Thea Sisters' Christmas Carol - ANIMATIC SPECIAL
Project Overview
Hi everyone! I'm officially working, in collaboration with a friend of Instagram (iFireStar 14), on a fan adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" with Geronimo Stilton / Thea Sisters characters. The project is scheduled to be released this December
Charles Dickens' original book tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old notary who hates Christmas to death. He's so stingy and attached to money that he makes his employee Bob Cratchit work in inhumane conditions. On the night of Christmas Eve, Scrooge receives a visit from the fantasy of Jacob Marley, a former partner of his who died years before. The ghost carries heavy chains and trunks with him (a punishment for his greed). Marley warns Scrooge that he will receive the visit of 3 spirits, who will guide him in his past, present, and future. If he won't change his ways, he might face the same fate.
Discord is recommended for contacting one of the directors, Cartoon Low: his Discord tag is Cartoon_Low#3318

Auditions still missing to complete the project
-
Deadline is pushed to August 10th
We need more days to get all the auditions and finally start production
We're searching for a music composer who can do orchestral music (using also sleigh bells and tubular bells, since it's a Christmas special) and work closely with the other composer, Cartoon Low, who will contribute to the making of the score, composing or arranging some leitmotifs.
The chosen music composer will be free to use Cartoon Low's leitmotifs for his score and even perfect them if needed.
Only one thing: Cartoon Low uses MuseScore 3.5 to compose/arrange his leitmotifs. However, there won't be any problems as Cartoon Low saves the MIDI files of his compositions and can easily pass them to the chosen music composer through email or Discord.
Say something you think would fit
Ruby Flashyfur is the main character of this adaptation. She portrays Ebenezer Scrooge.
She hates Christmas because she only cares about her business in her clothes shop. But when she encounters the 3 ghosts of Past, Present and Future, she must choose if to change her ways or not.
I'll tell you what Christmas is! It’s just another workday, but all the other people think otherwise! And this really bugs me off!
If you give money to the poor, they will no longer be poor, right? And if the poor are no longer poor, you don’t have to raise money for them anymore. And if so, you would find yourselves out of a job. Please, girls. Don't ask me to make you lose your job. Not on Christmas Eve!
This is how the world works now, Geronimo… You work all your life to chase your dreams and make a living for it, and people want you to give everything away!
Geronimo Stilton, yes that Geronimo Stilton, portrays Bob Cratchit.
In this adaptation, he is Ruby Flashyfur's employee. He's underpaid, exploited, and abused by his employer.
Oh, g-g-good afternoon, mrs. Flashyfur.
Oh, nothing… I was just trying to, uhm… thaw out the ink.
That Cyrus… Always so full of kindness.
Cyrus Havarti is an original character created by iFireStar14 and he will portray Fred Scrooge.
In this adaptation, however, he's just a "friend" of Ruby and not a direct relative. He invites Ruby to his dinner, but his invitation gets rejected.
Ahahah, everyone recognizes you just for that. It should be your catchphrase!
By the way, Ruby… I’m going to throw a big party tomorrow night at my house.
We’re gonna have a huge dinner, with lots of goodies!I totally get that Christmas is not your favorite holiday, but this doesn’t explain why you’re so mad at everyone, even for no reason. C’mon, Ruby. Cheer up, at least once!
Hercule Poirat portrays Jacob Marley. He was Ruby's old partner in business. He died in a tragic accident years prior and, as a punishment for his greedy and selfish behavior, he has been forced to bring heavy chains and boxes with him on an endless journey. He warns Ruby that she needs to change her ways, or she might face the same fate.
Every ring of this chain symbolizes every bad action I did during my life… and it’s impossible to break them. Do you remember when I used to work all day and night in our shop, without even having lunch or dinner?
I only cared about our business and now look at me! Doomed for all eternity, keeping these heavy chains and boxes. Always traveling from place to place, without even stopping for a snack!
I came here to warn you, Ruby: if you don’t change your ways, you will die just like yours truly!
Roxie Havarti is an original character, created by iFireStar14. She portrays the Ghost of Christmas Present.
She shows Ruby how her employee Geronimo has to celebrate Christmas because of his poverty.
Come in, Ruby! I made some hot cocoa!
It comes from the heart, Ruby. It's the food of generosity, which you have long denied your fellow mice.
...because you've never given them a reason to. And yet… there are some who still find enough warmth in their hearts even for rodents like you.
Craig Brightman portrays Isabelle. He's Ruby's love interest.
He got engaged with Ruby for a while until the two broke up due to Ruby's selfishness and greed.
There is something we need to talk about… It’s been many years since I bought that little house next to the park for the honeymoon, and I always waited for you to marry me. Now, I need to know… Did you make a decision?
I have no choice. It’s much clearer now that your spirit has altered, and that you look at the world from a new perspective. Do you really think that money would make me happy?
I work better as a friend to you, rather than a boyfriend…
I’m sorry, Ruby...
Quinton Brie is an original character created by iFireStar14.
He only has two lines in the whole special!
OH GOSH! Are you ok, sir?
But you just got kicked out of her shop!
Benjamin Stilton portrays Tiny Tim. He only has one line in the whole special but he's still a very important character, as he's Geronimo's nephew.
He has Stage 3 throat cancer and, because of it, he can barely speak. Geronimo cannot afford the chemotherapy for him because of his miserable "1 dollar a week contract".
Ruby is warned by the Ghost of Christmas Present that, if she doesn't change her ways, the child will die.
*barely speaking*
Coming, Uncle! I'm coming!
Petunia Pretty Paws portrays Bob Cratchit's wife. She's 3-4 years younger than Geronimo.
In this adaptation, Geronimo and Petunia are engaged and live in the same house, but they're not married... yet.
Their nephew Benjamin is very sick and the couple cannot afford chemotherapy due to Geronimo's miserable "1 dollar a week" contract.
Geronimo! You came back just in time for dinner!
As a Christmas gift, the boss agreed to give me a small raise: 2 dollars a month! It’s not a lot, but it’s still better than before.
*cries* He was so tiny and innocent! He was our only light of hope, Geronimo! And now he’s gone!

Merry Christmas!
We’re helping the Poor Mouse Onlus at collecting some money for the poor. There are too many mice that cannot afford food, water, or clothes.
I understand, Ruby… But the problem is that some people can’t even afford our help… In all honesty, some even prefer to die.
