A Christmas Carol
Directed By: Robert Zemeckis
Starring: Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth
Rated: PG
1 hr. 38 min.
The classic Christmas tale by Charles Dickens is retold again through a new Disney animated feature by the director of The Polar Express.
The animation seemed to have been improved a little bit from The Polar Express, in which the people looked slightly creepy and unreal. Through motion capture, the animators have successfully caught Jim Carrey's caricatures of Ebenezer Scrooge and the three Ghosts of Christmas who visit him. Carrey is a delight in each of the characters he portrays; each character has a unique personality and a different look.
This new take on the classic tale is another brilliant retelling, and should be remembered along the lines of the version featuring George C. Scott.
Grade: A
