A Christmas Carol (1971 film)
based on a story by Charles Dickens
Awards
Originally produced as a television special, A Christmas Carol won an Academy Award (for best animated short subject) in 1973; it remains the only film adaptation of the story to date to be so honored. However, some industry insiders were unhappy that a short originally shown on TV was awarded the Academy Award, which led to the Academy changing its policy, disqualifying any shorts that were shown on television first. This adaptation has a distinctive look, created by multiple pans and zooms and excellent scene transitions. It also was largely inspired by the original illustrations of the story.[1]
