Mickey's Christmas Carol Part 3 of 5

[AliFayeFaye]

i know im only 17, and the older folks know this stuff more than me, but I WANT THE OLD DISNEY BACK!!!!! D,X

[SjonniTh]

Out of all the lorry loads of adaptions of A Christmas Carol (I might have seen at least 10 adaptions and read THE book), this one remains the favorite of mine.

[sunnysnsd1000]

@TherealRNO so until Scrooge does good stuff, Marley is released?

[keialexiswindsong]

am i mistaken or are the mouse and mole the same ones from wind in the willows?

[DTVzone]

@keialexiswindsong Yes. Essentially all incidental or background characters in this short are characters from Disney productions made during the 40's.

[etong2002001]

When little I thought 5:18 was the scariest part of the movie!

[evilincarnatevv]

It's funny how many things you don't understand as a child, and now watching this as an adult it's so different. I find myself laughing at Scrooge talking about compound interest. . . and at 7:04:

Jacob: "Remember when I was alive, I robbed the widows and swindled the poor."

Scrooge: "Yes, all in the same day. Oh, you had class, Jacob!"

hahaha! So well done...

[jvfunn3000]

Goofy did a good job as Jacob Marley and Jiminy Cricket did a good job playing Ghost of Christmas Past.

[Thoralmir]

Sorry, but I'm just not seeing Goofy as a heartless moneylender.

[primepm]

I find it funny how, as we grew up on these cartoons, we would complain about them being too kid-friendly and childish to openly enjoy. And how, now today, we display nostalgia about them as lost gems we all took for granted.

To take it all back just once more.

[Boogawes]

"Scrooge: Who are you?

Jiminy Cricket: Why, I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past!

Scrooge: Oh...I thought you'd be a little taller.

Jiminy Cricket: Hmmph! If men were measured by kindness, you'd be no bigger than a speck of dust!"

Good job, Jiminy Cricket!

[Boogawes]

I like the expression on Mickey's face when Scrooge throws the bag of laundry at him and when he says "Yes, sir" from behind the bag. Something about Mickey's ability to act without missing a beat makes me smile all the time.

[LisaMarie216]

They give each of the disney Character great roles for this movie especially Uncle Scrooge, Mickey, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy.

[TheDKGirl]

@LisaMarie216 Can't see why they chose Goofy to be the other greedy person though (Jacob Marley):S Normally he is very kind and loving;; Maybe they should have chosen Flintheart Glomgold? Besides from that I agree with you:D

[LisaMarie216]

@TheDKGirl

Yea I know. I kinda wish they choose someone else to play Marley. Scrooge makes a perfect. . .well...Scrooge. But where would they have put Goofy then if not in the role of Marley? That would be my question? But yea...I do agree.

[wingweaver84]

@TheDKGirl Could be(I'm not sure),but I think this came before DuckTales,so they couldn't use Glomgold in that case.

[DTVzone]

@wingweaver84 Like Scrooge McDuck, Flintheart Glomgold was originally created by Carl Barks for the Disney comic books. He's been around since the mid-50's.

[youknowme611]

lol he can walk through doors, but he trips on canes and stairs...lol

[Meguas2]

lol, three spirits and he throws up two fingers. :)

[85agapanthusgal]

A couple more great lines:

Ghost of Christmas Past: "C'mon, Scrooge. It's time to go!"

Scrooge: "Then go!"

Grrrrreat comeback! I chortle a lot at those lines, too!

[85agapanthusgal]

Scrooge: "Here's your wreath back. Now out, out, out!" [kicks Fred out the door and slams it after him]

Grrrrreat lines! I chortle at that moment every year!

LOL ROFL

[BenJabituya]

REALLY GOOD ACTING BY GOOFY!!! He fit the role of Marley's ghost very well!

[jejohnson1000]

I don't get how Goofy got assigned the role of Jacob Marley. It's hard to imagine Goofy being as ruthless and greedy as Scrooge Mcduck. Although his voice is creepy. First the door knocker calling Scrooooge! was creepy. Scrooge turned white when Goofy said "I'm doomed and the same thing will happen to you Ebenezer Scrooge!" Also why would Scrooge's chains be heavier than Marley's if he doesn't repent?

[yamiyugifangirl]

@jejohnson1000: How can Scrooge turn white when he is white?

[TherealRNO]

@jejohnson1000: Because the chain would weigh him down with all the wickedness Scrooge did in life.

[giorgosuper]

always i afraid jacob marley! he is scary!

[harrydeep1]

did anybody notice at 7:45 that jacob marley [ goofy] puts two fingers up instead of three?

[dragonheart8706]

Did anyone else have the book and cassette tape version of this?

[xMichiMichiyo]

I've watched this nearly every year my whole life. I'm 17 now and I still love it to this day! <3

[imagineerboi]

Whoever does the voice of Goofy/Marley here does a terrible job.

Love the rest of the cartoon though.

[dvalarezo]

Marley: Ebenezer? Remember when I was alive I robbed from widows and swindled the poor?

Scrooge: Yes, and all in the same day. Oh, you had class, Jacob.

[Snegenad1]

Great! I watched this (Dutch version) 20 years ago. Does Scrooge McDuck always speak in that accent? This ís the first time he lives up to his name!

[HHog]

Yes, Scrooge's English voice acting usually does have a Scottish accent, as far as I know. But then, I suppose it would be kind of hard for a Dutch voice actor to put up a Scottish accent. =P

[ScienceSplat]

isn't this a great version- i got to go find this in the closet tonight!

