I don’t care what everyone else says, this is one of my favorite versions of the Christmas Carol. Even if the animation messes with everyone, it’s one of the most accurate retellings of the story, which anyone who read the book understands, even if they stretched some stuff. Also, for some reason the animation actually never bugged me.
The scene scrooge encountering cratchit on the steps wells up my eyes considering the context seeing the home life of his most loyal underpaid employee losing his son
This movie is how I found out that I can't watch 3D movies or else I get really bad headaches that are borderline migraines. I had to watch the Christmas Carol for a Middle School English report or something and this movie had just come out in theaters and I was really excited to see a 3D movie that didn't require red and blue paper glasses, but then halfway through my head was hurting really bad, and I didn't think it was connected but then the next 2 3D movies I went to also got a bad headache, so yeah I can't watch them, or use the 3D on the Nintendo 3DS, but the 3DS more so hurts my eyes than anything.
@@conflictbrooks My grandpa was convinced that this entire movie was live action and was surprised that "they could even find someone as old and ugly as Scrooge and force him to dance and hop around like a teenager, I would be dead after five minutes". I then showed him the Toy Story documentary to teach him what CGI is and then he was convinced that every live action movie and character was actually CGI, which he wasn't really wrong about.
“No one cares about Scrooge’s backstory. We all just want to remember the a**hole part”. Actually, Scrooge having a dynamic backstory is a big part of what makes him a rounded character who is capable of change, rather than just a villain archetype. THAT’S KIND OF THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS STORY.
This story is one of my favorite Christmas stories. But my god, I can't be the only one who was scared of this movie version. As a kid it terrified me. Still does as an adult.
I watched this movie for the first time today and I must say the "Ghost of Christmas Present's deterioration" scene is probably my favorite part of that movie.
Wouldve made a good "agatha christie christmas edition" style video game... You know, like a bonus game on a sampler video game... Do you guys even get sample game cds with the game consul these days?
Though I have to admit the scene where Ebenezer is on the stairwell and watches the family and Bob walking up the stairs only to stop right in front of Ebenezer where he has to bare witness to the pain he is going through was a strong moment .
“No one cares about Scrooge’s backstory” Do you even like A Christmas Carol? That’s a huge part of the story. That’s like saying no one cares that Vader is Luke’s father.
perhaps but in general when people think of scrooge (if they're not thinking of donald duck's uncle) they think of the stingy bah humbug-ing old man, with almost no consideration for his backstory and very little for his redemption.
@@PanSpaceman The Reginald Owen version in 1938 sucked. I judge all versions against the Alistair Sim version of 1952, where the backstory was everything to show decline/redemption...
Igor Schmidlapp Agreed. Any version where he shows up at Cratchit’s house is an automatic fail. Well, I mean, I have a soft spot for Mickey’s Christmas Carol because nostalgia and because it isn’t even bothering to stay on canon, it’s a Disney cartoon so expectations are low for lore and it’s for kids anyway. But yeah, my favorite is the Patrick Stewart one. Not the most popular but I like their approach to it and the general lack of musical numbers (ugh) outside of people enjoying music in the ways that people actually do.
i mean its sort of the whole point of the story, understanding that Scrooge was once a young happy and kind man. and for Scrooge himself to be reminded of the joy he can have in his life if he lets people in, as well as helping others in need. this review in general is BS.
I was like 7 when this movie came out and I can attest to the fact that my family had to sit down all of us younger kids and discuss the movie bc it scared us so badly. lol
Just watch the Muppet version. Its narrative, acting and basically everything is flawless & much less creepy looking. This Scrooge looks almost cartoonish.
This movie looks fantastic in 3D. They utilised the technology beautifully. Also say what you want about how many times this story has been retold. There aren't many people in history that have written something so influential that almost 2 hundred years later the story is still being told
This is firmly my favourite adaptation of A Christmas Carol. It's very faithful to the original story, while adding enough unique elements to justify its existence. I don't understand the criticism that it receives.
pacing was god awful, some scenes are completely unnecessary like the weird dancing part that makes an otherwise fairly grounded movie feel like a cartoon, the ghost of Christmas past's voice is grading as hell. I don't hate this movie, but I don't think it's all that great. I mean I don't think A Christmas Carol is that interesting of a story to begin with so to that end this movie does a decent job.
