Like bro, just make a horror movie. What are we doing here?! As with Tom Hanks in The Polar Express, the majority of the characters are all played by one actor. This time, Jim Carrey dons the motion capture balls, along with some other familiar faces playing horrific little CG people. It's a truly ghoulish experience, and not just because of all the g-g-g-g-ghosts! Plot (via Wiki): On Christmas Eve 1843, in Victorian-era London, Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey), a greedy, penny-pinching, and lonely moneylender, refuses to partake in the merriment of Christmas; he declines his cheerful nephew Fred's (Colin Firth) invitation to the annual Christmas dinner party and dismisses two gentlemen (Cary Elwes) who are collecting money for charity. His loyal employee Bob Cratchit (Gary Oldman) requests to not work on Christmas Day so he can spend time with his family, to which Scrooge reluctantly agrees. That night, Scrooge encounters the shackled ghost of his seven years dead business partner Jacob Marley (Gary Oldman) in his home. Marley warns Scrooge to repent his ways or suffer a worse fate, stating that three spirits will visit him over three nights. At one o'clock, Scrooge is visited by the candle-like Ghost of Christmas Past (Jim Carrey), who shows him visions of his early life, such as his lonely boarding school days, his relationship with his beloved sister Fan (Robin Wright) and his time as an apprentice under the benevolent Fezziwig (Bob Hoskins). The young Scrooge met a young woman named Belle (Robin Wright), with whom he falls in love, but his focus on accruing wealth drives them apart. Scrooge extinguishes the Ghost's flame and returns home. Scrooge next meets the merry Ghost of Christmas Present (Jim Carrey), who shows how others find joy on Christmas Day. Scrooge and the Ghost visit Bob's house, learning his family is content with their small dinner and meagre home. Scrooge takes pity on Bob's ill son Tiny Tim, whom the rapidly ageing Ghost comments might not survive until next Christmas. They next visit Fred's house, where Fred insists the guests raise a toast to Scrooge in spite of his stinginess and general ill will. Before the Ghost withers away, he shows Scrooge the evils of "Ignorance" and "Want". The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (Jim Carrey) takes Scrooge into the future where a recent death elicits no sympathy from London's inhabitants. After being chased across London by the Ghost, Scrooge sees his charwoman Mrs. Dilber trade the deceased's possessions to fence named Old Joe. Scrooge sees the deceased's body but refuses to see his face. After being shown a couple relieved of the death, Scrooge asks to see tenderness connected to death; the Ghost shows Scrooge the Cratchits' home, where he sees Bob and his family mourning the death of Tiny Tim. Clarifying for the identity of the dead man, Scrooge is taken to a cemetery, where the Ghost points out a neglected grave, bearing the name of Scrooge and that he will die on Christmas Day, either in 1843, or any of the following years, as the snow stops short of revealing it. Scrooge desperately vows to change his ways before falling into his empty coffin above an orange flame of Hell; before he can impact the coffin, he finds himself returned to his bedroom in the present. Discovering it is Christmas Day, a gleeful Scrooge begins spreading happiness and joy around London, anonymously sending the Cratchits a turkey dinner, finding one the portly gentleman and agreeing to give to charity, and then attending Fred's Christmas dinner. The next day, Scrooge raises Bob's salary and pledges his support for the Cratchits. Scrooge becomes a father figure to Tiny Tim, who overcomes his ailments and is restored to health, and now treats everyone with kindness, generosity, and compassion, thus embodying the Christmas spirit. #polarexpress #tomhanks #commentary
