A Christmas Carol (1971) Review
The animation is made by Richard Williams, the author of Animators Survival Kit book. It is telling the story of an old guy who is grumpy and unfriendly who never wants to celebrate Christmas, even though his niece asked for him already. One day, he was being punished by ghosts and spirits which haunt him every 12AM. In the end, he regrets what he had done and he changes his bad character into a good one. In my opinion, the movie has a really good value, to celebrate Christmas with your family and friends and not spending it with your works. Overall, it is a really good animation to watch with your family and friends during the Christmas :)
