The 1938 film adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" differs from Charles Dickens' original novella in several ways, particularly in its character portrayals and narrative focus. The movie emphasizes the visual storytelling and adds a more sentimental tone, while some subplots and minor characters from the book are either omitted or condensed. Additionally, the film streamlines the story's pacing, making it more accessible for a cinematic audience, which can lead to a loss of some of the novella's depth and social commentary. Overall, while it captures the essence of the story, the film reflects the constraints and narrative style of its time.
Critically its the 1938 film followed by the 1951 film. The Disney version flows closely by use of Dickens own phraseology but there is considerable additions not in the book I.e. the hearse chase.
