Score: 19

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

An American Christmas Carol features solid acting and production, but the Blu-ray release suffers from subpar video and audio, making it a conditional recommendation.

Video: 14

An American Christmas Carol's Blu-ray debut features a subpar 1080p transfer with heavy softness, rampant noise, scratches, and frequent banding. Retaining the 4x3 aspect ratio, the picture appears hazy and dim, offering only occasional clarity amidst generally murky visuals.

Audio: 19

An American Christmas Carol's LPCM 2.0 uncompressed soundtrack is disappointingly lackluster, with a tinny presentation and limited range, failing to create a robust audio environment while exhibiting occasional harshness and undefined effects, making it a difficult track to listen to.

Extra: 6

Shout! Factory's Blu-ray release of An American Christmas Carol includes a single extra: an 8-9 minute HD interview with Henry Winkler, where he reflects on his initial apprehensions, the makeup process, and the film’s enduring legacy.

Movie: 61

"An American Christmas Carol," featuring Henry Winkler, reimagines the timeless tale with strong performances and a heartfelt message. Although familiar and somewhat predictable, this Blu-ray release benefits from Shout! Factory’s quality presentation, bringing nostalgia and holiday cheer to the forefront despite minor technical and production constraints.
