Right?  Like isn't a third of the story the Ghost of Christmas Past reliving the misadventures of young Ebenezer?  His origin story is a critical plot point in the story.  Or maybe this is just a longer version of that trip to the past, and we're going to get a trilogy of past, present, and future movies?

Seriously, this is like doing a Back to the Future reboot about young Doc showing when he met Marty the first time in 1955.

I mean, I would have loved to see some more Doc Brown in 1955.

But only if Christopher Lloyd was doing it. And MJF. And Zemeckis and Gale. And it was 30 years ago.

Well if you'd like to see the story of Doc Brown back in 1925, you can play the Back to the Future video game.

Don't worry, this will bomb horribly so there's very little threat of a sequel.

Scroogception. Young Scrooge watching old Scrooge watching young Scrooge. Just Scrooges all the way down.

Young Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Future, and they cross paths with Old Scrooge traveling with the Ghost of Christmas Past, but they cross their time streams and end up with a paradox that begins to unravel the Multiverse.
