Featuring the voices of Simon Callow, Kate Winslet, and Nicolas Cage, CHRISTMAS CAROL: THE MOVIE tells the unforgettable story of the meager Bob Cratchit and his cranky boss, Ebenezer Scrooge, who learns to become passionate and caring after he's visited on Christmas Eve by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.

"Christmas Carol" - An Allstar Animation It's hard to get excited about this 24-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie. The dreary presentation will not appeal to kids, and Simon Callow's shiny head will just scare the younger ones.

If you decide to go for the long haul, you'll find out it took 250 people to make the movie, and most of the animation was drawn by hand. Producer Nik Powell reckons we're coming to the end of that era in animation. Amen to that, seeing as all these animators only seem to have sludgy colours to pick from. - Almar Haflidason
