01/08/2021 I thought it was an enjoyable story and a look into the time period of Charles Dickens life to inspire him to write one of the most memorable Christmas stories even to this day See more 11/15/2010 A hard to find story of how Dicken's was inspired to write The Christmas Carol. Very family friendly..well it was produced by a family friendly company. It has discussion questions at the end of the movie. See more 06/28/2009 Almost harmless family fluff.
