In a picturesque, snow-covered New Orleans during the Christmas season, all is not merry for the lovable yet mischievous Charlie Barkin (voiced by Steven Weber), his loyal friend Itchy (voiced by Dom DeLuise), and their canine companions. Carface (voiced by Ernest Borgnine), a former adversary turned ally, has reverted to his old tricks, causing trouble and chaos in the city.
However, a celestial intervention is in the works. On Christmas Eve, Carface is visited by the ghostly spirit of his former business partner, Jacob Marley (voiced by Caroll Spinney), who warns him of the impending arrival of three Christmas spirits. These spirits, in the form of Charlie's angelic friend Annabelle (voiced by Bebe Neuwirth), take Carface on a journey through time, showing him the errors of his ways and the pain he has caused to those around him.
Throughout the night, Carface encounters the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Future, each offering glimpses into his past, present, and the bleak future that awaits if he continues on his current path. Along the way, he witnesses the happiness of others during the holiday season, particularly Charlie and Itchy, who are busy spreading joy and goodwill to their fellow dogs and the people of New Orleans.
As Carface's heart softens and he begins to understand the importance of love, friendship, and selflessness, he's determined to make amends for his misdeeds. With the guidance of the three spirits and the support of his friends, he sets out to save Christmas and make it a time of forgiveness, togetherness, and transformation.
"An All Dogs Christmas Carol" is a heartwarming and entertaining animated film that captures the essence of Charles Dickens' classic story, "A Christmas Carol," with a furry twist. It reminds audiences of the power of redemption and the joy of giving during the holiday season, showcasing the enduring bond of friendship that can overcome even the darkest of hearts.
