A Christmas Carol

Director Robert Zemeckis makes another attempt to wow audiences with a hybrid of live action and computer animation, this time to the tale of Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. Among the quality cast lending their voices and motion to the characters are Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Carey Elwes, and Robin Wright Penn, all of whom do a fantastic job in their roles. christmas-carol-poster From a technical standpoint the 3D animation and spectacle nature of the film ranks high; unfortunately, there’s not a lot besides the hollow glitz and glimmer to make this production stand out and shine any brighter than any other previous production. Still a good family friendly option for those looking for the festive spirit but best as a matinee or maybe a rental later. A Christmas Carol is rated PG.
