Not sure what the director was going for. But he did not do right by this wonder Christmas tale of Scrooge. Filming in a horribly echoey abandoned home in the country in Spring time??? Between the echoes and loud background music it's difficult to hear the non emotional actors. The players portraying the Cratchets were excellent though. We watch several versions of this story every year and are always on the lookout for ones we haven't seen. We will not be including this version to ones to rewatch. Following closely to the book is it's only saving grace.
