Seasonal greetings to you. To ring in the Advent period, I'm dreamcasting a vaunted story. 'Twas the basis for stage shows, animated projects and graphic novels. It's thoroughly synonymous with the holidays. The novella is 1843's A Christmas Carol. I'm envisioning the soon-to-be mentioned people providing vocalizations for a movie incarnation involving animation. This potential iteration of the yuletide treasure should be a traditionally-animated musical. Original songs can be intertwined with Christmas carols of yester year. The art-stylings could be sumptuous in their detailing. Unsurprisingly, Warner Bros. is my idealistic distributor. The film ought to be emotionally-impactful, appropriately gothic/melancholy, heartwarming, ultimately uplifting and joyfully triumphant.
For the dreamcast, I've assembled an assorted trove of people. In the spirit of this blog, they've partaken in theatre, comic book media and animation We'll begin by dreamcasting the duo of charity workers from the beginning of the story. We're casting Brian George and Jim Piddock, they'd be genuinely gentlemanly.
Let's proceed to the characters shadowed in the past. I've selec Candi Milo for young Scrooge. Candi can be sympathizable all while providing voices for the wretchly Ignorance/Want and a plucky Turkey Boy. Tara Strong would enact frail, genuine sweetness as Fan (Tara should double-roll as Fred's genial maid, too). We are casting Michael-Leon Wooley and Natalie Venetia Belcon as Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig 'cause they'd be picturesque as a duo of exuberant, kindly people. Olivia d'Abo would be winsomeful, heartbreaking and jaded as Belle. As a method of salting the wound, we're including the book scene with Belle's subsequent family. Michael T. Weiss, somebody with compatibility, is Belle's husband. Kath Soucie, a voicer of kids, is their children.
We've arrived at the characters presented in the present. Erica Luttrell possesses the likeability and charm to voice Fred's wife. Rachel York shall be the opinionated, matriarchal, warmhearted Emily Crachit. Grace Caroline Currey would be viable as Martha Crachit, a sweet-natured Millner's assistant. Ryan Ochoa could vocally portray Master Peter, the young man of the Crachit household. Easily, Lauren Tom can voice 19th century children as the younger Crachits.
Before the paragraphs containing casting choices for the principals, we'll address the characters shrouded in visions of the future. Dorian Harewood, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr and Robin Atkin Downes are the quartet of businessmen. I'm able to imagine them as 4 formal blokes nonchalantly chatting about an unmourned death. Andrea Martin is Mrs. Dilber, the charwoman. Similar to performers from a film I'll be writing about, Martin has the capability to portray alternate and customary versions of the character. As Old Joe, the laundress and undertaker, we have Steve Valentine, Jayne Houdyshell and Greg Ellis, who'd be veritable as a trio unscrupulous barterers.
This paragraph is going to be rather spirited. Let's cast a kickstarting apportion, Jacob Marley's Ghost. Jason Issacs maintains the capabilities to be harrowed, spectral and cautionary. As the bell tolls 1, Joanne Whalley possesses the abilities to enact the Ghost of Christmas Past's luminous, androgynous, ethereal qualities. With the bell tolling 2, Keith David has pertinence for the Ghost of Christmas Present, plus the vibrancy to be jovial and gravitased. In their own time, Dee Bradley Baker would vocally flabbergast as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come by crafting chilling, phantasmic noises.
We're in the homestretch. Ioan Gruffudd is Nephew Fred 'cause he'd be befitting, obliging and festive (he should certainly voice the bookend narrator, too). Hynden Walch has the endearablity to embody Tiny Tim, a precocious, innocently vulnerable child. Gavin Creel ought to be Bob Crachit 'cause he'd unquestionably perform the role likeably, resiliently and genuinely. Lastly, we cast the miser himself, Ebenezer Scrooge. Capably, Alfred Molina can play a person bittered by corruption and trauma. Molina's worthy of enacting the remorse and redemption. Thank you for reading. I'll be returning soon. In the meantime, "God bless us, everyone". Cheers!
