Disney's a Christmas Carol Trailer Is Here!

Disney has officially unveiled the trailer for their upcoming animated take on the classic Charles Dicken's tale of A Christmas Carol. Take a look!

A Christmas Carol, 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 3-D 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). But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take him on an eye-opening journey revealing truths Old Scrooge is reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it's too late.

In theaters November 6th, A Christmas Carol stars Jim Carrey, Cary Elwes, Bob Hoskins, Colin Firth, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright Penn, Tom Hanks and Michael J. Fox.

Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘D’ Project Revealed: A New Disney Animation Label.

Recently Guillermo Del Toro teased us with an announcement of a project relating to the letter ‘D’. Speculation ran rampant that it would be anything from a film based on DC’s character Deadman to his projected adaptation of Drood by Dan Simmons, to all sorts of other outlandish stuff.

Now we know the deal: he’s teaming up with Disney to launch a new animation label called Disney Double Dare You, which will “create new animated films full of chills and thrills for audiences of all ages.”

We don’t know too much more than the basics right now. Del Toro will be producing all films under the banner, and directing some projects. (How and when he’ll do that, considering the rich set of projects already on his plate, remains a mystery. I’m thinking clones.) He did appear via satellite at Disney’s D23 panel today to make the announcement. He says the intent of the label is to touch on the scary side of Disney, seemingly alluding to the sensation of evil and chills created by villains in classic Disney animation. But “the emphasis is on fun, and we have some great ideas already on the storyboards,” he said.

The first feature will be Trollhunters, which GDT tells Variety is based on an original story he wrote. Additionally, the Double Dare You films will be linked by “one feature that shall remain secret, but that you shall soon be very familiar with.”
