[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 349433, member: 23"] That's a really nice way of looking at it. Oh great, and thanks. I did hesitate about watching when I saw it was a musical, but I'm really glad I did. As [USER=33]@Angela Christmas[/USER] said many of the songs are forgettable, which is a shame, but I loved the performances, the atmosphere created in the film and the balance of darkness and humour. I think it works really well, especially in the non-musical moments. The 1951 will be on my list to watch in future. Come to think of it, I'm not sure which versions of A Christmas Carol I've actually watched. [I]The Muppet Christmas Carol[/I] is great. My biggest bugbear with it (as with many Disney-related films) is the nannying aspect ("Gee. This moment's a bit frightening for younger children. Let's have two daft narrators to diffuse it by saying something lighthearted"). Apart from that it's brilliant. Agreed. Still, at least there was wisdom enough to reprise both the songs you mentioned later in the film. [/QUOTE]
