A classic Charles Dickens tale is re-imagined with animals in A Christmas Carol, a new CG-animated feature film from global animation company BKN International AG. Before it arrives on home video, the pic will make its U.S theatrical debut in more than 100 venues on Saturday, November 4. The film will screen as part of distributor Kidtoon Films’ series of weekend matinees through Sunday, Nov. 26.
A Christmas Carol employs toon-shaded CG animation and an all-animal cast of characters to retell the time-honored tale of how the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge learns to embrace the spirit of Christmas. A free CD of the film’s music will be given out to kids who attend the theatrical screenings.
Genius Products, LLC, BKN’s exclusive U.S. home entertainment distributor, will release A Christmas Carol on DVD on Nov. 21. The disc will include two bonus Christmas sing-along videos and will feature unique packaging that ‘snows’ when shaken.
Future Kidtoon Films features include the CG-animated Arthur’s Missing Pal, the Strawberry Shortcake Sweet Dreams movie and My Little Pony: The Runaway Rainbow. Parents can sign up for a monthly newsletter providing information about upcoming films or access the information on Kidtoonfilms.com. Tickets for all performances can be purchased in advance at the theatre, by phone or online at www.national-amusements.com.
