    Have you peoples seen it? I saw it last night. SO not what I was anticipating. Good movie, but NOT for little kids (in my scared-y pants opinion).

    I have seen it yet, but I really want to.
    I'm a huge fan of A Christmas Carol.

    I heard from some people that it wasn't very good, though. :/
    O, well. It's still one of my favourite stories of all time. :]

    It's very, very dark. I know I went into it expecting it to be a fun, semi light hearted christmas movie. So maybe others don't like it because that's what they thought too, and when they figured out how dark it was they were thrown off/dissapointed. I thought it was still really good though.

    I am super excited to see it! A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite stories of all time. :grin:

    Hopefully it isn't too dark and scary because the only way I can get to the theater is if my siblings go too. And I think it is meant to be a pretty dark story overall, I mean Scrooge has to learn and the only thing that really sets him straight is the creepy stuff.

    Yeah! Some scenes made me just go WOW though, lol. How old are your cousins? I guess it depends on the kid too.

    I'm only worried about it scaring my brother, he's 9. We watch the traditional version every year, so he knows the general story and all that. He's pretty good with some of the scarier movies we watch together most of the time.
