A Christmas Carol
U; 3d Animation
Dir: Robert Zemeckis
Cast: Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth

What's it about: Robert Zemeckis seems to be obsessed with making 3D animation films. After Polar Express (2004) and Beowulf (2006) he now remakes the classic Charles Dickens' holiday tale about a stingy old man named Scrooge (Carrey) and his hatred for the festive season.

Different from the numerous adaptations of the past, this one is all about using the latest wizardry and technology to make a big budget animation tale. Set in London during Christmas, the story revolves around the three ghosts who visit Scrooge and want to instill compassion and love into his cruel heart.

What's hot: Carrey seems to be a popular choice for XMas movies. He was superb as the evil Grinch who stole Christmas but as Scrooge, he takes on a totally different character.



A master of disguise, Carrey uses his voice and mannerisms to his advantage playing not just one but multiple characters with ease. The animation in the first half is remarkable especially the way the camera paints the 19th century London landscape.
