Nice production, good acting, but too bad Patrick Stewart had to retain his skinhead, which seemed out of place in Victorian England. Also they inserted some short scenes in Christmas Present that didn't contribute much except disrupt the flow of the story. So I prefer the original or the Mr. Magoo version or the George C. Scott version to this one. It was a little better than the one with Jim Carrey, which was modified (more action) due to the 3D format and characters were distorted with CGI.

A Christmas Carol with Partick Stewart and others was our favorite to date.This was the most realistice one and we rather enjoyed every moment. It was the most pleasing and touching Christmas Carol We loved every part of it. The music was wonderful and the actors were the best. This was done with perfection and grace. If you don't know which one to get and you can only afford one, pick this one. It is calming, joyful, sad, happy and teaches the meaning of the Christmas spirit. Having respect for others and caring in a responsible manner throughout the year was carefullly touched upon. This is the best one ever made. It is the most realistic and easy on the eyes and hearts for children and still gets the message across with divine ease. Love, Love, Love.

The BEST adaptations of A Christmas Carol! This story is more inline with the original Dickinson story. Despite a few phase mistakes like when Scrooge tells Bob Cratchit he'll lose his "job" if late the day after Christmas. The right word would have been "his position". Or when he tells his nephew he is a good "speaker" and should go into Parliament. He should have said he is a good "Orator". Otherwise this is the only version you should watch. The Christmas day spent with the Cratchit family is worth it alone! Outstanding! I wish that they would bring it out in Blu-Ray.

After years of trying to fond this version on TV or available online, I decided it would be easier if I owned it. Good price, quick shipping, and now I have it easily available every Christmas!
