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

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.
