A Christmas Carol

How comes this is not on dvd yet not seen it anywhere.

I am a professional dancer, choreographer, and designer. This production is glorious, original, delicate, sensitive, and a total surprise. To hear the book, read by Sian Phillips, as the dance accompaniment, enhanced by an original score, was sublime. This is a beautiful and wonderfully creative telling of the much abused but loved Christmas Carol. It, unlike most every other production, is not bombastic or over produced. To hear Dickens' words, and not someone's idea of what they should be, spoken by the wonderful voice of Sian Phillips, is a rare treat. Granted, it takes a minute to get into it seeing that I is completely choreographed, but trust me, it's a treat!

I was bored after the first 15 minutes. I can see how you turn the typical traditional a Christmas Carol into a modern art form, but your last message completely.

I was bored after year cardboard characters turning to life, yeah ballet or modern dances which was great but didn't say a word the mouths weren't moving.

What's going on with you guys in Hollywood can't you make better movies than this this is for people with dementia Alzheimer's.

You people should be ashamed yourself for putting crap out there in digital format don't waste the memory the ram, whatever the gigabytes save them and shove them up where the sun don't shine.

Is one of the worst adaptations of a Christmas Carol you should be disgraced you're a D minus you losers I could make a better movie than this and if I edit it it wouldn't be as long as it was it be 45 minutes. Get it you're a bunch of idiots out there in Hollywood!

So much potential and very different but fell flat. Lovely visuals but a storytelling narrative and tone to send you to sleep and Scrooge's voice wasn't much better - lacked intonation. Weird mixture of storytelling, theatre and dance where characters do not actually speak their words and only 'dance' which consisted simply of them constantly flailing their arms about and spinning around - not creative modern dance at all. How to ruin a Classic! Pretentious and boring.

Charles dickens classic tale is ultimately the greatest Christmas story ever told but this is absolute dross

I give it 2 stars purely on the premise as it's a good idea in principle but it just doesn't work. Characters with no dialogue, a switching between animation and real time actors. There's also a bizarre dance thing happening which I have no explanation of and nothing new in that department. It just ruins the classic tale. For a better version see Albert finney, Patrick Stewart, alistair sim or George c Scott's version. All much better takes and far closer to the story. As for this just avoid at all costs.
