Disney's A Christmas Carol Press Conference and First Look

Disney's A Christmas Carol Press Conference and First Look

DATE: MONDAY, MAY 18, 2009
LOCATION: THE CARLTON HOTEL, CANNES, FRANCE
TIME: 11:30AM
WHO: DIRECTOR ROBERT ZEMECKIS, JIM CARREY AND COLIN FIRTH

On Monday, May 18, Christmas will come to Cannes when director Robert Zemeckis (Back to The Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit), Jim Carrey (Yes Man, Horton Hears a Who!) and Colin Firth (Mamma Mia!, St Trinian's), break out the yuletide spirit early to unveil "DISNEY'S A CHRISTMAS CAROL." The spectacular event will launch seven months of global anticipation of this exciting reimagining of Charles Dickens' classic tale, which opens in theaters nationwide on November 6, 2009.

"DISNEY'S A CHRISTMAS CAROL," a multi-sensory thrill ride re-envisioned by Academy Award(R)-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). 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.
