It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

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!"

this is a Walt Disney 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. came out in 2009 with an all star voice cast in this visual treat this a high flying adventure for the whole familythis is my 120 review Jim Carey as scrooge his friend played by Gary Oldman .his character .. Bob Cratchit / Marley / Tiny Tim _i12Colin Firth ... Fred / Cary Elwes ... Portly Gentleman #1 / Dick Wilkins / Mad Fiddler Robin Wright ... Fan / Bob Hoskins Fezziwig / Old Joe and director Robert zemicks who directs this wonderful film is past films are marvels and this is another cracker of Xmas movie enjoy this movie as there is loads of new twists quiet literally on a old film JIM CARREY, as miserly Ebenizer Scrooge, looks nothing like his real self. He's a perfect Scrooge, using his voice and mannerisms to great effect, never overplaying the role as you might expect he would.as he is visited by 3 ghosts take penny pinching on a high flying adventure only to discover why he became scrooge and what the true meaning of DEC 25 this a touching exhilarating classic with the sparkle of snow and graphics to Xmas to come its near perfect blend but there is a few scary moments so keep an eye with the kids at at 1hr36mins it just right i gave this 7/10

another version of Christmas Carol. a high demonstration of motion capture. and a bet of Zemeckis. far to be good or bad movie, it is expression of ambition. the result is interesting more technical but that is not a sin. because the book's spirit is preserved. because it remains a fascinating adventure. because it has the perfect team to translate the atmosphere of a specific universe in the good manner a good work who is not perfect but useful for remind the spirit of a significant holiday. the difference by other adaptations - a too cold air. the desire to be perfect destroy pieces from the gentle poetry of original. more an adventure than a story, it is one of animations who explores each side of show definition. is it a bad idea ? I do'n know. it is only childish demonstration of the force of images from a great director.
