Fabulous in 3D, wonderfully animated, with much-improved motion capture and facial expressions over Zemeckis' previous "Polar Express" and "Beowulf," this "Christmas Carol" is a scary delight. With much more emphasis on the horrors to come if he does not mend his ways than many renderings of this oft-told tale, this Scrooge is as nasty as his impending fate. I loved the characterizations, Jim Carrey's amazing work (he plays eight characters), and the tour de force animation, reveling in flights and swoops that would be impossible for a mere camera. It's literally great fun for the whole fam damly.Rated PG. 96 minutes.
