Quick Write: Comparison Between the two Christmas Carol movies

There were a lot of movies made based on the novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The two movies I am comparing today is the one made in 1999 and the other more recent one, the Disney movie in 2009. 10 years, the same plot same themes, but presented in two very different ways. The new Disney movie is in animation, unlike the 1999 one. the two movie also shows how much the technology has improved in a 10 year span. The quality of the of the older movie was not bad, it is still an enjoyable movie, and it is more like what I've expected after reading the actual book, though I expected the main character, Scrooge to have a lot more hair, and a lot older, being such a miserable man.  The Disney animation in 2009 was very lively and was not really close to what I have expected. A lot of the things in the movie, to me, was a little bit exaggerated. I felt more related to the filmed movie in 1999, and I did cry in the end, which means an old movie can still touch your heart. The animated movie was a little bit chaotic for me, and I didn't cry at the end, maybe that is because I can't relate to these drawn characters.
