7/10
This may be my all time favorite depiction of the ghosts
21 December 2022
Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (2022) is a movie my daughter and I recently watched on Netflix. The storyline follows the Charles Dickens tale as Scrooge learns the errors of his way, how he got here and what he can do to change them...if he gets a chance to change them.

This picture is directed by Stephen Donnelly (Lost in the Oz) and contains the voices of Luke Evans (Dracula Untold), Olivia Colman (The Lobster), Jonathan Pryce (Tomorrow Never Dies), Johnny Flynn (The Outfit) and James Cosmo (Beaveheart).

The animation in this is outstanding and this may be my all time favorite depiction of the ghosts. The ghosts are unique and so are the way their powers work. Luke Evans voice felt a little young for Scrooge but his accent worked. The depiction of Bob Cratchet, his family, their home and lifestyle was good. The dialogue is well written and Cratchet's wife was hilarious. The ending resolve was perfect as always.

Overall, this is a worthwhile addition the the animated holiday film genre. I would score this a 7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
