Default 'Christmas Carol' hosts London lights

Disney’s A Christmas Carol Carol hosts London holiday lights


Disney’s A Christmas Carol will be theme for London’s Christmas lights
The Walt Disney Company, the US entertainment giant, has signed a deal with the City of London, Oxford Street and Regent Street to provide this year’s Christmas lights across the capital.

London Telegraph
Illuminations in the three areas will be themed around Disney’s new film version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, which will have its world premiere in London on the evening of Tuesday, November 3, when the lights will be turned on simultaneously.

The film, which stars Jim Carrey and Bob Hoskins and is directed by Back To The Future’s Robert Zemeckis, uses ground-breaking 3-D technology and is expected to be one of this Christmas’s biggest box office hits'

Boris Johnson, London’s mayor, will unveil the tie-up at the Disney Store on New York’s Fifth Avenue, which has been redecorated as 19th century London for the occasion.

The unprecedented co-ordinated move has been designed to boost visitor numbers to London over the festive season. Around 40m people visit London between November and January and between them spend £1bn.

Mr Johnson said that the Christmas Carol theme will be echoed in tie-in events across London, such as concerts and an attempt to break the world record for carol singing. “It’s going to be one of the biggest festive celebrations the capital has ever seen,” he said.
