  • Man I would love to have Scrooge Mcduck as my economics theater!

  • Awwww!!! Huey, Dewey and Louie sound adorable!

  • I wish Carl Barks had written and directed this cartoon, IMHO he would have done a far better job with it humor wise.

  • america debt is 15 TRILLION.. makes 1 billion look like a sand

  • great cartoon... i can show this to my students next week....

  • Best quotes: "Why don't they just print up a few billion or so?" and "But unless something's behind it in the treasury, something solid and secure... We'd have inflation."

  • 6:25 - Americans; listen.

  • 1:50

    Yepz America CEO's.*

  • >SPOOKYNESS It predicts America's future; EVEN the DEAD knew our fate as humans.*

  • >ALEX JONES needs to POINT to this Cartoon;

  • Forget billions, imagine all the TRILLIONS of dollars we've got in debt!!

  • Oh, Uncle Scrooge, if only Congress remembered your wisdom, not just us children of the 80s (60s and 70s too!).

  • Mr. Rumsfeld. What happened to the trillions of dollars.. AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE??!?!

  • Thanks for posting. 

  • They seriously need to teach children this stuff in school. It's so important in today's world to know how money works.

  • "Money needs to circulate"? That explains why Scrooge keeps all his money in his vault and never spends any... No, wait.

  • @13mungoman13 He circulates it.

    He occasionally moves it from one part of the Money Bin to another.

  • @13mungoman13 Huey, Dewey, and Louie ask Scrooge about his "idle dough." He explains that the money goes in and out each day. Scrooge goes on to explain how investing $1.95 in his firm would grow into more money over time. Scrooge explains this concept a third time while he is sitting on an island of money, saying that if he sat on his money, he might as well be stranded on a desert island.

  • This cartoon was made before the adoption of fiat currency, I think Scrooge would have a heart attack if he saw what was happening now.

  • A few Billion! If he is freaking out about a billion dollars then imagine scrooge living with a 14 trillion dollar deficit...He'd be in a Duck-coma.

  • I've already learned more from this cartoon than from my boring economics class

  • We should show this to Obama.

  • Money must circlualing. NOT truth, totally keynesian bullshit.

  • @metal87power If money does not circulate it causes deflation. Case in point being Japan.

  • @metal87power

    care to explain? calling something bullshit on its own merit doesn't mean anything.

  • I like this episode. It's like a early verison of duckdales.

  • The higest rated comments are right on, the ones below seem to come from those stuck in scarcity and the victom mentality. Interesting how we see things.

  • Scrooge McDuck definitely represents today's executives at the Disney Channel. He's very greedy, and so are Disney Channel's current executives.

  • Did I mention he loves his money? That's another thing Scrooge and Disney Channel have in common.

  • These are the kind of films that kids today should watch and learn about. It's one of the simplest lessons of economics in the film industry.

  • The rhyming scheme of this entire episode is just amazing...

    At some points it's not even that noticeable. But they made the effort just the same :)

  • Phew, I learned so much just watching this. @.@

    I don't recall any currently running cartoon educating me as much as this cartoon.

    I think this cartoon even made me decide Scrooge McDuck is my most favorite Disney character ever for teaching me so much. XD

  • The adaptation for DuckTales!

  • yep and if I'm right, this was Scrooge Mcducks first debt.

  • Here's a free piece of information for you, here:

    Bill Thompson was the voice of Scrooge McDuck in this cartoon, and The Mellomen voiced Huey, Dewey, and Louie in this one. Please note that this was BEFORE Mickey's Christmas Carol, when Alan Young took over as the prominent role of Scrooge.

    Someday, Volumes 4 and 5 will hit Manufacture on Demand...

  • @YoshiAngemon

    If you want to include LP albums Alan Young's first role as Scrooge was in 1974... 9 years before it would made into to the animated adaptation we all remember.

  • This is definetly a good cartoon with excellent voice acting <3 better then ducktales infact <3

  • Scrooge mc duck is definetly the best Disney villain of all time <3

  • Great Vid

  • FPS Kyle!!!

  • No! I'm learning! DX

  • "A billion sure is a lot." The Bush Bailout was 700 billion!

  • "Think of the Yaks. Cause he cough up the price *COUGH* and swallowed the tax"

  • could anyone imagine Disney remastering this like the Have a Laugh, with Alan Young reprising Scrooge?

  • a billion dollars!?!!? that would be chump change nowadays, for people like billgates or warrenbuffet sitting on his tuffet- eating his curds&way

  • Scrooge's voice is done by Bill Thompson who did many voices for Disney including the Ranger of Brownstone, Hubert the King in Sleeping Beauty< Smee in Peter Pan and JJ Fate in the How Not to Have an Accident in the Home series. He also did the voice of Droopy and Touche Turtle.

  • @skylur44 What about the White Rabbit?

  • @Kartoonkid95 What about him? That was also Bill Thompson and he did the voice of the Dodo as well.

  • @skylur44 I'm just saying you forgot to include the White Rabbit & Dodo in the list.

  • @Kartoonkid95 Now they've been added.

  • @skylur44

    He was also Uncle Waldo in The Aristocats. He also did several voices in Lady and the Tramp.

  • @cashpresley Wow, he certainly was prolific! Love all those films.

  • That's not Alan Young as Scrooge it's It's Mr. Woodlore from Humphrey cartoons.

  • Actually it's the guy from Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom.

  • Oh yeah him.

    It's not Smee then.

  • 6:05 : "Uncle Scrooge, why don't they just print up a few billion or so?"

    "A few *billion*?! Oh, dear, no! Why that word 'billlion,' how it's abused. If it weren't so frightening, I'd be amused! Folks have *no* conception."

    Oh, God help the United States of America. :P

  • Buena formaq de explicar la economia a la gente desde pequeños a los adultos

  • This is the first time I've seen this short. It might as well be worth the wait for more money.

  • i honestly didnt realize they were constantly rhyming until now. that took me 12 years to get that......

    im a failure XD

  • who the heck is the guy who was talking at the beginning? sounded kinda retarded

  • The guy talking at the start is Ludwig Von Drake, except the guy they got to voice him here sucks. It sounds more like the Mad Hatter.

  • That's not Ed Wynn.

  • I know, I'm just saying the voice the actor's doing sounds more like the Mad Hatter than Ludwig Von Drake.

  • True, he only did The Mad Hatter voice.

  • relevance!

  • he eats the money then he makes a "deposit" lol

  • ironic how he says the word billion is abused ...

  • greatstuff Im an investor and no mentor has been so good

  • what if he swallows some of his money??? xD

  • Awesome, I couldn't remember what this was, but remembered it fondly cause it had Donald's nephews in it.

  • And we've spent... How many billion dollars so far on Iraq?

    And earned... How much back?

  • XD XD XD XD Uncle scrooge roxs hard!!!!! hahahahahhah i love his comics books and i LOVE DUCKTALES!! i WANT VOLUME 4 AND 5 TO GO ON dvd ALREADy!!

  • @cayetanini There are about 25 episodes that aren't on DVD, so volume 4 would be the last.

  • Bits of this cartoon were used in the DTV version of Barett Strong's Money.

  • wow. This cartoon was made in 1967 who'd have thought they'd show it after all these years. Thank you so much for uploading all these awesome cartoons :)

  • Did he really EAT HIS MONEY?WOAH!DISASTER!!!!
