A tale that almost feels as old as time itself, one that is very much overtold. However, this 'A Christmas Carol' is a good retelling of Charles Dickens' work.

Jim Carrey isn't necessarily firing on all cylinders, but is entertaining enough as Scrooge. Gary Oldman (Bob) and Colin Firth (Fred) are welcomed members of the voice cast, also.

I quite like the tone of the film, as well as the design of the animation - which isn't amazing, some parts look like what you'd see in a video game, but it works well to set up the ambience of the London surroundings.

There's good music from... lees de rest.
