Will Ferrelland Ryan Reynolds are taking on a classic holiday tale.
“Clint Briggs (Reynolds) turns the tables on his ghostly host until Present finds himself reexamining his own past, present and future,” the synopsis adds. “For the first time,A Christmas Carolis told from the perspective of the ghosts in this hilarious musical twist on the classic Dickens tale.”
The official teaser for the movie showcases the silhouettes of Ferrell’s Ghost of Christmas Present and Reynolds' Clint tap-dancing over a black backdrop as snow falls around them. “It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas,” read title cards in the teaser’s opening seconds.

“Tap is new for me,” Clint tells Present as the teaser cuts to a full scene and the two marvel over their dancing skills. “It’s a very expressive medium.”
Spirited’s teaser directly referencesA Christmas Carol’s well-known storylines as it showcases Ferrell and Reynolds' multiple musical numbers, adventures across New York City, and an appearance from Spencer, whose role is yet to be revealed.
“My first save, there was this little sick kid,” Present tells Clint in an elevator, a callback toA Christmas Carol’s original characters. “What did they call him?”
“It was Tiny Tim,” Clint replies. “No. Sweet kid. One crutch,” Present says. The character continues to guess incorrect alliterative nicknames — “Little Larry,” “Micro Mike” and “Super Small Steve” — as theSpiritedteaser comes to a close.