It can't be lion king 2019 . If he said live action 2019 is totally dumb ( can't said vague words ) , we strongly disliked 2019 movie or recent live action is ******** ( can't said vague words . ) , then you're are right . If I was wrong , I will apologise you .
This movie is amazing in every way. Probably the most accurate retelling of the classic story. The CGI is top notch and doesn't look like it's a decade old. The acting is fantastic - Jim Carrey excels in every single roll. With all of that said, I appreciate your comedic interpretation! Very fun. Thanks
Personally I don't care about what anyone says because I love this movie so much, every single time I see it I'm reminded of the book which I've actually read quite a number of times and I've come to love it as much as the film. The only 2 versions of A Christmas Carol I've ever seen and known are Disney's A Christmas Carol and The Muppet Christmas Carol and I love them both so much, one of the main reasons is because they both star 2 of my favorite actors as Ebenezer Scrooge, you can never go wrong with either Michael Caine or Jim Carrey. I'll be watching this film for the rest of my life along with the Muppet one whether it's Christmas or not, I can garuntee that.
@@gabrielmujica3201 that is all he does, he creates a story out loud that isn't related and sins the movie for his thought he had...he is impossible to like or hate, he is in equivalent to eating a bowl of ice cream while having to go to the restroom/bathroom/having to take a piss
one of my favorite things in the world is "A Christmas Carol", i absolutely LOVE this story. i look forward to watching as many versions as i can every single year and i never tire of them. this version i avoided for a good couple years because frankly im not a big Jim Carey fan and expected it to fully be awful. when i finally gave it a chance and watched it i was very pleasantly surprised, i found it to be pretty good and to look great. my only real complaint with it were there were a few dumb slapstick scenes thrown in i could have done without. personally i do not get all the uncanny valley effect complaints, i thought it looked great.
It was written more as a ghost story than a Christmas story. It used to be customary to tell ghost stories at Christmas at the time Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol.
I think I've spent the same amount of time watching Disney logos as I have watching Geico / Progressive / State Farm commercials, and neither thing is something that I want to spend any amount of time contemplating how much time I've wasted watching them. **DING**
Okay I literally LOVE this movie! I grew up with this and it gave me trauma as a kid due to how absolutely UNSETTLING it was, yet GOD DAMN I LOVED how creepy it was! But like--seriously... This scared me BAD as a kid. (I still love it lol) The long drawn out scenes make for great tension! Like the chains being dragged just beyond the door... Yes it could have been shorter, but it would have cut down on that surprise when the unexpected ghost chains and chests were thrown at us!
2:29 I always got the feeling that Scrooge resented Fred because Fan, who Scrooge loved more than anyone and was one of the only people in the world who loved him, died giving birth to him (this is never stated in the story, but was quite common in the Victorian era). His experiences with the spirits allowed him to stop seeing Fred as the reason Fan is gone and start seeing him as a continuation of that love.
That’s why I feel like cutting her out of the Muppets adaptation was a mistake as without seeing her and the love Scrooge had for her other than his former ex Belle, it makes his change of attitude towards his nephew less affective. It really is one of the more poignant scenes in the book and it’s disappointing to see it cut out despite the latter film doing a great job being faithful to the original Dickens story to point of even sometimes having Gonzo as Dickens as the narrator quoting the original text.
Well, highest grossing R rated film of 2019. If we're talking all films released this year, Endgame has them all whipped box office wise. And yes, money doesn't indicate quality, I'm just pointing that out.
I just saw that movie. That was a lot better than it was advertised. I'm so grateful that I didn't go see it in theaters. I would have had to watch it with my mum. Not the kind of movie you want to spend bonding time over. Wait that came out wrong. And so did that. 🤦🏻♀️
Still my favourite Christmas movie till this day. Sure, it's scary, but I still think that the animation is good, I honestly have no idea why people say its horrible or even complain that its not Christmassy. Its the most accurate depiction of the Charles Dickens book.
