The film beg[展開(kāi)]
The film begins with a live-action sequence set in Boston in 1857, the site of a live reading by renowned novelist Dickens. As he begins his 'story of ghosts' a woman in the audience screams because she has seen a mouse and Dickens oints out that this is a ro riate since his story begins with a mouse. At this oint the story turns into the animated version and Dickens ex lains that the mouse, named Gabriel, carries a glimmer of ho e amidst the glaring co-existence of rich and oor in the streets of London. Throughout the subsequent unfolding of the well-known story Gabriel acts as a miniature Greek chorus, roviding younger members of the audience with a oint of entry into the story and, in the case of the otentially frightening elements (the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future), a lace of refuge.
