Everything poignant and evocative about Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol has been rendered flat by Disney’s latest adaptation.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 30, 2023

Morbidly dark and frighteningly realistic - almost as if Tim Burton had a hand in the design.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Christmas magic never fails to touch the heart and spirit and neither will A CHRISTMAS CAROL. God Bless Us Everyone.

Even though it is quite a loyal adaptation of the classic tale, A Christmas Carol doesn't quite manage to land as a Disney film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 6, 2019

Despite these advances in motion capture, A Christmas Carol still has some deficiencies. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2019

This film will wind up being forgotten. [Full Review in Spanish]

In the end, the only emotion generated is anger-that this is how a whole generation of kids will get their first taste of A Christmas Carol.

| Aug 22, 2019

The elegant simplicity of Dickens' novel is lost somewhere underneath the eye-popping visuals, whittled down to nothing more than a series of pixels and binary code.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2019

I know it isn't perfect but I really like it.

| Original Score: B | May 3, 2019

A chilly, cold-to-the-touch interpretation.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 29, 2018

This computerised version of A Christmas Carol automatically loses something in becoming very homogenised and, dare I say it, Americanised.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2018

This, I told myself, is going to suck. And in most ways, it does suck as fully as expected. But there are, surprisingly, a few decent points, too.

While for some there is something disconcerting about the lifeless eyes of the otherwise life like characters, it certainly lends itself to large 3D cinemas, with rubber faced characters and grand sweeping movement.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 6, 2018

If you are officially done with Halloween, and you're ready to start feeling like Christmas is right around the corner, then this movie is a must.

One cannot help but feel the same effect could have been accomplished by simply making a live action film with state-of-the-art visual effects.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 10, 2012

A remarkable and effective adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel that manages to overcome the familiarity of its source material and become something more fulfilling.

The biggest surprise is that Zemeckis, so often in thrall to his digital palette, here uses it to freshly illuminate a time-honored text.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 16, 2011

A supernatural parable of terrifying, chain-rattling spirits and mind-warping time travel, with a theme of social responsibility that extends far beyond seasonal cheer.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 30, 2011

Bah humbug: Zemeckis and Carrey screw with Scrooge.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2011

Zemeckis and Disney's collaboration brings about a cold and forgettable variation using the advent of animation and technology to destroy the magic...
