Hardly a Christmas goes by without at least one new screen version of the classic Dickens tale A Christmas Carol, and 2022 is no different.

We’ve already seen Spirited, a modern reimagining starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds on Apple TV+, and now – not to be outdone by its streaming rival – Netflix has released a new animated musical version titled Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.

The film is actually based on the previous 1970 version starring Albert Finney as Ebenezer Scrooge, which featured several songs written by Academy Award winner Leslie Bricusse – and all those songs are also heard in the new film, sung by a star-studded cast that includes Luke Evans, Jessie Buckley, and Johnny Flynn.

The soundtrack is released digitally on Friday 2nd December – the same day the film arrives on Netflix – with a CD version expected to follow not long afterward.

The Scrooge: A Christmas Carol soundtrack is available to buy now, and you can find the full tracklisting below.
