External reviews for
A Christmas Carol (2009) More at IMDbPro »

By Kirk Honeycutt

Didn't Charles Dickens use to be the author of "A Christmas Carol?" Well, now it's "Disney's A Christmas Carol" that opens later this week. Even that's a misnomer. It should be "Robert Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol." This is not nitpicking, for authorship goes to the heart of what's good and what's not good about this latest cinematic installment of the classic Christmas story.

When it comes to name recognition, you cannot ask for more at the holiday season than Disney and "A Christmas Carol," so a potent boxoffice is assured.
