Product Description

Capture the spirit of Christmas with this delightful animated classic! Based on one of the most beloved holiday tales of all time and featuring the voices of some of today's brightest stars, this enchanting, heartwarming film is a very merry treat the whole family can enjoy! "Bah humbug,"says Ebenezer Scrooge, the grumpy miser who would rather count his money than celebrate Christmas. But as Yuletide cheer spreads through all of London and two friendly mice try to change Scrooge's ill-tempered ways, Scrooge receives three unexpected visitorsthe Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Futurewho take him on a wild and wonderful journey and help him discover the true meaning of Christmas.

Amazon.com

This animated adaptation of Charles Dickens's Christmas classic retains the essence of the timeless tale while introducing some fresh interpretations. A celebrity cast provides voices for the roles of Scrooge (Simon Callow), Marley (Nicolas Cage), and Belle (Kate Winslet), yet the beauty of the film flows from its artistic usage of CG technology, such as the "painted" scenery of Scrooge's thoughts during his journey through Christmases Past, Present, and Future. The script honors the original story while proving that it is indeed possible to be moved to tears by a group of animated characters. Dickens purists may argue that few movie versions of A Christmas Carol can compete with Alastair Sim's 1951 rendition, or George C. Scott's 1984 remake, yet this film does not need to supplant, but rather complement, such predecessors. It is an especially good choice for young viewers who may find the black-and-white version too scary. (Ages 5 and older) --Lynn Gibson

Great Movie

December 21, 2012

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Fantastic version of A Christmas Carol. The music by Kate Winslet and Charlotte Church really make the movie. Watch it for this alone if nothing else. Recommended for kids and adults both in this cartoon format. Personally, I think this version is better than the Disney version with Jim Carrey.

Great Voice Cast, Great Kate Winslet's Song & Poor Animation

November 5, 2004

Format: VHS TapeVerified Purchase

Yet another 'Carol' has traditional 2-D animations with great voice cast -- Simon Callow, Kate Winslet, Jane Horrocks, Nicholas Cage, Rhys Ifans, Micheal Gambon, and Juliet Stevenson. You also have a chance to listen to Kate's sister Beth Wislet's voice (who can be seen in a film 'Bodywork') and plus, you hear beautiful songs by Welsh singer Charlotte Church and Kate Winslet herself! And Ms Winslet is very good at that.

So, you ask, why 2 stars? OK, listen up, please. The story is a famous one, so you don't need my summery. And Scrooge is anyway going to be a good guy. But the process is the point, or the life of the story, and the film misses it very wide.

In fact, Scrooge (Simon Callow) in the first act is totally a bad guy here, feeding a mice, giving a chunk of cheese. After showing another side of him, the film is very slow in establishing his character, which should be more simple. To make it worse, Scrooge. out of the window, throws a jug of cold water (and it's winter) upon the chorus group on the street singing, among which you see the face of Tiny Tim, poor boy, drenched to the skin. And ... sorry if I'm wrong, but -- Did Dickens write that way?

There are many, many, unnecessary addtions and changes, which I do not introduce here. The real problem is, however, the animation itself. Jimmy T. Murakami is best known for 'When the Wind Blows' a quiet but very unnerving animated film about two elderly man and wife, who too innocently follows the government guidance to make a handmade shelter for the coming nuclear war. His 2-D animatiton worked at that time, but after about 14 years, it is no longer possible to grab our attention with that technique without good storyteling, character, or original designs. This 'Christmas Carol' has none of them, just making itself look like a Cliff Note of animation.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but as to this eternal classc, there are better choices out there, Alastair Simm or the Muppets (with Michael Caine, and the film is good), so why not them? The only good thing I could find about this version is Kate Winslet's wonderful yuletide song, which deserves more attention.

[VHS VERSION] lacks the opening and ending live-action sections in which Simon Callow plays Charles Dickens himself, touring in Boston, America, in 1867 (Dickens's celebrated reading performance in mind). If you want to see everything of this film, DVD is a better choice.

If you think Charles Dickens needs a poor re-write - then you'll love this version...

December 30, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Yeah, I'm a big Charles Dickens/Christmas Carol fan - but this re-imagining ("rewrite") smacks of hubris on the parts of everyone - from the treacly pop songs, to the histrionic plot additions of Scrooge CAUSING Tiny Tim's illness, and holding the loan on his ex-girlfriend's husband; to the dull, annoying mice who accompany Scrooge on his journey (and hold completely incomprehensible conversations in high pitched squeals), and finally, to the cheap animation which looks even flatter and less appealing than Disney Channel knock-off's, this movie is a complete misfire from the get-go. For a better choice, look up the wonderfully atmospheric Chuck Jones 1971 animated cartoon of "A Christmas Carol" on YouTube.

Love this animated version of Christmas Carol!

January 7, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I saw this movie on cable and tried to find it on Netflix but they didn't have it so I looked for it on Amazon. I was thrilled to find it! I love this animated version of the Charles Dickens classic and the music is wonderfully done. I love the video, "What If" by Kate Winslet and can watch it over and over and over and never tire of it. I was also thrilled to find the movie soundtrack on Amazon and purchased it too! Thanks for making my Christmas the merriest!

Christmas Carol Movie

February 10, 2011

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is an older version of the Christmas Carol movie and is all animated. It's a very warm hearted movie. I watch it even when it's not Christmas because it helps me want to do good to people all year round!!! The little mice that are in the movie are very endearing as well. Make sure you check who the voices are, because there is another movie out with the same title staring Jim Carey but, in my opinion is not well done at all. Kate Winslet and Simon Cowell are the main voices in this movie and their voices are perfect for the part.

Enjoy.

Horrible animation. We couldn't even sit through 10 minutes of it. I guess I was expecting "Walt Disney" quality.

A Good Adaptation

It is an adaptation of the Dickens story - - not faithful to the original but definitely faithful in theme and spirit.
