User Reviews

Faithful to the original, clever, and funny.

Even though I've only seen 10 episodes of the original series, I really enjoyed watching them. So when watching this reboot I did have high expectations unlike everyone else, and I was also afraid that it might suck badly because most reboots in recent years have been borderline trash. This reboot is not trash, not even close. It stays faithful to the original series, has great writing, and the jokes constantly hit. I've seen a few people complain about the art style and honestly, it's actually really good and fits well with the new comic book style the series is taking. The voice acting is better than the original (although Alan Young as Scrooge in the original is still brilliant) and I love David Tennant as Scrooge. He fits the character so well and does such a great job. Even though we only have two episodes so far, they are two episodes that I adored and I'm pretty sure fans of the original series will love this just as much, if not more than the original. The animation is gorgeous as well. It isn't choppy and is actually really fluid and the original Pac-Man shaped black eyes for the pupils are a very nice touch. Overall, this is a great reboot and you should watch it right now. Great job all around, can't wait for new episodes!
