Did You Know?
Trivia | The producers wondered if Jim Backus could handle the singing required for this TV special. Briefly, they considered using Robert Goulet for Scrooge's singing voice. See more » |
Goofs | In the TV special, the Cratchits repeatedly wish for a Christmas tree. In 1843, when "A Christmas Carol" was published and presumably takes place, German-style Christmas trees had just been introduced to England by the royal family, and would have been unknown to working class people such as the Cratchits.
