Trivia

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 Fagan from Oliver Twist - also by Dickens.

Goofs

The image of Santa Claus wearing a red fur-lined coat is on the backdrop during the Ghost of Christmas Present's musical number. In Victorian England at this time there was no concept of the modern Santa Claus.
