Ebenezer Scrooge begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk and his cheery nephew.

Mary’s Review – I truly loved this old time favorite. I really never thought of it as one of my favorites. Actually I rather think of it as so-so and a bit boring. Well not this version. It was fantastic in my eyes and the animation was the best I have ever seen. The movie, based on the novel, was very dark and a little scary at times. That to me is what made it so great! We went and watched it in 3-d. Wow was that expensive! I try to go to matinees as much as possible especially because they charge more for 3-d.With the 4 of us in the evening it ran 54.00! Can you believe that? We used to be able to go to a concert at Winterland for 10.00 a piece! Well if that doesn’t age me! Anyway I recommend going to the regular screening or if you want to see it in 3-d (which I recommend) please go to a matinee. Don’t pay such outrages prices. I will very happily give this movie 3 nachos and a jalapeno
