5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great animated version of a classic, February 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Christmas Carol [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I loved this version of A Christmas Carol! It has some good songs and is very enjoyable. I recommend this to all children and even most adults wouldn't mind watching this. Tim Curry is not to be missed as Scrooge! If you have any questions or comments on my review please e-mail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Animated version brings pleasant surprises, November 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Christmas Carol [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was a bit skeptical to buy this because I am not too keen on the "animated" or "musical" versions of this timeless classic. But, the all-star cast peaked my curiosity, so I decided to give it a chance. I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed it. Tim Curry is terrific as Scrooge as is Michael York as his gentle-mannered apprentice, Bob Cratchet. I was amazed at just how closely they followed the book too, including scenes that I've never seen in the film versions. The music is rememerable and catchy (although not overly seasonal) and the added character; Scrooge's dog, "Debit" (aptly titled) adds just the right amount of humor. I really recommend this for fun family holiday viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Animated Version, December 28, 1999

This review is from: A Christmas Carol [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the best of the many animated versions of the classic tale. It is also the best musical version with songs that far surpass the 1970 (Albert Finney)musical extravaganza . You will come away remembering such songs as "Santa's Sooty Suit", "Random Acts of Kindness" and "Tale about Christmas". If you like animated versions, check out the Mr. Magoo , and the Flintstone versions as well as "The Stingiest Man in town" with the voices of Tom Bosley and Walter Matthau.
