A Christmas Carol 2009

Though it’s one of the most adapted literary works, Disney’s A Christmas Carol delivers a uniquely daring and bold vision that emphasizes the darker aspects of the story. Yet even with the darker take, the film stays remarkably faithful to the novel; especial in regards to the dialog. In fact, this adaption includes several aspects of Dickens’ tale that are often overlooked; such as the religious undertones. However, the animation style doesn’t really work, and is inconstant in the level of depth and detail in the art design. But despite the production shortcomings, Disney’s A Christmas Carol still manages to be an incredibly compelling and imaginative telling of Charles Dickens’ immoral classic.
