Factual error: At the beginning Scrooge is seen signing Jacob Marley's death certificate in the year 1836. English Birth, Marriage & Death certificates didn't come into being until 1837.

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Scrooge is talking to the boy after he changed, the boy has a sled that was right by some posts, but after Scrooge gets excited because he didn't miss anything and we go back to the boy, his sled is now further away.

Revealing mistake: During the scene when Scrooge is sitting in his armchair by the fire, the animation of the fire is badly looped and you can see it flickering as it finishes a cycle.

Continuity mistake: While in Scrooge's office, the businessman on the right is about to write down Scrooge's contribution in the ledger, with his pen close to the page. The next shot shows the businessman's writing hand and pen away from the ledger.

Question: What did Belle mean when she said, "I release you, Ebenezer." Was that just a way of saying, "I'm breaking up with you," back in the day?

Answer: Yes. He promised to marry her and she's releasing him from that promise, as she realises he is no longer really in love with her.
