A Christmas Carol is, quite literally, a tale as old as time. Hollywood has already turned the novel into countless films, so how do you keep it fresh to entertain old and young audiences alike? You give them a pair of 3-D glasses.

This looks really cool, me and my husband want to check it out. The one made in 84 with George C. Scott is my fave of them all.
1Love this story and can't wait to see this one!
Kind of a stupid question but do theaters provide the 3D glasses or is there a special promotion that you have to pick them up somewhere before?
2yeah; this lukewarm review is kind of what I expected - I don't think the movie will be bad; I just don't think there is anything left to get out of this fantastic story.
3it really is such a shame to me that this absolutely wonderful tale has been, to me, abused and almost ruined by the incessant adaptations...
crystalm07, in my experience: the theaters usually provide you with 3-D glasses and expect you to return them on the way out.
4I'm always up for a new version of A Christmas Carol. I love Gary Oldman, so I think I'll go see this.
5I'm looking forward to seeing this!
6I'm not going to see this one... it's too much in the uncanny valley for me. These trying-to-look-realistic animated people tend to creep me out.
Also, 3D movies give me headaches, at least the 10 minute ones from Disney parks.. is the 3D technology on these new feature length films any better?
7suziryder, the 3-D technology is definitely head and shoulders above the kind of thing you see in the parks, it's incredibly well done. Though the trying-to-look-realistic animated people are still kinda creepy
8I can't wait to see this. I'm hoping that I'll be in the Christmas spirit on the way out.
9suziryder, I'm guessing the 3D you're talking about is not the same as the one Ms. Buzz is talking about. At parks, there is red-blue style glasses, and those give me headaches, too. This is in what is referred to as REAL-D 3D, the glasses are clear, much more sturdy and comfy, and they don't give you headaches. And, if you go to any AMC theater, you can recycle your 3D glasses after the show!
10I just saw Jim Carrey's, "A Christmas Carol" and it was unbelieveable! I told my wife just minutes into the film that the animation was phenomenal and it continued throughout. The film isn't for little kids, but for adults it's great. The time flew by and when the movie was over I asked my wife what she thought..her answer..."I'm speechless!" She and I loved everything about it. It has to be one of the best movies I've ever seen!
11This movie looks awesome.
