A Christmas Carol has been adapted … a lot.
Luckily, Apple’s Spirited takes the story and gives it a clever twist, says Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm.
Focusing on the ghosts who haunt folks who need a refresh in Christmas spirit, rather than on Scrooge, the audience gets a new look at a classic.
Throw in some well-choreographed musical numbers and two dynamic actors and you have a winner.
Though the plot can plod and some components don’t quite click, there’s more to enjoy than distaste in this Christmas flick, which is a pretty rare occurrence for the genre.
