Not really for kids - "A Christmas Carol"
This is Disney, and animated, and therefore seems like it would be for kids. In my opinion, this movie is WAY too scary for kids. Waaayyyy too scary. The stuff with the ghosts was pretty creepy, and there were several jump out and scare you moments that even made me jump! The 3 ghosts were all weird, the ghost of Christmas past was a candle that talked...??? Why? And then the ghost of Christmas present was a big man with a loud booming voice that kind of looked like Santa Claus but then spoke about religious men and how they have failed him...??? Why? The only one that made sense was the ghost of Christmases to come, because he was a shadow that looked like the Grim Reaper. Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge was pretty wasteful because he didn't talk much (just alot of "Bah Humbug"'s and "Blast!"'s) and therefore you didn't get to see that crazy Jim Carrey that runs around making silly faces and saying funny things. Overall, I'd say it was okay... nothing to write home about. Don't take any kids unless you think they can handle ghosts, you've been warned!

Do you think I could handle it? You know how I hate scary movies.
ReplyDeleteIt was ligitimately scary in several parts, so I'd say no. Watching it at home would probably be a little better. :)
ReplyDeleteThe ghost of Chistmas present is the classical charactor he's always been in every other "Chistmas Carol" movie or story. While their charactor selection is not orginal it is at least true to the classic story.
