Big "A Christmas Carol" train tour
08 May 2009    

By TNPihl (JCO Editor-In-Chief)

USA Today has published an extensive report on a train tour that will go cross country for "Disney's A Christmas Carol, starting on May 22nd in Los Angeles and ending in New York on November 1st just before the movie opens in conventional and IMAX theaters on November 6th.

A Christmas Carol


Here's what visitors will find inside the trains's four cars:

- A digital gallery of the film's characters and their design evolution; each portrait will digitally change and show how they were created.

- Artifacts from the Charles Dickens Museum in London, including a first edition of the original novel and some of the author's personal writing paraphernalia.

- A display of performance-capture technology, in which the real actors' movements and expressions are recorded and digitized, then used for animated renderings.

- Interactive games, including a face-morphing photo booth that will blend the visitor's visage with Scrooge's.


The fantasy will extend beyond the train cars, with the holiday spirit re-created with decorations, local carolers and even artificial snow. And in the parking lot: a portable theater to show early footage.
