Jonathan Kim: ReThink Review: Disney's A Christmas Carol (3D) -- Don't Get Scrooged
If you've seen any of the ads (including posters/print) for Disney's A Christmas Carol (3D) , you (and kids) would think that the film is a funny, slapsticky, action-filled Jim Carrey romp that makes dazzling use of the advances in performance-capture 3D/CG technology.
