MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Disney's A Christmas Carol
2 User reviews | Post a review


Ebenezer Scrooge begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk and his cheery nephew. But, when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take him on an eye-opening journey revealing truths Old Scrooge is reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it's too late.

There are four ghosts in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," but most movie versions have downplayed the story's pee-your-pants potential. That changes with "Disney's A Christmas Carol," a Robert Zemeckis animated movie that uses the latest 3-D and computer-graphic artistry to bring up the scare quotient in Dickens' classic story. » Read more

Ebert gave it a 4 star rating
We are going to take the family tomorrow. I've read very good reviews. The trailers look fantastic. I've seen two other movies that were 3D and I'm loving this new technology.

Leave it to Disney to Continually Ruin a Classic
Please parents, just save your money and either read to your children the Dickens' classic or throw on the 1951 Alastair Sim movie version.
