Чудесный и трогательный мультфильм, самое то под новый год
Ожидания были невысокими из-за оценок, но он приятно удивил

The new one, which is worse than the old one. The Christmas Story is a classic of world literature, which is re-read and revised every year. However, netflix has made it worse. And it's not about the agenda, although there is one, but about misunderstanding the main idea of the story. Scrooge is presented here more sympathetically, both externally and internally, which I think is wrong. In the original, this is a pathetic man, greedy to the point of absurdity, petty and cruel, but here he is... Just rude... They try to show him as bad, but he looks just a rude sly man, of course he's greedy, but not even close as in the 2009 adaptation. Whatever you understand, the new Scrooge is not only beautiful, he also reflects on his behavior, he thinks about the correctness of his actions, the one who should look like the most greedy person in the world, thinks about whether he did the right thing! In another story it would have looked good, but in this one you wonder if he even needs these Christmas spirits?In principle, a week or two of such reflections, and he will correct himself. And such changes spoil the story, but this is not the only bad picture.
Songs... A lot of songs, too many... And there are some good ones, but there are some that are... Well, it just is, it is necessary to justify the title of the musical. Everyone has a different attitude to this, but I didn't like how long they stretch the last syllable, and this is repeated several times in the film.
However, this is nothing compared to the dog. Why is it needed? Really, why? He didn't come in handy in any way during the course of the plot, but he spoils every scene in which there is. The whole drama is negated by his presence, and I'm not exaggerating. The scene where a man alone is faced with the mistakes of the past and present alone, and where he faces problems with a slobbering dog in the background feels completely different. Well, they added a dog, but why take him on a time trip! The fact that we didn't know for sure if Scrooge was really traveling or if it was his dream gave the picture charm, but here they tell us directly "It's all true, it doesn't strain the brain".
