![]() ![]() It's like some fiendish plot to turn the wealth of human drama into a demo of the world's dullest cutting-edge video game.Īny proper adaptation of A Christmas Carol has to be rooted in hardscrabble realities of mid-19th century London, a place where the poorest of the poor live in candlelit squalor, isolated by the miserly habits of Ebenezer Scrooge and society at large. The technology theoretically gives Zemeckis control over every last pixel, without the threat of actors, camera crews or simple gravity rearranging the zeros and ones in a more spontaneous way, but mostly it results in the awkward integration of photorealistic figures into all-digital environs. Disney's A Christmas Carol - poor Charles Dickens loses attribution to the Mouse, and with cause - marks director Robert Zemeckis' third foray into motion-capture animation, after The Polar Express and the decidedly non-holidayish Beowulf. ![]()
