Excellent retelling of a familiar story.
4 von 4 finden das hilfreich This animated version of A Christmas Carol is quite close to the original version, almost too much so. I would fault the plot for not offering anything new or novel--but this is being really picky, because it's too easy to find fault with anything that is different from the original story, or fails to incorporate some wonderful and successful (in my mind) innovation. My family loves the story, and we watch each of our six or seven versions at least once every Christmas time.
The animation looked quite realistic, almost as if the animators tried too hard. Scrooge's nose was made huge, effective in making him look the miser. Many motions of the characters seemed stiff and unnatural in ways that kept saying to me that the animators were trying really, really hard to make them move like people really move. Maybe what I'm trying to say is that many efforts at realism made me conscious that they were efforts at realism; great animation would have left me unaware that it took effort. (Think how great Olympic ice skaters make their performances look like strolls in the park, but you can tell when a beginner has finished a tough move.)
Several startling scenes had me, well, startled--yes, I even shouted once or twice when I got spooked! Young children should find some of the scenes frightening (parents, be advised). I think this version did a better job than some others of illuminating Scrooge's changing heart through the course of the spirits' visits. All three spirits were well portrayed, but I do fault the Disneyesque need to show Christmas Present's corpse transform into bones and dust.
All in all, though, A Christmas Carol--this version too--reminds us in a secular way of distinctly Judeo/Christian truths, that the love of money must never trump our genuine concern for our fellow creatures (i.e., other people), that life brings tremendous joy to all, and that even the meanest, least likable, bitter, hateful curmudgeon can become whole.

Simple, BYO batteries
Seems simple to use but I was surprised that it didn't come with batteries.
