Is that really necessary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.246.35 ( talk) 08:00, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
The film is an American production of course but there are examples of US English used instead of the culturally and historically accurate UK English. Dickens' story is set in 19th century England with a set of largely English/British characters who would never have used US English. We all know the reason for this, don't we? The film's director will spout the excuse as being that American viewers would simply not understand some elements of British English and its terms etc. No excuse whatsoever in my book. UK audiences have for decades grown to understand US terms etc. If US viewers get a little confused well then, tough, let them learn that there are other versions of our common language apart the one spoken by Uncle Sam. After all, us ‘limeys’ ‘invented’ the language.
I do wish productions like this would stay faithful to their original dialogue. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.9.115.4 ( talk) 20:15, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
70.50.174.208 and LancedSoul have an edit war brewing. This is the disputed material. Neither on has said anything about why it should or shouldn't be included.

Over the past few days, there have been some disagreements between myself and 190.113.252.207 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) on how we should detail the article's plot summary. I think the previous descriptions were a little too much and we should not list every single detail as per WP:FILMPLOT. For example, at the end of the sequence with Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Past, the important part is that he returns home after snuffing out the Ghost; the means (rocketing back home), not so much. Given that, what should we do with the summary rewrites?
Rather than repeatedly get involved in a WP:EDITWAR, I'm taking this discussion here to see what others think per WP:BRD. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 21:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
