I have not seen this yet but I am looking foward to it based on the good and the bad reveiws. It was too scary for a 5 year old, LOL, hey maybe you should have read the book first, of course I realize there was not much time between the book being published and the movie comming out ( only like 171 years), so maybe you could not find the time. Really though if it was scary then it must have captured the spirt ( no pun intented) of the Dickens classic which I have read every year since I was 10... I am so geeked about going to see this film with my sons and grandsons, including a 6 year old, I hope it doesn't scare the Dickens out of him... ( Pun intended) LOL...

Brwright47 I liked the Movie. It makes one look at how Scrooge is like the Rich Insurance Co's of today. Not wanting to let go of their wealth when it comes to helping out the poor and the uninsured in this Country. Scrooge is a Consevative who changes his ways and becomes a Liberal in the end! D'OOHHH!!!!!

This movie is in the middle for me. Because some parts are calm and quiet, and then all the sudden BOOM something just pops at you.

What kind of world do we live, when a company becomes rich preying on children, markets its product for children but doesn't provide a product for children? Childrens themes are used by Disney to give liberal actors a forum, since no one will see their adult films. A Christmas Carol was exgtremely disturbing!!!!Dark imagery that frightened my child and certainly was not a PG film for a child. The message that Scrooge realizes his mistakes and corrects them was deligated to approx. 5 minutes of the film. How much fiendish laughter must one endure? The only positive was the 3-D snowflakes. A real disappointment. PS What does Disney have against mothers? Most all Disney movies kill off the mother. ie. Bambi, Brother Bear, Finding Nemo, Mighty Jo Young

Do you people really think that a PG rated movie is suitable for a 5 year old? It is very clear when you look at the movie rating that there are "scary sequences" in this movie. Furthermore, this is a classic ghost story...IT SHOULD BE SCARY!!! I loved it!

DON'T waste your time or money!! Dark, Depressing and SCAREY for kids!! What's up with Disney? We got a refund if that tells you anything about this film! Not PG....by a long shot.

This was a great movie amazing graphics and animation I loved it. However, this is by far not a family film. I took my 5 year old son to it thinking with the PG rating it would be okay especially since it is a Disney film. It is very dark and scary even the 12 year old I took was questioning my parenting choices when it was over. I told my son when we left- I'm sorry mommy made a bad choice. I'm hoping I haven't scarred him, when we got home he wouldn't even sit on the couch by himself.

I took my son and we both enjoyed it so I guess that is all that counts. It usually boils down to: was it worth the 25 bucks to see it? The answer for me was yes. It is my favorite xmas story but this was probably my least favorite version. I must admit I don't like animation but you really didn't get a sense that this was. It was a good pre-christmas movie that you can take the kids too.

I am one for animation but I must say I was truly disappointed with this one. I am giving it 3 stars only b/c of the catchy animation but even that was a bit over the top at times. Unfortunatey, ths story is not fully developed as it should be. Also, you only catch a small dose of Scrooge's mean streak b/c they did not spend enough time developing his character and drawing you in. This also goes for the other characters as well, especially his apprentice and the 3 ghosts. Tiny Tim's character lacks presence and if you blink you may miss him entirely. Overall a great lack of story and character development and too much time spent on the animation effects instead.
