I saw Disney's A Christmas Carol tonight - The DIS Discussion Forums

Fabulous!! Sneak preview.

The graphics and 3-D are amazing.

Could be startling and frightening for little ones...however, there were many in the audience, and not a peep. Everyone was mesmerized.

Just thought I'd share.

Enjoy!

There were little ones...none cried or acted out. But, there are scenes that made me jump in my chair - we're talking ghosts and dead people and cemeteries, don't forget.

I have to say, there were quiet a few kids in the audience and there was not a peep. It really depends on the child. You would know best if your child would get upset.

I love Cratchet and Fezziwig!! Fezziwig was perfect!

Oooh! I should be seeing this on our Christmas cruise!! So excited!!

mom2boys77 · 11-06-2009, 06:45 AM

This is great to know. We're seeing it tonight at an Imax theater..can't wait!!!!!

MIGrandma · 11-06-2009, 08:12 AM

This is the 3-D movie, right? How does that work - do they give everyone glasses when you walk into the theater? I want to see it, but DH wrinkled up his nose, so I may ask my Mom if she wants to go with me.

mansionterror · 11-06-2009, 08:52 AM

Normally you will get your glasses with your tickets.

How much slapstick type humor is in it? I love the story but really don't care for Jim Carrey's style.......

Rora · 11-06-2009, 10:06 AM

Thanks for the review!! At first I didn't know if I wanted to see it but you might've convinced me!

HsvTeacher · 11-06-2009, 10:07 AM

Oh, I can't wait to see this movie! My DH wanted to see it this weekend, but I've been sick all week, so that's a no-go. I think we decided to wait until after Thanksgiving to see it.

MelanieC · 11-06-2009, 10:10 AM

I can't wait - I hope we get to see it this weekend!

Aimeedyan · 11-06-2009, 11:45 AM

Thanks for the review!

we don't go to the movies often, but sometimes a 3D movie is worth the ticket price. This may be one we see!

KAMKIM · 11-06-2009, 11:48 AM

I'm nervous about taking my kids to this, I'd hate to walk in and find out it scares the crap out of them....I'm still deciding about this one. I really want to see it though!

VillageMama · 11-06-2009, 11:53 AM

Here's a link to a review by the Detroit News' movie columnist, Tom Long. I generally respect his thoughts. He calls this movie (that I want to see!) "Creepy 3-D 'A Christmas Carol' deserves a lump of coal"...
