It's simply terrible. It was like it didn't know what it wanted to be. Changed and cut out way too many major parts of the story just a little too much.
The new ending was terrible. I get that they may wanted to be different to separate it from the countless similar past remakes with their changes, so why include 3 Albert Finney songs with similar scenes alongside some new original songs & scenes? Did they run out of time to compose a few more songs in time for Christmas?
They all sounded bland compared. It lost the emotional impact of the original film musical. Any humour from the 'Thank You Very Much' song just got lost and fell flat in this partial remake.
The Pixar style animation looked a little lacklustre, plus including a soppy dog as Scooge's pet also made it feel more like a children's movie rather than a family movie. That in itself isn't really a problem, for Nickolodeon. It just felt far more Disneyfied than the Disney version. It's over Disneyfied. I'm only surprised that the dog didn't talk (it knew how to read though) 😆
One for small children, but they'd probably humbug it too. Bah!
