Growing up in my home, we watched A Christmas Carol every year. I have seen many different variations in movie forms and theater plays. I would say this is by far, the best version. They were able to show how the story played out in a way that will give you chills of happiness and fright. I must say that a child around 8 to 10 years old that was sitting behind me was quite scared, so be weary of young children watching this. All and all, a great movie to watch in a time where values are overlooked. Prepare to leave the theater with a happy spirit :)