10:53 I object to this sin. 57 was fairly old in the 1850s, considering life was BRUTAL by comparison with today. Cities were filthy, indoor plumbing was barely a thing, disease was poorly understood, and hospital care basically amounted to "stick some leeches on and call me in the morning, if you live". You'd look like hell too if you were pushing sixty in those circumstances.
When your first name is Jacob and your middle name is Marley… Yeah- thank god it’s not my last name though. Then I would get picked on even more. 💀 I feel ya buddy; my class is reading/studying A Christmas Carol at the moment and I have to deal with their jokes that they just can’t seem to get enough of lmao-
I can only imagine the conversation that lead to this movie being made went like this. "Let's make a CGI Christmas Carol" "But there's so many versions. How will we make it stand out?" "We'll make it as annoying as possible" "Good plan. But how?" "Jim Carrey"
That's Why It's So Funny! Allow me to explain the joke and subsequently kill it. Usually when CS says the phrase, "character survives this" the this they are referring to is some unrealistic near death action. This joke is particularly funny in this video because it is both accurate and paradoxical to how this sin is usually set up. Obviously humans (regardless of age) can die from any mundane thing. I never framed my comment as a question.
Oh my goodness , I love this movie. It always freaked me out as a kid, though. The entire thing feels like a fever dream. 👌the first time I saw it I think I actually cried from the jaw unhinging and the creepy as heck Spector of death. Why did they make the ghost of Christmas yet to come so stinking creepy?
Fun fact, the ghost of Christmas present is based off the original idea of Father Christmas (Santa) He used to be pictured in green In the 1920s drinks company white rock put him in red in one of their adverts followed by coca cola doing the same thing
I had to watch this film MANY times for my English mock exams, I've sat through dissecting this film about 20 times and even after that painful couple of months. I still love this movie, It's definitely in my top 5 Christmas films.
The book, Marley's Ghost by Mark Hazard Osmun explains about why the three ghosts come instead of leaving it with Marley. Because, Scrooge would say to himself "That was Marley's problem not mine. I'm not like him! It has nothing to do with me "
I don’t care what anyone says, it’s still my favourite version of A Christmas Carol, purely because it’s easily one of the most faithful to the source material.
4:59 Chairs have spirits in that world? Is that the punishment of someone who was unsupportive in life? A furniture thief? Dangit, now I want a backstory about the spirit of Scrooge's chair! *DING*
3:55 - Does the narrator never heard of the phrase "shock"? If you were sitting in your bedroom at night and this happened, there is a distinct possibility your body would go into shock and freeze.
Janice Columbus Right! It would be one of those films that he somehow praises while sinning it. I feel like those are just a way of showcasing a great film with a twist.
Okay this one had me in stitches 😂 mostly the jokes pertaining to Scrooge’s physical build and age, like his vertebrae being like jenga blocks, or the joe Pesci falling down the stairs in home alone jokes 🤣🤣🤣
I saw this as a kid and was scared absolutely shitless.
Same. I'd always close my eyes at the door knocking scene specifically
I watched this at nine and the part in the tower with the kids I almost pissed my pants
Bruh the ghost of Christmas future scared the living shit outta me

Waiting for Pets 2
I just saw that movie. That was a lot better than it was advertised. I'm so grateful that I didn't go see it in theaters. I would have had to watch it with my mum. Not the kind of movie you want to spend bonding time over. Wait that came out wrong. And so did that. 🤦🏻♀️
Jennifer Stine Which movie?
@@LordTylerBluGunderson Sausage Party
60 it's not anti-religious, it's anti people who claim to be doing what God wants but aren't.
What?
So... like Frollo?
so anti-religious

Still my favourite Christmas movie till this day. Sure, it's scary, but I still think that the animation is good, I honestly have no idea why people say its horrible or even complain that its not Christmassy. Its the most accurate depiction of the Charles Dickens book.
