Viewing Notes
That’s some dark shit right there.
Not that we needed another adaptation of this story, in animated form no less but this one is a tad different with live action opener and closer featuring Dickens telling the story to an audience. Then through a couple of mice the story goes into animated mode, pretty dark until the end. Pretty good voice acting but Nic Cage seems very out of place among these English actors.
