Sweet quant fun story

Great performance by the cast and a cute quant Christmas story with an original storyline and some silly quirky events that put a very contemporary twist on the Christmas Carol moral of the story without repeating the same storyline.

Delightful!

I thoroughly enjoyed this spin on Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. No official ghosts and there were times when I had no idea where they were going with the story, but definitely a fun ride.

Fun and unusual

The best thing about this was all the sound effects. It made the story more visual and interesting. Story was good ending was not exactly what I expected but it wasn’t weird. No religion in the story but could find a moral lesson if you want.
