Corrected entry: In all the versions of the movie and in the book as well there is the same mistake. When the ghost of Christmas Present takes Scrooge it is 2 o'clock A.M. All the scenes are of Christmas morning and day of that year. That would be in the future. A matter of hours but still the future.
A Christmas Carol (2009)
1 corrected entry
Starring: Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Jim Carrey, Steve Valentine
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Scrooge is talking to the boy after he changed, the boy has a sled that was right by some posts, but after Scrooge gets excited because he didn't miss anything and we go back to the boy, his sled is now further away.
Ebenezer Scrooge: What do you want with me?
Jacob Marley: You will be haunted by three spirits.
Ebenezer Scrooge: I'd rather not.
Question: What did Belle mean when she said, "I release you, Ebenezer." Was that just a way of saying, "I'm breaking up with you," back in the day?
Answer: Yes. He promised to marry her and she's releasing him from that promise, as she realises he is no longer really in love with her.

Correction: The rule of what constitutes the "present" is never explained (not to mention that the ghosts are hallucinations/dreams). Christmas Present refers to this current Christmas, as opposed to next year's Christmas or last year's Christmas. No mistake.
