so there were a few times in the movie that were cute and funny.....sad to say most of the movie was full of dark scary ugh parts that were not at all for kids... I do not know why when you put out a movie that is suppose to be fun for all ages it has to have so much ugly and scary stuff in it that your kids have nights mares over..... I have seen this movie made over several times and this was my least favorite.... I did not like the movie at all and neither did my son(8) he was ready to leave before it was even over...

I remember watching The Christmas Carol as a kid and, actually, enjoying it. Now that I've got two boys who we took to see this brilliiant adaptation, I'll never show the original after letting them watch this one. The 3-D is spectaular and the sound is excellent I would recommend this to anyone who loves the story. It is even a little scary at times. I loved it.

With so many versions of Dickens's "A Christmas Carol," including Disney's "Muppet Christmas Carol" and "Mickey's Christmas Carol," one might think that there was no need for yetanother. Even I, whose favorite author is Dickens, wondered why Disney would make another one, let alone one with Jim Carey, who I felt didn't add anything by remaking "Grinch." But curiosity moved me to see the 3-D version with my nieces and nephew. It's great! It's the truest to Dickens's story that I've seen. The only deviation was during the part with the Ghost of Christmas Future, when Scrooge shrunk and was chased by demon, ghost horses. However, Disney probably added that to lighten the mood of the final, and scariest ghost. I caught my nieces (7 & 9) laughing at the tiny Scrooge, while both of them said afterward that they were scared during the whole future scene. But the future ghost isn't much scarier than in the Muppet version, which they watch every year. Thanks, Disney, you did Dickens proud!

Awesome animation and yet stays true to the original Dickens' A Christmas Carol... Might want to see the 3D version though, the animation would make even more sense then.

I have to say it shocked me that Disney made such a movie with a DARK side to it. I have a 2 & 9 year old and thought it would be a good time for the girls. Boy was I wrong. About 45 minutes into the movie we left with my 9 year old scared to death and in tears! The movie is not family based at all and I really think it should have been rated PG-13 and I am pretty relaxed in what my girls see for the most part. I was shocked to say the least. I don not recommend this for anyone under the age of 12 or13 unless they are accustomed to scary movies. Now that being said I do want to see the movie (Without Kids) in 3-D before it leaves the theatres because the animation was UNBELIEVABLE!! The people looked real and the effects were amazing in 2-D I can't wait to see it in 3-D This review was mainly to save those with little ones the money for a movie they may have to leave mid-movie like I did because of the scare/jump factor..
