Cinematical has received this exclusive final poster for Disney's A Christmas Carol, Robert Zemeckis' newest dive into the pioneering world of motion capture animation. The Polar Express and Beowulf director's spin on Charles Dickens' timeless tale of a bitter old man, Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taken on a midnight journey of self-redemption by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Christmas Yet to Come, stars Jim Carrey as not only the cranky Scrooge, but all three apparitions as well.
As you might have guessed from the poster, Zemeckis' take promises to be the most wondrous adaptation of Dickens' original story to date. Substituting the dour introversion found in countless other cracks at the tale with a sense of adventure is a perfect fit for the man who created Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. If there is any doubt that Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol is going to be anything less than a must see exhibition this November 6th, just take a look at the roll call at the bottom of the poster: Disney Digital 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D. That's every flavor the cutting edge tech has to offer.
And if the above poster doesn't sell you on the Disney sponsored trip to a magical, Victorian-era wonderland, I'm sure the below trailer will.

"...Zemeckis' take promises to be the most wondrous adaptation of Dickens' original story to date."
Is that a joke? Quality is wondrous, and this one has a high mountain to climb to even approach the 1951 version of the story with Alistair Sim.

Another trip into the uncanny valley with Zemeckis? I think I'll pass, thanks.

The poster confirms what the trailer had me suspecting: this film is entirely about watching an animated Jim Carrey fly through the air at a high speed

You're cynical.
I really don't think I gave it all that much praise. I have no problem with the style of Zemeckis' last two jumps into the uncanny valley, and considering I think the man is a wonderfully talented auteur, anything he makes is a must-see for me. This is no different.

The final poster makes Scrooge look very "happy" in a sexual kind of way.

What a waste of time and movie?! A Christmas CArol has been told so many times, why not get some fresh material out there?
Plus, the best was A Muppets Christmas Carol. Period

Are you sure you are not on Disney's payroll? This looks like a complete and utter piece of tripe. Carrey just needs to spend the rest of his life spending his money and screwing Jenny. Zemeckis is toast.
