This was a good, fun film to watch with our children (8, 5 and 6mos) and it kept the kids' attention through the whole movie, but, it was not AS GOOD as I had thought and hoped it would be. It did have some scary scenes but my kids loved that! A Christmas Carol is a timeless classic that our kids will probably never know unless it comes out in a Disney or Pixar type film like this so I am glad we went to see it. It also threw in just the right amount of some funny scenes to keep it a little silly too. I am glad we went to see this. Next...Alvin and the Chipmunks and Planet 51!!!
