Title: A Christmas Carol with meaning...
Product review: Disney's 2009 version of "A Christmas Carol" brings Charles Dickens' classic to vivid life with the dramatic animation over live acting that made "Polar Express" such an entrancing visual experience. In the case of "A Christmas Carol", the effects are quite moving. Londontown never looked so forbiding in the dark, nor so cheerful on Christmas morning. The ghosts look as scary as they were meant to be; after all, "A Christmas Carol" is about motivating a stubborn old miser into better behavior. The movie effectively captures all the essential elements of the story, including the presentations by the ghosts of past, present, and future. If some scenes are a bit over the top, such as the exotic dancing at Old Fezziwig's, or Ebenezer's flying sequences, it's a bit of relief after Scrooge's unhappy confrontations with the ghosts. Jiim Carrey does a terrific job behind the animation as Scrooge. Highly recommended, as long as you like this particular style of animation.
