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!

Maybe I missed warnings in other places, but if you have a little one, they may get scared by this movie. I personally thought it was a good movie- Jim Carrey does a great job and the animation is superb. However, my 4 year old spent most of the movie in my lap telling me he was scared. It is a bit of a dark movie. I know that's kind of a no-brainer considering there's ghosts that are coming to show Scrooge the err of his ways, but remember how some other tellings of this story were a little more lighthearted? (The old Mickey's Christmas Carol comes to mind...) So I would say if you have little ones around my son's age, think twice before running out to see this. Otherwise, I think it's worth it to go see.

Before I went to see this movie, I was reading reviews of how scary the movie was and how dark it was. That is what it is supposed to be, duh, it's "A Christmas Carol". Where a stingy old man is supposed to get the life scared out of him so he would change his ways. This was a great movie and I am so in love with the new 3D. The cast is amazing and bring such reality to this animation. I will be going to see it again and I never see movies twice in the theater. My 11 year old agrees. The only problem we had with the movie was the audience. People: don't bring anyone under 8 years of age to a movie theater unless the movie is a "G". They get bored, cry and scream and I don't blame them, they are too little for big movies. Get a sitter. And for you who thought this movie isn't a Christmas Classic, read the book first, maybe you'll get it then.

I took my 3 year old grandson and he loved it! It does have some scary parts in the beginning, but they weren't too scary. We definitely recommend it for everyone!! It's a great way to kick off the holiday season!

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.
