Esta contribución se centra en el análisis del personaje de Tiny Tim del texto de Dickens A Christmas Carol y su representación en tres películas de la posguerra: la película británica Scrooge (1951), la española Leyenda de Navidad (1947) y la italiana Nunca es demasiado tarde (1953). El análisis está realizado desde una doble perspectiva que atiende a los “disability studies” (con respecto a la representación de la enfermedad) y de “affect studies” (en referencia a la interacción entre los sujetos o in-between-ness) perspectiva que ayudará a arrojar luz sobre la perspectiva estereotipada  de la discapacidad que se advierte en las transposiciones fílmicas del relato. Il presente contributo intende soffermarsi sul personaggio di Tiny Tim del dickensiano A Christmas Carol per esaminare come sia stato rappresentato in tre film realizzati nel secondo dopoguerra: il britannico Scrooge (1951), lo spagnolo Leyenda de Navidad (1947) e l’italiano Non è mai troppo tardi (1953). L’analisi, condotta dalla doppia prospettiva dei disability studies (per quanto riguarda la rappresentazione dell’infermità) e degli affect studies (in riferimento all’interazione tra i soggetti o in-between-ness), contribuirà a fare luce sulla stereotipizzazione della disabilità che emerge nelle trasposizioni filmiche della novella.
