AceShowbiz has four short clips from the new movie. (Unfortunately, you have to keep watching what I think is kind of an icky Halloween-themed amusement park ad, which airs before each one.)
"Three Spirits" is from the same Marley's Ghost scene that we've seen before, but it goes on a little longer. "Fezziwigs" looks a bit weird out of context; someone who doesn't know the story will probably wonder why there's so much jumping around going on. I like "I'm Still Here," not just for the fun of Scrooge's awakening but also for some of the cool camera angles they use. Finally, there's "Confronting Mr. Cratchit," which looks okay, though I would have liked to see a little more facial expression in the characters. The site also has eight new images from the film. Take a look!
This movie looks so neat. I wish they would consider doing some of the other books this way - (you know what I'm thinking of in particular, but even something like Oliver Twist would be nice).
Unfortunately I probably won't get a chance to see this one this year, because I'm avoiding crowds so as not to get H1N1. Darn you, flu!

Lol, the graphics look like a computer game (which is kinda good and kinda bad). I recognise most of the dialogue, which is usually a good sign, but though it's a semi-animated film, all the gymnastic feats still seem a bit weird! I mean, Fezziwig doing a somersault? ;D
