Disney's Christmas Carol Train Tour

We were lucky to catch Disney’s Christmas Carol Train Tour in Williams, Arizona, do so when it comes your way. It is an interactive 40-city train tour including a 3D sneak peek of film footage from the upcoming movie “Disney’s A Christmas Carol. The Christmas Carol Train Tour is being launched with HP on board as the title and technology sponsor and driven by Amtrak. The tour takes about 30 minutes and is free of charge and geared to families across the country.

Among the highlights of the tour are authentic artifacts on loan from the Charles Dickens Museum of London; artwork, costumes and props from the film.

Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis captures the fantastical essence of the classic Dickens tale in a groundbreaking, performance-capture 3D motion picture event.

Quoted from the promo, "Ebeneezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey) begins the 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. Through the magic of performance-capture technology, Jim Carrey is featured as Scrooge and all of the Christmas spirits."

Robin Wright Penn

Jim Carrey plays four separate roles in this updated version of A Christmas Carol. Carrey portrays Scrooge, as well as the three ghosts (Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come).
