Slow start but...
I'll admit when I first started watching this movie (actually it came on while I had the tv on for background noise) but around half way through I actually stopped working and started watching it and taped the last quarter. The ending is marvelous. a wonderful movie, except for the first 20- 25 mins a lot of the songs were catchy (still have "Santa's sooty suit" stuck in my head) overall a good movie, see it for yourself
Its amazing
See the Disney version is so Disney i love this one because of the fact its a musical i love it so much I'm lookin for soundtrack lyrics it is the best carol I've seen i love Disney i really do but this one is the Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its not boring at all it gives a warm welcome to the first timers who've never seen a Christmas carol Disney u expect it to be good personally i think Disney tries to hard so now I'm glad to see one that is just right i vote this in the top five its soooo good my favorite part is with bettina and him on the bridge and when they are singing i love that song it has great rhythm along with the song when hes in boarding school reading about robinson caruso oh i love this movie and i think every one should give it a chance before they judge it
This is a different adaptation, with a major saving grace.
I have seen every style of A Christmas Carol pretty much out there. We all know how many there are. The issues I had with this one are many. The fact that they turned it into some weird musical is a little too much for me. Whenever they opened their mouths to sing, I'd get out my phone and distract myself because the songs are awful. To be honest, all these numb songs are my major complaint. The reason it's huge, is because of the sheer volume with these numb songs. What was the film's saving grace you ask? Tim Curry. His talented voice acting as Scrooge, was both a tiny bit terrifying, and down right spot on. I have seen a lot of his voice acting and regular over the years, and he always works. But in this adaptation of a Christmas Carol, it wouldn't be worth watching without him.
Animated wonder ghost film
This adaption of A Christmas Carol is animated with some really nice artwork. Scrooge has a dog in this one which is very nice and adds some humour. He's voiced by Tim Curry, an actor who appeared in many fantasy and horror films. An ideal fun film for children, especially those kids of the 90's like me who grew up watching these styles of cartoon graphics. It's colourful and with awesome details. I love this particular film as it's cheerful and full of magic that captures what the book is all about. An uplifting merry story and has a few pleasant musical tunes, amusing scenes and tons of entertainment.
for kids. and not only
The first temptation is to define it as modest animation. And you are just wrong. Because it is a version for kids and this fact makes it just inspired adaptation, from the dog to the beautiful ghosts and the dialogues.
It has the virtue of impressive cast and it is not only about names but about the work of actors , Tim Curry and Woopy Goldberg being the most easy good examples.
A charming animation- the fair definition of it, nostalgia source for children of 1990 decade and smart crafted adaptation .
Indeed, nothing new , in essence but good kick for discover , for young readers, Robinson Crusoe or the facts of king Arthur.
So, little more than pleasant. And not exactly so...modest.
