Hey U Guys

Jim Carrey is not my idea of Scrooge (that'll be Albert Finney), but Disney clearly don't agree and they've given us (via /Film) a look at a new trailer which showcases Robert Zemeckis's pseudo-realistic animation style, previously seen in The Polar Express.

The UK release date is set for the decidedly un-festive 6th of November and this trailer does everything it should: the graphics are startling and the holiday spirit is alive and well in every frame. London is under its blanket of snow and moonlight, the ramshackle abode of Ebenezer Scrooge is in a suitable state of ruin, and Carrey's 'performance' (motion)-captures the miserly man very well. While I'm dubious about the need for another Christmas Carol Disney and Zemeckis (from the director of Back to the Future - as the trailer has it) seem to be adding their signature magic to this one.
