Negative Positive
Title: A lacklustre effort
Review: Despite some handsome ink wash landscapes and cityscapes, this is a plodding low-budget adaptation. Needless to say, drastic cuts in the plot are necessary to scale Dickens's novel down to the length of a short film, but thanks to clumsy script-writing and editing, the plot is not very clear for children. There's surely a better way to initiate kids to this story.
