A Cold Dark Christmas Carol

I realize Disney is trying to change its image, but, " A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens has such warm, wonderful memories for me that this translation, although spectacular in its effects and format--left me cold.
There is so much more soul in the one with Alastair Sims, and other remakes which stuck to a script that deals with human emotions more than special effects.
Thanks Disney, but I'll stick with the traditional versions of a great classic. Gimmicks and advanced technology will never out trump a great script which includes fully developed characters with heart and pathos even if they are computer generated!
No, I do not recommend this movie.
