A Brilliant Conflict

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Sweet, entertaining, and underrated are the three words I would use to describe this Christmas Carol. The story itself is so famous that I won't bother with summarizing it and I highly recommend that the eight or so people who don't know it watch this film (if you can't find a copy, it's on YouTube). While there have been animated versions before and musical versions before, this is the only version I know of that is an animated musical (if you know of any other such versions, let me know), and I think it does both of these aspects very well, especially since I had an extremely hard time getting Santa's Sooty Suit out of my brain. Likewise with the animation, which is crisp and bright without being too bright. This movie sticks pretty close to the original and the few changes it does make actually work, such as Scrooge having an equally grouchy dog and Tiny Tim accompanying his father to work. The ghosts are very good as well, especially the ghost of Christmas Future, who reminds me somewhat of the Grim Reaper. The duet between a young Scrooge and Belle is very touching and bittersweet.

48 hour ago, I had no idea this movie was evne made.I was over on YouTube, were i stumble on too it , I just checking out for others movies. As it was not a long movie . I gave it s watch last night.I thought animation was really good for time and I don't think it was bad at all.I liked the fact there was a dog in this version, I found those parts really funny and fun to watch However I felt liked the voices of the person playing seemed a little bored . When he was speaking into now and again.I am not a fan of musicals. Movies at all , I did really like any of the songs.The rest of the movie was just average 5/10

Well, I HAVE seen this version and I loved it. The animation was very well done, the music was great, and Tim Curry did a wonderful job of portraying Scrooge. I don't think that anything Disney has to offer can compare. The story in this version of course deviates from the original story, the ghost of Christmas Past is a child rather than the usual middle-aged spirit and the ghost of Christmas Present is Whoopi Goldberg with a preposterous accent. What can I say? It was made for kids to enjoy and my kids loved it and watched it again and again, as did I. Those who are purists for the story should stick with Mr Magoo. There isn't anything objectionable in this version and I'd love to see a similar treatment of David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, etc... instead of the usual crap that is on network TV

I'll admit when I first started watching this movie (actually it came on while I had the tv on for background noise) but around half way through I actually stopped working and started watching it and taped the last quarter. The ending is marvelous. a wonderful movie, except for the first 20- 25 mins a lot of the songs were catchy (still have "Santa's sooty suit" stuck in my head) overall a good movie, see it for yourself
