Old fan, definitely xD Ever since my parents bought me the VHS when I was a baby. But unlike alot of fans, I will always say the first movie is the best movie for every reason and nothing else from is even comes close to comparing. Altho I do like the sequel and the Christmas one was.... just another addition to the list of Christmas Carol versions, I will still argue that they don't come lose to the magnificence of the first movie. I loved it when I was a kid, more-so now that I'm older and understand alot more of it.

I am such an OLD FAN, it's not even funny.
I remember watching ADGTH all the time when I was little . . . I thought the characters were so lively and awesome back then and I still do today, but now I understand the mature message and imagery the first film had . . . I think that's why it's still one of my favorite animated films, even compared to today's CGI films.
Why yes, I do have all three films (first, second and the Christmas Special - 'cause I'm a moron).

Wow, I must be one of the few people who are relatively new to ADGTH. I only saw it a couple of years ago on TV, but my reaction was similar to many of the older fans on here. What I loved most was that Charlie is not your typical hero. He's no saint, and his original plan involved exploiting a child to get revenge, but he still managed to grow over the course of the movie. He came to care for Anne-Marie eventually giving his life so that she would have a safe home.
Favorite Line: Anne-Marie: Charlie, will you help me find a mom and dad? Charlie: Kid, I'll help you find the lost city of Atlantis! Just please, please go to sleep!

I saw it back in the mid-90s, but rewatching it in my later years I finally realized just how downright dark the movie gets at times. Wonderful isn't it?

I'm, and old fan. Crap, I can't even remember when I first saw ADGTH, eh must have been somewhere around 93. As a kid I was downright obsessed with that movie, and would watch it almost everyday. I have to agree with everyone else, I never realized how dark the film is until my later years. Its still one of my favorite movies.

I can be considered an old fan I guess. I first saw this movie in about 1999 when my aunt bought me the movie on VHS.

I'd like to consider myself being an old time fan. I was born in '89 so I didn't get to see it until a few years later on VHS, but I've loved it ever since then! I can't count the amount of times I used to watch it as a kid and I still do watch it regularly!