Neghostiation😂😂😂😂. I laughed so hard
So...cinema sins is gearing up for christmas i guess.waiting for "Everything wrong with The polar express"
Morris Philemon god they’d have to just show the whole movie
It’s a movie I want so much to like but the only way I can is to avoid looking at any of the people.
That movie is my childhood. Thats why i never went back to see it. I dont want the memory to be tainted
@infinityrose92 yeah that actually does seem like a good idea. Live action especially
no matter what anyone says, this is one of my favorite christmas movies. this & polar express are criminally underrated. love this movie!!
“And most of the third group has been dead for probably 20 years.”
Me (a current dickens fan): **Middle finger intensifies**
I've found my people!
10:53 I object to this sin. 57 was fairly old in the 1850s, considering life was BRUTAL by comparison with today. Cities were filthy, indoor plumbing was barely a thing, disease was poorly understood, and hospital care basically amounted to "stick some leeches on and call me in the morning, if you live". You'd look like hell too if you were pushing sixty in those circumstances.
I have to remember watching EWW Hobbs and Shaw if it ever comes back again. I missed it the first time.
"Thursday: Something none of you were asking for."
Does this mean Endgame is coming?
Most likely
It's inevitable.
I can’t wait for Jay Exci and Th3Birdman to react to that.
@@theKK_spideyfans Do you think he's gonna remove sins in Endgame?
Average Joe Well I don’t recall he removed any for Infinity War.
Me: Sees Notification
My Brain, trying to block all memory of this movie: Nonononononono-
Me: THIS FILM EXISTS!!
When your name is Ebenezer and you have heard these Scrooge joke millions of times (Ebby is short for Ebenezer)
When your first name is Jacob and your middle name is Marley…
Yeah- thank god it’s not my last name though. Then I would get picked on even more. 💀
I feel ya buddy; my class is reading/studying A Christmas Carol at the moment and I have to deal with their jokes that they just can’t seem to get enough of lmao-
I can only imagine the conversation that lead to this movie being made went like this.
"Let's make a CGI Christmas Carol"
"But there's so many versions. How will we make it stand out?"
"We'll make it as annoying as possible"
"Good plan. But how?"
"Jim Carrey"
"Tonight, the role of the Dobby house elf will be played by sirius black."
I'm In class watching this and i can't help but smile.
Either way, he's doomed to murder by Bellatrix. :(
Why were you watching in class?
@@batstoast3560 why not?
Thus the beginning of the Christmas movie sins 2019
It already began with his last Christmas sin of this year Elf.
"He survives this"
falling down three stairs
💀💀
Old people have weak bones. A simple fall could seriously injure them .
@@Nico-nr8jm i know😂😂😂
This sin is hilarious
My husband’s grandma fell on a flat carpeted surface and required 11 surgeries. So yes.
@@jaredmaples1759 not to mention those steps were frozen stone. Anyone, old or otherwise, could easily die from that
That's Why It's So Funny!
Allow me to explain the joke and subsequently kill it.
Usually when CS says the phrase, "character survives this" the this they are referring to is some unrealistic near death action. This joke is particularly funny in this video because it is both accurate and paradoxical to how this sin is usually set up.
Obviously humans (regardless of age) can die from any mundane thing.
I never framed my comment as a question.
I remember when this movie gave me nightmares, and we did't even get past the first ghost with the chains (Marley?)
I love how in the outtakes you included Willy Wonka’s infamous “You get nothing. You lose. Good day sir” and Admiral Ackbar’s “It’s a trap!”
"Thursday: Something none of you were asking for."
Perfect, just what I asked for.
True fact:
I did a hero's journey project on this in high school. And I put the worse detail into it. But still passed with a B+!?
Excalibur please. Do the greatest film version of the Arthurian mythos ever put to the screen.
Jim Carrey this whole movie sounds like he's doing an impression of Emperor Palpatine
That's what I was thinking. "Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational Christmas Carol!" 😆
Oh my goodness , I love this movie. It always freaked me out as a kid, though. The entire thing feels like a fever dream. 👌the first time I saw it I think I actually cried from the jaw unhinging and the creepy as heck Spector of death. Why did they make the ghost of Christmas yet to come so stinking creepy?
