We didn't even see it in 3D, so we're going back

From the ads, it seemed like yet another movie aiming to put the “X” back in “Xmas.” Did you find it to be otherwise?

[Hebrews 11:6]

I've always thought George C. Scott was the quintessential Scrooge.

Thanks for your ringing endorsement of this new animated version. I've seen the TV ads, and it's disconcerting to me to know it's Jim Carrey's voice, because the animated Scrooge appears to be a dead-ringer for Dick Van Dyke. Was that a problem, or is my imagination merely on overdrive?

Aw c’mon. There are two really great Scrooges in movie history. Alastair Sim was the first, George C. Scott the second. No way Jim Carrey of all people is within a country mile.

Scrooge McDuck was the best (lol, just joking)! Honestly, I am counting the days until the dvd of “Up” is released (Nov. 10). I crack up whenever I think of the fight between the two geezers (Mr. Fredrickson and Charles Muntz) — the walker, the dentures, the aches and pains :) Russell was adorable.

The greatest Scrooge of all time was Mr Magoo!!!

Not according to moviefone.com
Mr. moviefone was on Jim Vicevich radio show WTIC this morning and he said he didn’t like the digitizing of the characters and don’t bring kids under 6 or maybe 8.
