A Christmas Carol 3D Blu-ray

Hi there,

Just a quick note to let you know that the UK version(don't know if it's different from other regions) of Disney's 'A Christmas Carol' is currently winging its way towards me.

I ordered it from Play.com more than two months ago(I think; it's been a very long time) and, as of an hour ago(01.00 hrs UK time), I got an e-mail to say that it had been despatched to my address.

So, with luck, I should get it well in advance of its UK release date(November 8th), maybe before the weekend. Thank you Disney for getting it to Play.com well in advance.

Not bad, eh?

John.

Cool. Let us know how it looks. It was one of my favorite 3D titles. Jim Carry did such a great job of scrooge. I'm somewhat of a Christmas Scrooge myself, and a bit of loner. His character reminded me a lot of myself, only I'm not as mean as all that. After watching the movie I almost wanted to change my ways and go all merry Christmas on everyone... Almost lol. Can't wait to see it on Blu-ray 3D. Just a couple more weeks.

The review is already up on this site fyi.

Will do, my friend. And, on a quick note, there are times I wish that the various companies wouldn't notify me of despatch. I haven't a lot of patience so being notified that it's on its way is rather frustrating.

Fortunately Jersey(where Play.com are based) is only a short distance(by plane, anyway) from the UK mainland(there are even flights from there into my local airport); it shouldn't take more than a couple of days at most to reach me.

So, as soon as I've seen it, I'll let you know what I think.

John.

God bless you! That was touching and thoughtful.

I saw this 3X when it was out in theaters. Before then my wife and I visited Union Station here in Chicago for the A Christmas Carol Train Stop. It was the best promotion for a movie that I've ever witnessed. They must have spent a ton of money on it. They had a train decked out in Victorian England, A Christmas Carol art and inside the cars were real artifacts including clothing from a London musesum from Dickens time. Another car had special effects stuff and there was also an interactive picture taking machine. The train started off in California and worked it's way across America. Once off the train there was a snow making machine providing atmosphere (it was hot outside) jugglers, carolers and a inflatible 3D theater. I was hyped up like nothing else to see this movie and I wasn't dissapointed. My wife who knows how passionate I am about 3D just shook her head.

I look forward to all the reviews and even more so of getting this disc. I thought it was great and so did my wife.

will this have a 2d option as-well? I have a 3d tv but if I can't get a 2d version I won't get it.

Read the signature.

All Disney 3D releases are combo packs that include a 2D version on a separate disc.

It's OK. Jimmy Smith is just our official 2D on a 3D disc question police.

So far every 3D title I have has a 2D version. But apparently there are a couple titles that don't have the 2D version on the 3D disc. I heard The exclusive version of Alice In Wonderland only plays in 3D. Oh, and I think that soccer highlights World Cup deal said it would only play in 3D. The review for A Christmas Carol states that the 3D disc will not play in 2D. But it does have a separate 2D disc included in the combo pack. No doubt so they can charge more.

I haven't seen a thread in the 3D forum for this title. I just ordered it. Being my favorite Christmas movie I have high hopes. How is the 3D? Review said it was great but they also said Journey 2 was great and I was less than impressed with that one.

There are some reviews of the 3D in the main thread; just have to do a little searching for them. Good luck.

The 3D aspect is great so if you like the movie itself you are all set.

I got mine pretty cheap when Borders was going out of bussiness some time ago.

thatscifiguy · 10-15-2013, 03:57 PM

Wow, lots of I hate 3D whining in that thread.

Christmas Carol's 3D is excellent SonOfArathorn. Released at the height of the post-Avatar 3D flood, it was obviously made with 3D in mind with many scenes taking advantage of it to full effect. The picture quality is stunning, and while the official review mentions some very occasional ghosting I didn't notice any with my passive 3D TV. I think you will enjoy it.

dblystonejr · 10-15-2013, 04:54 PM

Love the snow in this one. It looks like it is snowing right in your living room.

Jbug · 10-15-2013, 08:23 PM

I saw this 3x when it was in theaters. Couldn't wait to own the blu ray either. I always look forward to watching this and The Polar Express during the Christmas season.

AmrlKJaneway · 10-15-2013, 09:17 PM

Fantastic 3D. Just like The Polar Express, fast moving snow in the corners of the screen sometimes invoke a sense of motion, in me at least. You won't be disappointed. And it's a great movie too!

Same here. I have also added Hugo, Arthur Christmas, and A Very Harold And Kumar Christmas to my list of must see Chrsitmas flicks.

Agreed. 3D haters are annoying - they just spout their hate in every thread - like it bothers them that some enjoy the 3D films.

This disc is well worth buying.
