Third Best 'A Christmas Carol' film

Advantages: Looks very Christmassy, Well Directed
Disadvantages: The people look creepy

...for those who live in a hole or have dementia, A Christmas Carol is the story of Ebonezer Scrooge (Jim Carey) and is passage by fire from twisted, grumpy, old miser who hates Christmas to the very opposite (except he stays old). After the death of Scrooge's business partner, Scrooge has got even more miserable and spiteful than ever and everyone fears and avoids him. Even his sole employee, Bob Cratchet (Gary Oldman) lives in misery, not allowed ...
...this film is so fantastic a telling, this would merely enhance the tediousness of an overly told story but the computer generated recreation and the direction of this film make it wonderful to watch. It’s directed by Robert Zemeckis, the man responsible for The Polar Express and Beowulf . He uses the same sort of 3-D capturing here that he used in those films. Basically this is a technique were he captures the movements etc. of real actors and ...

Friendship

Advantages: Teaches children caring and sharing
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

This is a wonderful DVD for children of all ages, it teaches them the joys of sharing and caring about other people. Piglet who is very small, shows that size doesn't matter when it comes to sharing and proves that he has a big heart. I loved this DVD and would watch it again and again. The DVD is broken up into short stories, so that it keeps little childrens attention which is definately an advantage, small children easily get bored if sitting ...
