Little Scrooge and the Technologies of Christmas

Little Scrooge and the Technologies of ChristmasScrooge lives for the glow of the screen, not the warmth of the holidays. In a town by the Sierra Mountains, he navigates a world of 80-inch televisions, high-speed smartphones, and "space bling". With parents who are always working or texting, Scrooge has decided that technology is the only family he needs, using his father's credit card to buy his way into digital happiness. Everything glitches when an electrical overload pulls Scrooge into a "Technology Fright Night". Forget the traditional ghosts of Christmas. Scrooge is haunted by a sarcastic, giant version of his childhood toy, a hippy trucker Christmas tree, and a silent mime from a hollow future. These digital entities show him a world where his selfishness has left him isolated, and his friends, like the kind-hearted Bell and the struggling Tiny Tim, are in Peril. Featuring original songs and vivid AI-assisted illustrations, this modern reimagining of a classic tale is a hilarious, high-voltage lesson in what really matters. Scrooge must learn to use technology as a tool, not a way of life, before his own story ends in a permanent power down. Step away from the controller and discover if a Little Scrooge can find the spirit to "pick up his feet" and embrace the real world.
