That night, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who had died seven years prior on Christmas Eve and is now forced to spend his afterlife carrying heavy chains forged from his own greedy ways. Marley warns Scrooge that he will suffer an even worse fate if he does not repent, and foretells that he will be haunted by three spirits that will help guide him. The first spirit is the Ghost of Christmas Past who, to Scrooge's amazement, has the form of a candle, and holds an enormous candle snuffer for a hat. He shows Scrooge visions of his own past that take place on or around the Christmas season, reminding him of how he ended up the avaricious man he is now. He had spent much of his childhood neglected by his father over the holidays at boarding school until he was finally brought home by his loving sister Fan, who died prematurely after giving birth to his nephew, Fred. Scrooge later began a successful career in business and moneylending and became engaged to a woman named Belle, though she later called off the engagement when he began to grow obsessed with accumulating his own wealth. Unable to bear having to witness these events again, Scrooge extinguishes the spirit with his hat, and accidentally rockets himself into space, only to wake up to the next spirit laughing and calling to him. The second spirit is the Ghost of Christmas Present, who is a joyous spirit in the form of a man in green robes holding a magical torch and wearing an empty sword scabbard, in the symbolism of peace on earth and good will toward men. He shows Scrooge the happiness of his fellow men on Christmas Day. Among them are his nephew, Fred, who playfully makes jokes with his family at Scrooge's expense, and Bob Cratchit and his family, who are just barely able to make do with what little pay Scrooge gives Cratchit. Scrooge is touched by the Cratchits' sickly young son, Tiny Tim, and his commitment to the spirit of Christmas, and is dismayed to learn from the spirit that he may not have much longer to live. Before dying, the spirit warns Scrooge about the evils of Ignorance and Want, which manifest themselves before Scrooge as two snarling, angry, bestial children who are condemned to grow into violent, insane individuals. Ignorance, the boy, turns into a vicious thug brandishing a butcher's knife, and then is slammed behind bars. Want, the girl, turns into a cackling hag who begins to shriek as a straightjacket appears on her. She, Ignorance, and the Ghost of Christmas Present all disappear, leaving Scrooge in the presence of The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The third and final spirit is the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come who is shown to appear to Scrooge as he morphs into his shadow. This spirit morphs into a shadow numerous times, but is also capable of popping into a three dimensional black ghost. He shows Scrooge the final consequences of his greed and even toys with him a few times (chasing him through the streets on a shadowy carriage driven by horses, occasionally cracking his whip near Scrooge as he runs, in which causes him to shrink to incredible tiny size). Scrooge sees in this future that he has died, though there is more comfort than grief in the wake of his death, the men attending his funeral only going for a free lunch. At first, Scrooge is unaware that it is himself that is dead, and is taken to his own bedroom with himself lying dead under the covers. The Ghost tries to make him peel back the covers to see himself, but Scrooge, understanding, says "I would if I could. But I haven't the power to." and the ghost mercifully takes Scrooge away to see a new image of the future. Before, it is seen that Scrooge is robbed by his former maid, and even stripped of the clothes he was buried in. Tiny Tim is also shown to have died, leaving Bob Cratchit and his family to mourn him on Christmas. As Scrooge sees this image, he realizes he could have saved Tiny Tim, and sadly asks the Ghost "Who was that man we saw lying dead?" The Ghost then takes Scrooge to a stormy graveyard and points to a tombstone. Seeing the name on the stone is his own, Scrooge is horrified and asks the Ghost desperately if this images he has seen are sure to happen or can be changed. To little response, the Ghost shows the tombstone says that Scrooge died on Christmas Day. Scrooge tries to run away, but the ground he stands on gets swallowed away and he is forced to fall into an open coffin. Just before he lands in the coffin, Scrooge awakes from supposedly a dream, and looks about to see himself hung upside down by his leg, which is tangled in a bed curtain. After running to his window, and talking to a young boy about what the date is, Scrooge tells the boy to buy an enormous turkey. When the bird arrives, Scrooge sends it to Bob Cratchit's house, without word that it was him who sent it. Later that day, Scrooge walks joyously down the street, bidding a Merry Christmas to everyone he meets. After seeing the do-gooder that was in his office the day before, and giving him an unknown but apparently extravagant amount of money to donate to the poor, he meets a group of loud carolers that he once scared, who got nearly silent at his presence. He then joins into the caroling in a loud voice and gives a coin to them. Then, he comes to his joyous nephews party and comes to dine, and the next day offer to help Bob's struggling family and give him more coal to warm himself. Bob leaves confused, as Scrooge shouts an eager "Tally Ho, Bob!" and concludes the story saying that Scrooge became a better man.

Ghost of Christmas Past, the first of the three spirits that haunt Scrooge in order to prompt him to repent. He shows Scrooge scenes from his past that occurred on or around Christmas, in order to demonstrate to him the necessity of changing his ways. He is depicted as a young, androgynous human with a waxy, candle-like body and a flickering flame for a head, who speaks in a dreamy, slow voice with an Irish accent, and sways about. Ghost of Christmas Present, the second of the three spirits, who shows Scrooge the happiness of his nephew's middle-class social circle and the impoverished Cratchit family. He is depicted as a large, jolly man with red hair, a full beard, and a green ermine robe who ages rapidly while he is with Scrooge. He has a tendency to laugh heartily, even as he dies, and carries the sins of Ignorance and Want upon his person, in the forms of horrifying, savage children. Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, the third of the three spirits, who shows Scrooge the final consequences of his lifestyle if he does not change his ways.

Not to mention doing the accents properly, the English, Irish accents [...] I want it to fly in the UK. I want it to be good and I want them to go, 'Yeah, that's for real.' We were very true to the book. It's beautiful.

(December 2010) The film received mixed to positive reviews from US film critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 55% of 169 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 5.9 out of 10. The site's general consensus is that "Robert Zemeckis' 3-D animated take on the Dickens classic tries hard, but its dazzling special effects distract from an array of fine performances from Jim Carrey and Gary Oldman."[10] Among Rotten Tomatoes' "Top Critics", which consists of popular and notable critics from the top newspapers, websites, television and radio programs, the film holds an overall approval rating of 46%, based on a sample of 28 reviews.[11] Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics, has a rating score of 55 based on 32 reviews.[12] In his review, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the movie four stars, calling it "an exhilarating visual experience".[13] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A, applauding the film as "a marvelous and touching yuletide toy of a movie".[14] Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News gave the film 3/5 stars, but claimed the film "is well-crafted but artless, detailed but lacking soul."[15] Mary Elizabeth Williams of Salon.com gave the film a mixed review claiming the movie "is a triumph of something — but it's certainly not the Christmas spirit."[16] Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal wrote in his review that the film's "tone is joyless, despite an extended passage of bizarre laughter, several dazzling flights of digital fancy, a succession of striking images and Jim Carrey's voicing of Scrooge plus half a dozen other roles. In the UK most reviewers criticised the technology, Daily Telegraph reviewer Tim Robey wrote "How much is gained by the half-real visual style for this story is open to question -- the early scenes are laborious and never quite alive, and the explosion of jollity at the end lacks the virtue of being funny".[18] Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian also criticised the technology "The hi-tech sheen is impressive, but in an unexciting way. I wanted to see real human faces convey real human emotions.".[19] Time Out London praised the film for sticking to Dickens' original dialogue but also questioned the technology by saying "To an extent, this ‘Christmas Carol’ is a case of style – and stylisation – overwhelming substance  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1067106/ />                     Sharing WidgetTrailer |
