In two short words: magnificently re-done. It has a dark feel to it that is illustrated by the madness of his dead partner Jacob Marley and the three ghosts that visit him during the night. Adults will enjoy the nostalgia evoked by the story we loved when we were kids, and will be enthralled with the new tone this version takes.
Paranormal Rating: *** = Worth it
Summary: It’s another Disney movie version of the Charles Dickens classic of the same title. Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly old man who is given the opportunity to realize his wrongs and become a better man after he is visited by ghosts. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come give Scrooge reason to turn his life around. Jim Carrey provides the voices of Scrooge and all three ghosts.

Rated PG
Release date: November 6, 2009
A Christmas Carol hit number 1 at the box office its first weekend out and is likely to do well throughout the holiday season. It stays fairly on par with the novel by Charles Dickens and the animated visuals are worth the big screen visit. Paranormal Entertainment has rated three stars for a smooth, engrossing plot and lovely animation.
