Utterly disappointed

I've seen quite a few A Christmas Carol screenings in my life. This is by far the worst. It has little to almost nothing in common with the original Dickens story. A lot of defining quotes from the story are missing.

For example Bob Crachit's defining quote about his son: "Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard. He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk, and blind men see." ... This one was missing.

Scrooge's: ""they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." Ghost Of Christmas Present's quote about the men of the cloth.

.... these were also mising.

At the same time, the movie was way to colorfull. Ebenezer's scenes, especially, are colorfull. They should be grey and in contrast with the light and joy of Christmas.
