Here was a time travel story with an underlying idea. The voices coming out of them belong to Olivia Colman, Luke Evans and Jessie Buckley, a trio of Netflix alums who may have been possessed by some sense of familial duty to enroll in the streamer’s adaptation.ĭickens’s novella, originally published in 1843, was storytelling at its most taut and rigorous, a work brimming with humor and humanity. The figures lack dimension in all respects. Nor will you be terribly impressed with the production values, which languish in a no-man’s land on the visual spectrum between old school claymation and acceptably modern. The kids weren’t buying it, and neither will you. In this case, though, song is used to dazzle and distract. A rule of thumb in musical theater is that characters should sing only when speaking will not convey their emotion.
