ABOUT THE  "Disney's A Christmas Carol," a multi-sensory thrill ride   MOVIE:     re-envisioned by Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Robert              Zemeckis, captures the fantastical essence of the classic              Dickens tale in a groundbreaking 3D motion picture event.              Ebenezer Scrooge (JIM CARREY) begins the Christmas 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.               "Disney's A Christmas Carol" opens in U.S. theaters on November              6, 2009. The film has been rated PG by the MPAA Ratings Board              for scary sequences and images.
