The Stingiest Man In Town
Ebenezer Scrooge, the sad, lonely miser of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, learns to appreciate the joy of Christmas in this delightful, animated family special. When Scrooge, the Stingiest Man in Town, keeps his employees, Humbug and Bob Cratchit, working on Christmas Eve, the ghost of Scrooge's former business partner warns Scrooge that he will have three chances to change his life before Christmas morning. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and of Christmas Yet To Come visit Scrooge with a frightening vision of his future. Realizing the error of his miserliness, Scrooge brings a turkey and gifts to the Cratchits' home early Christmas day. The youngest Cratchit, Tiny Tim, embraces the joyful Scrooge proclaiming, "God bless us, everyone!"
