Customer Reviews

Enjoyable

Enjoyed the funny twist to the Christmas Carol story

Gumby could have done just as well

The presentation follows the formula, and the dialog follows the formula. There is nothing wrong with different interpretations of this Charles Dickens classic. Yet there is nothing unique enough to justify this version. It is just a humbug. You may be better off reading the book. This story was made as much for children as “Alice in Wonderland.” Now if they could have hired the actors to act instead of just twisted versions of their voices, we may have a good movie. If you think that cheap flashy animation will make it more palatable for children, you may want to rethink it. The presentation would have to be morphed into one of those watered-down cutesy things that Disney is noted for. This Marley looks like John Carpenter designed it. Anyway, it passes time and if it was the only version, you own then it will do. Scrooge an ill-tempered spendthrift is awakened to his social duty by three ghosts that visit him on Christmas Eve. Who will get the spirit of Christmas, and who will get the goose? (O.K. turkey) I only saw the Blu-ray version so I cannot compare. There were the standard coming attractions trouncing 3D. The DVD extras include behind-the-scenes where they took the time to put dots on actors (motion capture) yet could have just made it as well with CGI. There is a tutorial on Disney Digital 3D.
