jacob b Wait, why does the Richard Williams version of A Christmas Carol have two pages? To sing the praises of this Oscar-winning half-hour special, I'm guessing. Because this well-animated, kind-of scary 25-minute adaptation is just that good. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Best Scrooge ever. A classic. But rotten tomatoes has the wrong date. Allister Sim's Scrooge was shot in 1950 not 1972! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good movie with an excellent cast! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a sorely forgotten gem, created by Richard Williams and Chuck Jones and, actually, it was 1971. It was also just a short made for 온라인카지노추천, about 25 minutes. I was too young to recall its debut, but, throughout the 70s, it was shown in the afternoon during the holiday season. The animation is what sticks in my head, so vivid. Apparently, the primary animator, Ken Harris, adapted the look of the short on actual woodcuts used to accompany a late 19th century text of Dickens' tale, thus making this truly THE 19th century version ... so to speak. Alastair Sim, of the classic '51 British film, "Scrooge"/"A Christmas Carol" not only offers his voice to the character of Scrooge here, but plays it much more straight compared to the previous film (also, it doesn't hurt that he's much closer to the character's age, by this time). To this day, when I see this version, it's not just the visuals that draw me in, but the sound. It's as if the voices and clocks and such ... are in the room with you. I'd easily give 5 stars to this, but if I had one criticism, it'd be that it's just too incredibly short, which is a little sad, for such a beautifully dark version of Dickens.
