A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

48 hour ago, I had no idea this movie was evne made.I was over on YouTube, were i stumble on too it , I just checking out for others movies. As it was not a long movie . I gave it s watch last night.I thought animation was really good for time and I don't think it was bad at all.I liked the fact there was a dog in this version, I found those parts really funny and fun to watch However I felt liked the voices of the person playing seemed a little bored . When he was speaking into now and again.I am not a fan of musicals. Movies at all , I did really like any of the songs.The rest of the movie was just average 5/10

Since the story is familiar, I'll focus on what makes this version unique. It's an animated musical, which is different from anything I've seen before. I've seen animated versions of the story, and live-action musical versions, but this is the first time I've seen this particular interpretation. The songs were okay and the art was good, though the animation looked like a Saturday morning cartoon, with only a few drawings per second. I did think Scrooge's joy was effectively shown in his visits from the first two spirits, both in the vocal performance and in the art. And his conversion took place quickly--only after he got mad during the second spirit's visit was the third spirit made necessary. Also shown effectively: Bob's happiness in spite of his situation.Some of what made this different from other versions: -Scrooge's dog Debit, who provided comic relief.-Tiny Tim's visit to his father at work; Scrooge didn't know Bob had a family.-Scrooge ate at a restaurant before Marley's visit; he apparently went there a lot even though his tip was to hire a new chef.-Other spirits like Marley wanted to help those in need and couldn't.-A beggar boy who got only coals thrown at him (Bob had to retrieve those coals because they cost money) appeared as the first spirit.-Scrooge got five visits from spirits; as a boy he enjoyed the book 'Robinson Crusoe', and the character visited him as a spirit.-Tiny Tim also enjoyed the same book, and Scrooge stood behind him excited, reading right along with the boy.-The second spirit aged throughout her visit.

"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.

It is not possible to make a worse film from the classic tale. Bad animation, boring songs, no humor, no tragedy... Poor spectators. Poor Dickens!
