a christmas carol

the wife and i went to see disney's animated remaking of "a christmas carol" last night. there have been scads of flavors of this classic story over the years, but this one was a fresh take and in 3-d was truly remarkable. the imagery was flat-out stunning. yes, it had a dark side, some of the ghost scenes bordered on a horror film, but the characters seemed real and believable and of course, yes, the old miser has a change of heart at the end (sorry for the spoiler). as someone who takes in at least 3 movies a year at the big screen, i can highly recommend it. leave the kids at home please, unlike some rubes sitting behind us. perhaps one of the best parts was this song "god bless us everyone" as sung by andrea bocelli at the end credits. i purchased it on itunes as soon as i got home.
