Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

None

Violence & Gore

Profanity

"Hell" is said once or twice, as well as "ass" but nothing worse than that.

The ghosts that visit Scrooge can be frightening in their own ways. Young children might be most frightened of Jacob Marley's ghost whose appearance is ghoulish and who wails loudly. At one point, his jaw becomes unhinged and he continues trying talking to Scrooge like that until he re-fastens his jaw.

The Ghost of Christmas Present reveals two malnourished, angry children who represent Ignorance and Want who each act savage-like and insane.

The Ghost of Christmas Present dies a somewhat disturbing death. As a clock tolls, he ages and becomes a skeleton who then fades to dust all while laughing.

The Christmas Yet to Come sequence can frighten young children.

Fear of death is a theme that runs throughout the film.