[balamari1]

This is the exact airing that we taped when I was a child. It has been soo many years since I have seen it I thought it was lost forever. Thank you soo much.

[EmmyKami]

OMG. This is on tonight on ABC Family! :D <333 I was soooo hoping it'd be on t.v. one day for the Holidays! <333 I can't wait! :D

Anyone else besides me gonna watch it tonight? :D

[videolgs95]

i wondered this jacob marley (goofy) seems so clumsy right. how did he rob the widows and swindled the poor if he acts really clumsy?

[DTVzone]

He robbed them while running a lending house, not by literally going out and robbing their homes.

[Omnitrix12]

@videolgs95 What DTV said, and the chains and weight must be hard to manage too.

[carebear459]

do you think goofy died.... (no efense) beacause he was sooo clumsy! XD

[CharmedRebel123]

i love it at 2:15 where he kicks his nephew out

[terumihoshino]

oh i agree! this is more entertaining as well! where else can we find funny ghost like goofy? ;D

[incrediblehulkmovies]

This is more intriging than the new movie with Jim Carrey.

[amandawonderboy]

I thought the new christmas carol was very good. these 2 movies can't be compared to each other. the classic disney christmas carol is a treasure, but the new christmas carol touched me just as much as the old disney cartoon version.

[llamaempress]

I agree wholeheartedly. Just because they are the same story and done by Disney doesn't mean they can be compared. I love both versions for completely different reasons

[DTVzone]

Two works of art, especially two that are sourced from the same piece of popular literature, can ALWAYS be compared to one another. You don't have to agree with observations made from these comparisons, but it's ridiculous to reject them outright.

Personally, hand-drawn animation is more compelling to me than the dead eyed, 3D meat puppet mocap stuff Robert Zemeckis is obsessed with these days, which I wouldn't really classify as animation in the traditional sense at all.

[llamaempress]

Was this a response to me? Either way, i'd have to disagree. But Merry Christmas to you regardless and thank you for uploading this

[comgeek24]

At 0:41 I can imagine Cratchit thinking "Yes, sir..you freaking cheapskate." lol

[todayortomorrow]

Can't have a movie with Goofy without the Goofy scream/cry

"Yaaaahooohooo!"

I haven't seen this in forever! This used to be a Christmas tradition, I haven't seen our VHS of it in years...

[weened1]

Goofy said"3 spirits"

Not 2

[jhughes22891]

Alan Young is the greatest voice actor of Scrooge!

[Goofyfan2009]

no one sounded like Goofy better than Pinto Colvig or Ben Farmer

[Weirdfish17]

i thought you'd be taller

hmph xD

[ChronoRiderRyuki2009]

R.I.P Wayne Allwine,you'll be missed

[dmc97ingc]

Ebeneezer Scrooooge! Ebeneezer Scroo...AAAH! WOAH!...Garsh kinda slippery.

LOL

[85agapanthusgal]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat lines! Hilarious, too:

Scrooge: "Here's your wreath back. Now out, out, out!" [kicks Fred out the door like a soccer ball, then slams the door after him]

Ghost of Christmas Past: "C'mon, Scrooge, it's time to go!"

Scrooge: "Then go."

LOL I ALWAYS laugh my head off at those lines! Classic lines they are! : D

[Nikanaiko]

We will always remember the late, great Wayne Allwine!

[FCSRaymond]

7:00 is my favriote part

[brooklyn1070]

love Christmas time...and Disney does it best! memories & good times ...classic tale

[shaheenahmad90]

I know, Disney is the best!!!

[wdsa8d]

i remember watching this a while back. good times.

[Gchaser7]

Good quality:O I was raised with this movie:D Thank you for posting...

[SirTimothyMarton]

This movies 20 years old I love this movie so much I grew up with it I never saw the whole special just the movie ittself I had it on VHS does anybody know if its out on DVD I would really like to buy it

[FroggoFan64]

They should've run this version of "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (with those two cartoons earlier) on ABC Family this year. Then they would've been able to show the full special instead of butchering it by cutting out several pieces of dialogue.

[acb06172005]

It's called buy the DVD and screw the cable.

[FroggoFan64]

Yeah, that's probably what they were making us do. Unfortunately, ABC Family did even worse editing to "Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too", which doesn't even HAVE an official DVD release (unless you count its slightly changed inclusion on "A Very Merry Pooh Year").

[jconifer7]

And whenever they air "Twas the Night Before Christmas" they always cut off the Give Your Heart a Try song out of fear of how its taken into context.

[wylon87]

Ducks eating goose?

[acb06172005]

Geez, at least all the other Bob's got a PAID, full day off on Christmas. In this version, Mickey, getting an UNPAID, half day off for Christmas is getting screwed. :P

I do love the clever way Scrooge gets rid of the charity collectors in this version. :)

[huntress1863]

Goofy holler @ 8:10!!

LOL!

[nieeneei]

I always lovesd this movie but does any one think it would be cool with music ?

[royaljuice]

do you mean make it into a musical?

[nieeneei]

yeah but that's my opinion cause I'm a sucker for musicals

[JRG251082]

I love Donald in this!! :) I love this cartoon!!! :D

[acb06172005]

You do realize that 2009 is Donald's 75th b-day, right?

[DerektheDuctTape]

HE's that old, cool. He looks really good for his age :-)

[SirTimothyMarton]

lol

[Opicarda]

ah, old scrooge, love him!

[AliceHastie313]

Love this :)
