Like I said before bad future and in sonic cd Bad Future. So magoo wakes up and now is like some kind a good future. Back in sonic cd there is a good future.
4:40 ranks as one of the greatest sound effects in cartoons, along with Speed Racer's car starting or Magoo hitting the substation in his cartoon series.
Jim Backus gives such a charming performance in this wonderful rendition of A CHRISTMAS CAROL - if only they hadn't reversed the order of the ghosts! I could never figure out why they felt that the cartoon would be dramatically more sound with the Christmas Present ghost coming first. But, if you don't know the original, you don't really care. It's so wonderfully entertaining. And the Jule Styne / Bob Merrill score is an unappreciated gem.
@showtunestarpower wow!i've been watching this since the sixties and never realized the ghosts were out of order! i guess it really didn't matter to me. my favorite version of the story.
@showtunestarpower -- i think that they made the ghost switch in order to introduce the Crachetts earlier on in the film in order to to balance out the song list for what was an animated, but essentially musical adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
"Hello There", "Woah" "Hello, Hello there" and the horse runs away. I always loved that part.

That's a really good point. The Christmas song that the family sings gives the show a lift it needs at about that point.
