The "Plan 9" from Outer Space" of the "Christmas Carol" versions.
Part story part acted. Similar to the Vincent Price version with a Narrator.
You could tell the actors had fun and were very happy to be in this time-confusing low-budget movie. Some of the actors played more than one part giving if a very "slight feel" of theatre.
Don't expect special effects or CGI in this movie. They cut back to the narrative as soon as Scrooge approached the knocker on his door.
My wife has made it her mission to watch every movie version of this book. She and I agree it is the worst so far, but is it so bad it's good?

I'm an old fart that still loved this comedic teen scream. The acting was very good, not Oscar material, but fun and talented. And hey the kids are still young, who's to say there's not one in their future? Shanley Caswell and Spencer Locke were great and cute as buttons.
Josh Hutcherson made a likable leading man.
The movie itself was eclectic, space ships and time travel to ax welding prom queens. A little bit Scream, Animal House, and Back to the Future.
Cinematography was great as was a wonderful soundtrack.
Note: Yes brief nudity, and the other stuff you have to consider if young kids watch. However, the gore was limited and comedic. Your kids, but about 12-14 years old would be my cut-off.
