I won't be looking forward to this....A Christmas Carol was and is a great story, but it has been done to death...it has been done poorly and it was been done wonderfully....and everywhere in between. I just don't think another version is necessary...and on top of that I don't really care for Jim Carey.

I know watcha mean...he's kinda second class. But I loved Zemeckis The Polar Express which is a classic in my opinion, so I think this one will be excellent. But I can see where your going with an overused story.

Always a bad sign when one ego..er, sorry..I mean one 'star' plays several characters...look what happened to Eddie Murphy.
As Oz said, A Christmas Carol has been done brilliantly in the past (the Alistair Sim version is the daddy as far as I'm concerned) and spoofed ad infinitum. Don't really see the point of yet another version..motion capture or otherwise

No one will ever improve upon the Alastair Sim version; although I did like The Muppets Christmas Carol. I always intend to read the book before Christmas but never do. Our local theatre has twice had A Christmas Carol instead of a traditional pantomime and it was very successful; in fact I could happily see it every year. Excuse my ignorance, but do you guys have Christmas pantomimes in America, or is it just a traditional British thing?

I will say however as Mo did and Charlie, that the one with Alistair Sim is the best version bar none.

It's a charming story. The Polar Express was just really charming to me. If the same can be done for A Christmas Carol, I think it's gonna be great!!
