Is it just my imagination, or do none of the "Christmas Carol" movies mention Scrooge's sister? In the novel it is the memory of how loving and kind Scrooge's sister was that prompts Scrooge to regret the way he has scorned his nephew all these years. Yet in the movie this point seems to get glossed over. Scrooge has a nephew, and in the end makes up with his nephew, but you don't get to see any of the reason WHY. I suppose you could argue that the dinner scene with Fred, Scrooge, and the ghost of Christmas Present is where Scrooge softens in regards to his nephew, but a lot of times that gets shortened as well.
