I will admit, the animation is amazing. The story follows the original story line; however, this movie take a very dark path to tell the story of Scrooge. Additionally, it has a LOT of "story filler" to pass the time. Plain and simple, I got bored. As a Christmas story, I can't see myself advertising this to my children to watch. It further perplexes me that this is a Disney film; I can't believe Disney would sign off on a film that is not necessarily for children. This is very bothersome!

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!"

An animated retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions. I really don't get why so many people hated this film it's beautiful from the inside and the outside and although it's a retelling it still has the exact same feeling as every other film that i have seen about Scrooge it's one of the greatest Christmas stories of all time and how one person can change threw out one night. Jim Carrey is simply fantastic as every incarnation of Scrooge and the same goes for Gary Oldman as well and in my humble opinion people who didn't like The Polar Express that much will not be disappointed. God bless us. Every one.

This has been one of my favourite Christmas movies since its release in 2009 and, after revisiting it again this Christmas, it's certainly still up there. I love the vibrant, warm animation and design. The Polar Express was terrific but this is on another level.Jim Carrey does an unbelievable job voicing Scrooge (young and old), and all three ghosts. The story is left pretty much untouched and adopts a classic, stripped back approach, with emphasis on the story as told by Dickens. It does have a darker tone to it, and some of the ghost scenes may be too frightening for younger viewers, but overall this is a great Christmas family film.
