Disney's A Christmas Carol User Reviews

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.

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!

Got bored flying over roof tops, and the Dickensonian language prevented absorbtion by some audience members. Unfortunately, I was hoping for a new version of this tale for a new time. Nope. Great 3D, but never actually saw Jim Carrey for real.

Loved it. Creative, new, scarier than hell (but my 4 and 6 year old grandsons loved it).
