Christmas-Reviewer Review Date 3/26/2018 I Have Reviewed OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. On all Christmas movies BEWARE OF FAKE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. Many reviewers have only have ONE REVIEW. When it's a POSITIVE REVIEW chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. If its a negative review then they may have a huge grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.I review them is to keep track of what "I have seen". This adaptation of A Christmas Carol has a distinctive look, created by multiple pans and zooms and by innovative, unexpected scene transitions. The visual style, which is unusually powerful, is inspired by 19th century engraved illustrations of the original story by John Leech and the pen and ink renderings by illustrator Milo Winter that graced 1930s editions of the book. The intended audience does not include young children, and the film's bleak mood and emphasis on darkness and shadows lead some to consider it the most frightening of the many dramatizations of the Dickens classicThis is a well made cartoon version of the story. Small children will be afraid. This one of the animated adaptations of the Dickens Story. Worth seeking out!

jacobjohntaylor1 This is a great movie. It has a great story line. It is very scary. It has acting. It also has great animation. 7.7 is a good rating. But this is such a great movie 7.7 is underrating it. I give it 10 out of 10. It is a great movie. See it. A Christmas carol (1951) is better. A Christmas carol (1986) is better. A Christmas carol (2009) is better. But still this a great movie. It is scarier then The Shinning. If it dose not scary you then no movie will. This is one of the best ghost stories of all time. See this movie it is great. I need more lines and I am running out of things to say. Great movie great movie great movie great movie. See it.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "A Christmas Carol" is a half-hour television special that won an Academy Award almost 45 years ago. It was directed by Richard Williams based on the famous Dickens novel and was Williams first of 2 (plus 1 honorary) Oscars before he won almost 15 years later for the special effects of "Roger Rabbit". Anyway, the animation here looks even older than this film is in my opinion. But that is not a negative criticism. It's very subjective if you like the style. There is absolutely nothing wrong though with the action. You can't go wrong with Dickens' story. lots of heart in here and some drama occasionally as well as the old miser become a nice person in the end. I am surprised this won an Oscar as I thought television productions were only Emmy eligible. Anyway, solid little movie and I recommend it overall.

berjohn12 This is the best animated version of the hoary old Dickens tale ever brought to the screen. This is no assembly-line cartoon; this is a Victorian lithograph brought to life. Splendid artwork, dizzying camera angles, magnificent and painstaking animation at its best. There are master craftsmen at work here; no shortcuts or sloppy work. The only criticism I could make of it is that it's too short. I sure wish that Santa had given them an unlimited budget to work with. Probably not suitable for younger children, as some of the images are a little terrifying (the children under the robe of the second spirit send chills up my spine every time I see it). I first saw it on PBS back in 1972, I think, and it has haunted me ever since. I was fortunate enough to find a copy on eBay, and it was as good as I had remembered from 30 years back. It's a rotten shame that it's been neglected by the networks ("A Christmas Story" and "Miracle on 34th Street" are great films, but they flog them to death every Christmas). If you want to get in the Christmas spirit, do yourself a favor and beg, borrow or steal a copy of this film.
