MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Karen This is the best animated version of this wonderful story which is essential viewing at Christmas. I love the quality of the animation and the cast is top class.I would have given this film a perfect 10 BUT for the term "Happy Holidays". Happy Holidays? The clue is in the title, "A Christmas Carol". Yes, it's a Christian themed story of redemption written by Charles Dickens. In Victorian England, where the vast majority of people were Christian, they would have said "Merry Christmas".As Mr Scrooge said,"I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A MERRY Christmas to every-body! A happy New Year to all the world! Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!"

Jenson Green OK this is an absolute terrible film what's so great about an old man who doesn't like Christmas and bullies everyone who likes Christmas its so dark my children were scared of scrooge and it only gets worse So he sees a ghost of his dead partner Marley and started screaming at scrooge and its dark Scrooge sees three ghosts the first one was absolutely disturbing with a flame dancing what an utter crap He sees a Viking gigantic looking guy who starts showing him disturbing stuff and says that his partners son tiny tim is gonna dislike what kind of disgusting person could show that in a kids film Ghost three was just sad scary disturbing dark for my kids and the ghost showed scrogges grave and scrooge just turned into a psychotic old man crying and going noooooo And the end is crap as well this film is really not child friendly

Gerardrobertson61 I have just finished reading A Christmas Carol and was keen to see how close this animated version was to the actual book. Some of the quotes are directly from the book, the ghost appear more or less as I imagined them while reading and for more parts, this was fairly close to what Dickins had written, however, the flying sequences were a little bit out of context to me. Jim Carrey was a surprise as Scrooge and carried off the voices very well. It is a dark movie and maybe a bit to scary for little kids especially when the ghost are on the screen. All in all, I did enjoy this version and will add it to my Xmas film collection.

RyeDough I first saw this movie when I was around 10, enclosed in an almost pitch- black cinema with the surround sound booming and echoing all around me (I believe I sat right beside a speaker, which didn't really help). Looking back on it now it is still a little creepy, but at the time it really scared me. Whether or not it is true to the book I cannot really say, but I am fairly certain that it is a tad more accurate than the Muppets' version. In saying this however, I must point out that the Muppets' version is a family movie. THIS IS NOT A FAMILY MOVIE. Going back to a previous statement, I am not sure how close this is to the book. If it was an exact replica of the book then there are certain aspects of the book that are just stupid, for this movie contains some really stupid scenes. Not wanting to spoil the movie for you I will not mention them, but I am sure that if you watch it you will pick them up for yourself.A word of advice for parents. If you are watching it, I would not recommend having children below 12 to accompany you. The sleepless nights aren't worth it, trust me.
