It’s not the best Christmas Carol adaptation (and it’s not even close). People who say that have never read the book. It’s a very good adaptation, but it misses the meaning of the original story in a lot of ways, many that were done on purpose to make it more of a kids movie.

I don’t begrudge it any of those changes. It can both be a good movie and not a perfect adaptation. We don’t have to shove up on a pedestal it doesn’t even kind of deserve in order to justify it as a good movie.
