Destined to be revived forever, always around Christmas, this film is a masterpiece of story-tellilng and technological brilliance: 3-D, soundtrack. Plus, Jim Carrey's portrayal of around six characters is Academy Award calibre. Too scary for little kids, as was the original Dickens--but, hey, the story is SUPPOSED to scare the h-e-l-l (literally) out of you, and replace it with the heaven within you! Works for Scrooge, for me, for anyone entertained and enlightened by this classic story now told in a classic film for all times!
