Just Like the Original Book!
I think it really captures the Dickens tale. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come and the ghost of Marley are very creepy, but the movie is not scary and sends a good message about Christmas being friendly, generous, and cheerful.

Great, but creepy
I thought this was a great film, but it was a little spooky. First, Marley was creepy. Second, the Ghost of Christmas Present was a little weird, especially when he showed Scrooge the two little kids. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Future was a floating blob that made disturbing wailing noises. Great film, but might scare some kids.
