A Christmas Carol - Die Nacht vor Weihnachten (1999)
Der etwas ältere Geschäftsmann Ebenezer Scrooge lebt in London der 1840er Jahre, er ist geizig und gefühlskalt gegenüber anderen Menschen. Die Weihnachtszeit sieht er als puren Kommerz und Humbug an. Sein fleißigster Angestellter, Bob Cratchit, welcher einen schwerkranken Sohn, Tiny Tim, hat, bittet um einen freien Tag um Weihnachten mit seiner Familie zu feiern, doch Scrooge lässt ihn nur ungern gehen und bezahlt ihn dann noch für einen Tag ohne jegliche Arbeit. In der Nacht vor dem Weihnachtstag besucht ihn der Geist seines toten Geschäftspartners Jacob Marley, welcher ebenso geizig war wie Scrooge selbst es ist. Jacob Marley muss als Strafe noch im Tod schwere, endlose Ketten mit sich herumschleppen, die er sich zu seiner Lebenszeit selbst geschmiedet hat. Jacob kommt um Ebenezer zu warnen und ihm zu zeigen welche Zukunft ihm bevorstünde, wenn er sich nicht ändere.
