A Christmas Carol (promoted as Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol) is a 1975 American animated musical fantasy comedy-drama film produced and distributed by DW-Go Fish Pictures, directed by Warner Bros. veteran animator Robert McKimson as his first and only feature directorial debut, along with Shaun Cove.
The film is an adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1843 classic novel of the same name, retold with anthropomorphic animals.
Proir, back in early 1940s, during her partnership deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's animation studio, Dora Wilson pitched for an animated adaptation of the novel but was shelved after the commercial failure of Wilson's first film Headin' South. In mid-1940s, Dora Wilson originally pitch to produced a 20-minute A Christmas Carol animated adaptation as a short segment for the 1947 anthology film The Christmas Tales, which unfortunately never finalized, rather replaced by TBD. Two decades later, Wilson decided to make an adaptation of A Christmas Carol into a short cartoon for the Dreamtoons series starring Joey Kangaroo, before switched it into a stand-alone feature film despite Joey remaining as the film's narrator.
