The re-telling of a, what has become, classic holiday tale is often challenging given the general population's familiarity with the basic story line. Although, imagery was a bit dark at times, frightening at other times, the story came across packing a great punch. The graphics were awesome and very realistic. My 6 year old and I found ourselves reaching out to touch the snowflakes as if they were falling around us. Although some of the language (vocabulary and syntax) was a bit developed for my child, with some debriefing the basic elements of the movie as well as the essential message was grasped by her. The genius was in the animation as well as the contemporary re-telling of the story; A Christmas Carol.
