Check Out: Official Trailer for A Christmas Carol

This past July at Comic-Con director Robert Zemeckis treated fans to an extended look at his holiday release of A Christmas Carol. The 3D computer animated movie tells the classic Dicken’s tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge who is visited by three ghosts that take him on a journey that will change his outlook on life. This weekend the first official trailer for the Jim Carrey led movie debuted online via Yahoo Movies. Similar to The Polar Express and Beowulf, Zemeckis has made a third film with the same 3D computer technology that captures the look of the actors on screen. I am not sure how sold I am on the technology. I would have liked to see a live action version with Jim Carrey but visually this looks amazing. Check out the trailer after the jump.

Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of an old miser who must face Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-to-Come, as they help to bring kindness to his otherwise cold heart. The Ghosts remind him of the man he used to be, the hard truth of what the world is today, and what will happen if he does not strive to be a better man. Set around Christmas, the most joyous day of the year, Scrooge realizes the sharp contrast of his own personality.
