You might be wondering why a Christmas tale with a dark undercurrent can be considered in any way a good thing, but the truth is that many classic tales – especially those set around the holidays – are no different.

His performance isn’t...
Like The Polar Express, A Christmas Carolhas taken much criticism over the years due to the ‘uncanny valley’ animation, but we think the choice to tell the story in this way helps to capture the book’s more whimsical moments.
