Mini-Review: A Christmas Carol
This weekend I watched “A Christmas Carol” with my friend and his 7 year old daughter. It is a computer animated film based on the classic 1843 novella by Charles Dickens.
I enjoyed it more than expected. With it being computer animated and in 3D, I thought it would sanitized towards a younger audience. However, it isn’t the case. If fact, has some mildly scary moments and I wouldn’t recommend the film for younger or sensitive children.
It has good visuals, ignores political correctness, doesn’t shy away from the true meaning of Christmas, and has a clear “don’t be a scrooge” message. I think it is worth seeing.
The trailer makes the film look primarily like a mix of comedy and action. While it isn’t devoid of either, I found it to be more of a mild supernatural thriller and drama. Never-the-less, here it the trailer:
