@FlyTheObserver Sometimes pple dont want to help "themselves" because they dont have any tool, any resource, any idea, any support to do it...Today´s society is really a shit, who classified pple in ages, in social positions..Someone who is over 40 yrs and lost a job its simply a man who cant be "recycled" n then turn to trash to the "labour market"...Thats fair? Why do society have turned so cruel? so insensitive to the expectations of millions of pple..This society sucks and also the system!
It wasn't credited here, but Richard Williams' son did Tiny Tim's voice when he was, I think 3 or 4. He was born in 1967 and this was released in 1971. (later) I mean he was 4 when it was released, but how old he was when he began recording his lines depends on how long it took.
@shinobiue95 Yeah, the Zemekis animated one with Jim Carrey in 3-D, like I said it's memorable visually but Jim Carrey is no Alistair Sim and that movie doesn't have the soul of the Richard Williams film and IMHO it does a mediocre job of sticking to the original Dickens novel.
Hey, this was on TV only a few times in the 1970s,. and boy it's a great version of the drama. I'd like to a modern adaptation set here in modern New England. You know, like Baz Lhurmann did for his adaptation of "Romeo & Juliet" by William Shakespeare. Now wouldn't that be something?
@shinobiue95 For me Jim Carrey mugs that movie way too much and the 3-D Christmas Carol has alot of visual razamataze to it but no heart, unlike the Richard Williams A Christmas Carol which is a true work of love.
That is the eeriest Christ Past ghost Ive ever seen portrayed. I think its great, they story is supposed to be "haunting", lol. I had a brace like that (more modern) its so the muscle wont shrivel up from inactivity :).
Nice! Other good ones are GentleWhispering and QueenOfSerene. There's so many though, you really just have to find what you enjoy best. Glad my suggestion was able to work for you though!
gosh...i wondered why the new movie of this saise : some parts may be too scary for kids, i thought that was a joke on there im 12 and the ghost in part 1 scared the bajeebers out of me
Wow, 3 year old comment... Figured I still may as well suggest that if you love that voice, you may be part of the ASMR crowd. RU-vid that and see for yourself... Very relaxing.
@ihearthidan07 Genderless, the spirit is even refered to as "it" throughout this part of the Dickens story, even though Scrooge calls it at one point "sir".
This version of the Christmas carol was criticized for it's overuse of shadows and shadow effects. Of course, they were following the original story as close as they could (albiet some parts were shorted to make it a short and not a feature film).
No. Read the book by Charles Dickens!!! The Ghost of the past christmas is male AND female, old AND young, it's a very strange spirit with white, flaming hair and so on, you know. It is a "it", androgyn!!!
Agreed, but much as described in the original book (which I do not have in front of me at the moment) - young and old, not quite male and not quite female, with the light of life shining up through his/her head.
it was available on VHS or those old large domino shaped and colored video boxes. i had one but it got screwed over a long period of time. something about losing its magnetivity or some other science junk.
The Ghost of Christmas Past is voiced by Diana Quick. She may have also voiced Belle, but that has yet to be officially confirmed. Also heard in the Past sequence is Paul Whitsun Jones as Fezziwig.
