Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
jacobjohntaylor1 This a great movie. It is retelling of classic story. This is a great fantasy film. I do not like to many family movie. But this one I like. It has great acting. It has a great story line. It has great animation. 8 is king of overrating it. But still this a great movie. I give it 6 out of 10. This a very good movie. It is kind of spooky. It is a good movie to watch night on Christmas eve. It is a very fun movie. This movie really is a must see. I do not like to many Christmas movies. But is do really like this one. See this movie. It is a great movie. It does kind stay true to the book. If you like the book A Christmas Carol you will like this movie. See it.
Rainey Dawn A great version of the story about ol' "Bah Humbug" himself, Ebenezer Scrooge. I'm sure most everyone has seen a version on film or has read A Christmas Carol so won't rehash the entire story - but to those few who might not have seen or read the story: It's a good story filled with crabby Scrooge, a poor family and 3 ghosts that haunt Scrooge.Disney's version of this tale is good. It's hard not to love Mickey Mouse and his gang. This film has become a classic and a standard film for the holidays. So if you haven't seen this version of the story then give it a try... it's got a couple of giggles but mainly Disney keeps the story as heartwarming and the original tale.10/10
MartinHafer In 1983, the Disney company was at its lowest point--or darn close. The once-great studio appeared to be very stagnant and nearing the end of its run. Little did folks realize that a rebirth was awaiting in the mid-late 1980s--with great cartoons such as "The Great Mouse Detective", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "The Little Mermaid". So, it is nice to see "Mickey's Christmas Carol"--as the artwork is just lovely and shows that the studio still had it. Because of this, it's a very impressive film--and worth seeing. Now this IS a qualified endorsement--as despite the great animation and the use of classic characters, the subject matter is dull stuff indeed. After all, there must have been about a bazillion different versions of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". In fact, to me it's like a lost opportunity where Disney COULD have achieved greatness with this cartoon but because of the overly familiar subject matter it is just 'nice'. Nice wouldn't save the studio.
FilmFreak94 This is probably one of the shortest versions of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". But for such a short run time they really do the book justice.Playing Scrooge this time is none other than Scrooge McDuck. His lowly underpaid accountant Bob Cratchit is played by Mickey Mouse and a lot of other Disney characters play a lot of other roles quite fittingly. Scrooge is visited in the night by his old partner Jacob Marley(surprisingly enough played by Goofy) who tells him he'll be visited by three spirits. These visits only last about three to five minutes each but they sum up Scrooge's transformation from greedy miser to compassionate old man really well. They don't sugarcoat it either. There are no songs sung by the characters themselves and the last visit with the Ghost of Christmas Future is pretty dark. But by the end of it the same message of being a good person and doing things for the benefit of your fellow man is shown just like any other version of the story. This version isn't very long and should entertain your kids or anyone just wanting to watch something Christmas related.
