[edit] ghost of christmas future

who here besides me thinks that the ghost of the future in this adaptation looks a lot like death from ingmar bergman's the seventh seal? because i watched this 4 or 6 times recently and i noticed that the hand looked alot like the skin of death from that film. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.175.1.237 (talk) 00:37, 24 December 2006 (UTC).

I've never seen 'the seventh seal', however there's a blooper in the film. Scrooge's mother dies given him birth (the cause of his father's hatred for him), yet Scrooge has a younger sister 'Fan'. She could only be, his half-sister, perhaps this blooper could be added to the article. GoodDay 01:15, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

I just watched the movie and I can't recall any reference to Fan being his *younger* sister. 70.66.236.249 20:08, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Removed the younger sister blooper, it's only in a book version (Fan being a younger sister). [THE book version, in fact (i.e., Dickens' original). Kostaki mou 03:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)] You're correct it's not mentioned in the movie. GoodDay 00:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Scrooge does, however, refer to her as "Little Fan" in the movie. It's still a blooper: The ghost says that Scrooge's father never forgave him for his mother's death, while the scene with Fan makes it clear that he did indeed!

[edit] Not until 1970?

The article says, "The film did not attain its current popularity until about 1970, when it began to be shown on television."

Not so. I remember seeing it when I was a kid in the '50s. (1958 at the latest.)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:A reformed Scrooge discovers Christmas.png

Image:A reformed Scrooge discovers Christmas.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