Fun fact, the ghost of Christmas present is based off the original idea of Father Christmas (Santa)
He used to be pictured in green
In the 1920s drinks company white rock put him in red in one of their adverts followed by coca cola doing the same thing
I miss this movie. Jim Carrey really shines even as a cgi character.
How does one "miss" a movie? You know it still exists to be watched, right?
Smokey McJoint Solid point. It’s probably at the local library if money is tight. Carrey did do a great job, though.
Jim Carrey Scrooge: Good afternoon!
Scrooge does look and sound like Jim Carrey Count Olaf! XD
1:26
Actually thats called “Bumper-shining” (at least, thats what I know it by), and its fun as hell.
Wait...this movie has less sins than A Muppet Christmas Carol?!?!?! In what universe?
How does this have less sins than The Muppets Christmas Carol
Muppets were a sin the minute a guy shoved his hand up a puppets ass
@@lovelylacey oh so that how they do it
@@Kylehappy305 PFFHSKSHSJ
I had to watch this film MANY times for my English mock exams, I've sat through dissecting this film about 20 times and even after that painful couple of months. I still love this movie, It's definitely in my top 5 Christmas films.
I’m doing the same thing now (we’ll I’m meant to )
jeremy mispronouncing Bill Nighy: Ding!
Bill Nighy the Science Gughy!
StormDoesGaming I think he was talking about the actor that played Davy Jones in the pirates of the Caribbean movies
@@emilylarsen2370 I know, I was making a pun on Bill Nye, because thats what Jeremy pronounced it as
How in the hell do you pronounce Nighy?
Janice Columbus -
Like “Ni-ee”
This movie scared me shitless when I was young...I couldn't even watch a public play of it🤦🤦
6:43
Just noticed that scrooge in this movie looks like an older Matt Smith as the Doctor crossed with Jim Carry
The book, Marley's Ghost by Mark Hazard Osmun explains about why the three ghosts come instead of leaving it with Marley. Because, Scrooge would say to himself "That was Marley's problem not mine. I'm not like him! It has nothing to do with me "
Marley's ghost used to scare the wits out of me
That's what happens when people make christmas movies but they're still in the Halloween spirit. I love it!
I died when he started singing "I'm Gonna Let It Shine"🤣🤣🤣🕯🌳 12:37😳😆😆😂😂😂😂
aka This Little Light of Mine 😉
I don’t care what anyone says, it’s still my favourite version of A Christmas Carol, purely because it’s easily one of the most faithful to the source material.
I've been watching the Muppet's version so much I actually forgot there was only one Marley in the original story.
I actually like this movie but the George C Scott version is my favorite
What about Bill Murray's version? :)
@@LiveINtheGood53 (as cab driver) Niagara Falls. 😀
4:59 Chairs have spirits in that world? Is that the punishment of someone who was unsupportive in life? A furniture thief? Dangit, now I want a backstory about the spirit of Scrooge's chair!
*DING*
3:55 - Does the narrator never heard of the phrase "shock"? If you were sitting in your bedroom at night and this happened, there is a distinct possibility your body would go into shock and freeze.
the kingsman ending works to well then having colin firth as a credit right after is the icing on the cake!!
The Ghost of Christmas Present is quite literally Saint Nicholas.
That last "Its a trap!" got me XD XD XD

Please do Everything Wrong With Scrooged.
Never! Scrooged is perfect! (Just kidding, EWW Scrooged would be fun.)
Janice Columbus Right! It would be one of those films that he somehow praises while sinning it. I feel like those are just a way of showcasing a great film with a twist.
Okay this one had me in stitches 😂 mostly the jokes pertaining to Scrooge’s physical build and age, like his vertebrae being like jenga blocks, or the joe Pesci falling down the stairs in home alone jokes 🤣🤣🤣
I was in seventh grade when this movie came out and my class went to see it on a field trip. I loved it.
