“Disney’s A Christmas Carol” World Premiere in London

November 3rd was the World Premiere in London of “Disney’s A Christmas Carol”. Stars such as Jim Carrey and his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy were there, as well as plenty of people in gorgeous costumes. From the pictures, it looks like everyone had an amazing time. The square in London where the premiere was held was decked out! Here’s a picture from the scene in London.

Not only did the premiere goers get to see the movie, but there was a performance by Andrea Bocelli and a choir. In one of the pictures, you can see that Jim Carrey decided to get in on the action and sing with the choir.

I love this quote by Robert Zemeckis, who is the Director/Producer/Screenwriter of the movie. He said: “It’s as if Charles Dickens wrote this story to be a movie—it’s so visual and cinematic.It’s the greatest time-travel story ever written and I wanted to do the movie the way I believe it was originally envisioned by the author.”

I couldn’t agree more.

Disney’s A Christmas Carol, is a multi-sensory thrill ride re-envisioned by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, captures the fantastical essence of the
classic Dickens tale in a groundbreaking 3D motion picture event. Ebenezer Scrooge (JIM CARREY) begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk (GARY OLDMAN) and his cheery nephew (COLIN FIRTH). Scrooge makes it clear that he has no intention of enjoying the holiday and, as always, goes home—alone—where he encounters the ghost of his dead business partner Jacob Marley. Marley, who’s paying the price in the afterlife for his own callousness, hopes to help Scrooge avoid a similar fate and tells him that he will be visited by three spirits. But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take Old Scrooge on an eye opening journey revealing truths he’s reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it’s too late.

The film opens this weekend, November 6th. Are you planning on seeing it? More pictures from the World Premiere of “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” below.
