I have seen an awful lot of versions of A Christmas Carol, so I wasn't in a hurry to see the CG Jim Carrey version. But my mother picked it up on DVD so I watched it tonight.
Pretty standard, I have to say. I have only one thing to complain about - the Alice-in-Wonderland-shrinking-of-Scrooge by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Complete with helium voice. That was lame.
Otherwise, it was pretty faithful and the animated effects added rather than detracted from the story. In my opinion, though, (if you really want a kid friendly version) Michael Caine did it better with the Muppets.
And of course, the definitive was George C. Scott.

- I am an HR professional, perennial student, and volunteer. I read all sorts of articles on personal finance and also the travel section and plenty of books and I will tell you all about them. I still believe "if you want to get something done, you ask the busiest person". I live in Glenview, IL.
Crowdrise is about online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering and having the most fun in the world while doing it. Crowdrise is way more fun than anything else aside from being all nervous about trying to kiss a girl for the first time and her not saying something like 'you've got to be kidding me.'
