A Christmas Carol

A truly magnificent piece of work from Disney.  A Christmas Carol is breathtakingly beautiful.  Its rendering of a snowy, Dickensian London has to be seen to be believed.  In 3D in feels as though you are there.  I’m sure I could feel the snowflakes!  This is not a modernised version, but stays true to the language and story of Dickens.  As a result, it is quite surprisingly scary in parts and will almost certainly be a bit too much for some younger children.  But for those that can tough it out past the frightening door knob (this was the bit that scared me most as a kid) and the bony fingers of the Ghost of Christmas Future, this will be a very rewarding film.  Destined to be a seasonal classic.  Visually, a masterpiece.
