MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Disney's A Christmas Carol
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.

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.
