First of all, glad they went with the first design. Second, it has that holiday feel that makes you can't wait for Dec 25th!
The tagline is very clever plus the layout is beautifully rendered. Jim definitely fits well above the poster similar to the 2000 advance poster for The Grinch.
The only thing I didn't like about the poster is the child's face in the candle. I don't know what's the point of that. Is it supposed to be the Ghost of Christmas past or what?
Overall however, it's a wonderful-looking poster that should be seen in every theater chain across the country!
