A Christmas Carol

Well, I HAVE seen this version and I loved it. The animation was very well done, the music was great, and Tim Curry did a wonderful job of portraying Scrooge. I don't think that anything Disney has to offer can compare. The story in this version of course deviates from the original story, the ghost of Christmas Past is a child rather than the usual middle-aged spirit and the ghost of Christmas Present is Whoopi Goldberg with a preposterous accent. What can I say? It was made for kids to enjoy and my kids loved it and watched it again and again, as did I. Those who are purists for the story should stick with Mr Magoo. There isn't anything objectionable in this version and I'd love to see a similar treatment of David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, etc... instead of the usual crap that is on network TV

I'll admit when I first started watching this movie (actually it came on while I had the tv on for background noise) but around half way through I actually stopped working and started watching it and taped the last quarter. The ending is marvelous. a wonderful movie, except for the first 20- 25 mins a lot of the songs were catchy (still have "Santa's sooty suit" stuck in my head) overall a good movie, see it for yourself

"Christmas Carol" is my favorite story for the Holiday Season, and I usually enjoy checking out new adaptations of the story, but this one SUCKED!!!! I guess the real reason why I am disappointed is that the voiceovers were such a top-notch cast.

This adaption of A Christmas Carol is animated with some really nice artwork. Scrooge has a dog in this one which is very nice and adds some humour. He's voiced by Tim Curry, an actor who appeared in many fantasy and horror films. An ideal fun film for children, especially those kids of the 90's like me who grew up watching these styles of cartoon graphics. It's colourful and with awesome details. I love this particular film as it's cheerful and full of magic that captures what the book is all about. An uplifting merry story and has a few pleasant musical tunes, amusing scenes and tons of entertainment.

I have seen every style of A Christmas Carol pretty much out there. We all know how many there are. The issues I had with this one are many. The fact that they turned it into some weird musical is a little too much for me. Whenever they opened their mouths to sing, I'd get out my phone and distract myself because the songs are awful. To be honest, all these numb songs are my major complaint. The reason it's huge, is because of the sheer volume with these numb songs. What was the film's saving grace you ask? Tim Curry. His talented voice acting as Scrooge, was both a tiny bit terrifying, and down right spot on. I have seen a lot of his voice acting and regular over the years, and he always works. But in this adaptation of a Christmas Carol, it wouldn't be worth watching without him.
