Okay, how can you ruin a Christmas Carol? Try to be too innovative with the classic script. Some of the additions in the 3D version including a disintegrating ghost of Christmas Present and a roller coaster ride through London's sewer system for Scrooge were great animation but superfluous and jarring. The few attempts at humor also jarred within this spooky rendition of the story. The movie is definately only for children comfortable with frightening movies. That being said, I still had to recommend this movie to my family. The 3-D animation, especially in IMAX, was astounding. It was as if you stepped into the story. Simply stunning!
