A Christmas Carol, movie review
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
This week we take a look at a new twist on a classic tale, “A Christmas Carol”, written by Charles Dickens. The movie is animated by using motion capture technology, which has seen some increase in recent years beginning with The Polar Express in 2004 and most recently, Beowulf in 2007. These movies are also easily adapted to 3D, which A Christmas Carol has also been released in this format as well.
The voice acting includes the talented of Jim Carrey, playing the following characters: Scrooge / Ghost of Christmas Past / Scrooge as a Young Boy / Scrooge as a Teenage Boy / Scrooge as a Young Man / Scrooge as a Middle-Aged Man / Ghost of Christmas Present / Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, as you can see he is quite busy in the movie. I must say my favorite was the Christmas Present.
Also in the cast are Colin Firth, playing Scrooge’s nephew Fred and Gary Oldman playing the characters: Bob Cratchit / Marley / Tiny Tim.
