Title: Watch the Muppet's Christmas Carol instead....
Product review: I was excited to watch this on DVD and was thinking about buying it. Glad I waited to watch it first. Honestly, they made Scrooge so grotesque, I had trouble even wanting to look at his face. Not a good way to start off a movie. And it was very morbid, very vivid and went over the top on anything that could be the least bit scary. This is a horror movie. It's great if you like that kind of thing, but I much prefer to have a little bit of Christmas cheer mixed into A Christmas Carol. Yes, the storyline does have ghosts and scary parts in all versions, but this would definitely terrify children. After about 25 minutes in, my husband begged me to please turn it off and we put on one of my favorites, The Muppet's Christmas Carol which is just brilliant, heart warming, funny, pleasant to watch and has great music as well. I recommend that one over this any day. I can't imagine even wanting to see the entire thing.
