what was the first christmas carol movie

The first Christmas carol movie was "Scrooge," which was released in 1935. It was based on the Charles Dickens novel "A Christmas Carol" and starred Seymour Hicks as Ebenezer Scrooge. The movie was a huge success and is still regarded as one of the best Christmas movies of all time. Since then, there have been many other adaptations of the story, including the classic animated version from 1971 and the more recent remake with Jim Carrey in 2009.
