of a Jim Carrey movie are well in place. But does Jim Carrey-brand slapstick translate well to a Christmas movie? Will this be the next Scrooged? Or the next The Ref? Hit the comments section below and tell us what you think!
