How to Sing “A Christmas Carol”

Get Jim Carrey and Robert Zemeckis as your carolers.

Disney is going full blast with this one, staging a 40-city train tour for the movie, starting May 22, which includes a 3D sneak peek of film footage, plus a whole lot more. This is from the press release about the event:

Featuring four custom-designed vintage rail cars full of behind-the-scenes attractions, entertaining demonstrations, and fun activities, the tour will have its inaugural stop at Los Angeles’ Union Station over Memorial Day Weekend, from May 22 through May 25.  During the next 24 weeks, the train will make 40 stops in 36 states, as it travels its way across more than 16,000 miles of track.  The tour will finish at New York’s Grand Central Terminal over the weekend of Oct. 30 through Nov. 1.  This family event is for guests of all ages and is free to the public.
