In the Christmas Past segment, Scrooge's father going to prison and Scrooge working at the boot factory are taken from Dickens' own childhood and not from 'A Christmas Carol'.
During the opening credits a top hatted urchin picks a gentleman's pocket, stealing his pocket watch. He then passes the watch off to a long coated man standing nearby. This is an obvious nod to the Artful Dodger and Fagin from Oliver Twist - also by Dickens.
This version is based on a play that was performed in New York for a number of years before being filmed.
The character of Emily (Scrooge's former fiancée) was addressed as Belle in the book and most other adaptations. This production changed her name in order to avoid confusion with the main character from Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991) of the same name.
This version is unique in that Scrooge meets all three Christmas Ghosts in human form before meeting them as spirits. This situation is similar to the three Kansas farm workers, Miss Almira Gulch, and Professor Marvel in The Wizard of Oz (1939).
"Jacob Marley: When the clock strikes one... the Ghost of Christmas Past Ebenezer Scrooge: I prefer not to think about the past Jacob Marley: When the clock strikes two... the Ghost of Christmas Present Ebenezer Scrooge: At the present I'd like to go to bed Jacob Marley: When the clock strikes three... the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Be! Three ghosts who yet may stop you ending up like me..."
"Ebenezer Scrooge: I didn't know Cratchit had a sick child. Ghost of Christmas Present: He tried to tell you, you wouldn't listen."
