i just saw richard williams oscar win but make for tv version of a christmas carol on google video . have see and hear so many version over the year and i find this the most beautifully animated version with it illustration style rendering of london and it people in the 19th century . as compelling a the drawing be though and i find the story at 24 minute a little too short for my taste so the transformation of scrooge at the end be not as complete a i would like it to be . that say and it be nice to hear alastair sim once again portray the lead character a he have do in the 1951 version . a the cratchit family and tiny tim have say over and over again and god bless u everyone .
